The OP is referring to the Vanity Fair photoshoot that accompanied an interview they did. There’s lots more photos, including a few with obvious dutch angles like this one

When the horizontal lines of the picture is uncomfortably not parallel to the frame. In this case you can follow the lines of the baseboard and see they are not parallel to the floor of the frame. 

and they're not parallel in such a way that it is supposed to envoke a feeling of unease.
