Upon hearing the news that Jared Leto will portray a designer in an upcoming biopic, one might assume the actor is to take on the role of Gucci’s, but that would be incorrect. In his newest project, announced on Thursday, Leto will once again disappear into a character that will require a complete transformation, as well as some accent work. The actor is set to star as Karl Lagerfeld in a film about the German-born designer’s long life and illustrious career.
According to a press release, the film will “cover the key relationships in Karl Lagerfeld’s life, told though an unpredictable lens, much like the man himself.” As for it it will explore romantic relationships, Leto remained fairly coy. “There are a multitude of relationships to explore,” he toldKarl had a career that spanned 50-plus years so both personally and professionally he was close to a number of people.
According to Righi, the fashion house was approached many times over the years from producers interested in bringing Lagerfeld’s story to the screen. “It has been only since we met Jared and Emma that we felt truly confident about the story being told in the artistic way Karl would have loved to see,” the CEO said in the release.
Leto has been a fixture in the fashion scene for years, and met Lagerfeld many times, specifically in St. Tropez where the designer spent his summers. Recently, Leto has maintained a close relationship with Michele at Gucci, and plans to continue to work with him, but the actor believes that relationship will help him in this project.
