I’ve read a lot of celebrity pieces but I have never read of a celebrity that gets so much compliments from the writers/journalists like Tom does. Always going on and on about his charismatic personality.
Timmy vogue article last year was a disaster from the beginning to end, that’s how i know journalists don’t let celebrities have as much control as people think 
The only thing actors may have some control over is the date/time of the interview, the location(s) of the interview, and in some cases, they might request a specific journalist if there's an already established relationship.
They might also have some control over the final photo edits, but that's not always the case.
I believe Law has some editorial control over Zs final pictures before they go to publication. But Law is an A++++ top tier level stylist with an earned reputation and cemented places in his trade, and Z is obviously A-list supreme.
But for a lot of actors, especially those just starting out or cover stars less exposed, they only see the cover and inside photos when the issue is released. WoC and plus size women are often times victims of bad photoshop or weird editing and the they'll have no control over the final outcome.
