What is the first memory you have of fashion? You said that you are a collector of sneakers …
I remember that when I was about fourteen years old none of my friends really thought about clothes. But I put the money aside for a red jacket that I liked and I said to myself “I must have it”, I think it was from a Japanese designer … I felt so fashionable and it never happened to me. Before the age of fourteen I had never thought about fashion and that was the moment of passage, in which I became aware of it. In my life I have had multiple stages. I bought a lot on ebay and little by little I became fond of sneakers. It was always the same model, focusing on details and every possible change … I owned all the variants of the same shoe!

If I asked you to describe your personal style, how would you define it?
It’s strange because I spend a lot of time hiding it in a way, I don’t think it’s a real style. I could not define it precisely, eccentric clothes certainly attract me a lot. However in everyday life I wear normal clothes without having a precise aesthetic.

How do you make your careers coexist in the world of fashion and cinema? You have been working on it for years, for example with the Dior Homme perfume campaigns. How do you make these two worlds live together?
The thing that attracted me to cinema, especially in recent years, was the atmosphere of darkness … I like the contrast with the works I did for Dior, which are attractive in a more conventional sense.

The new Dior Homme perfume campaign is dedicated to a strong man. What does “strength” mean to you?
I believe that strength is being able to listen, rather than saying everything we feel we have to say. Very often people want to demonstrate at all costs that they are perfect by placing themselves at the center of attention, instead you have to be patient and to be so you have to be comfortable with yourself. Being strong also means being empathetic, without judging.

In The Blaze video you dance and you seem to have a lot of fun …
It was incredibly fun. At one point I was taking dance steps behind the room and they yelled at me “ride!” and I in the midst of the din, dancing I could not understand, so I asked “What are you saying?” and they replied “Fly!”. It was really all excited but very exciting.

Can you consider yourself a beauty buff? And what is your beauty routine?
A beauty buff? No, I don’t consider myself a beauty buff. For years I have done nothing except wash my face. Then, as I got older, I realized that I had to take care of my skin: I’m no longer twenty! One thing I love to do are fabric masks, like the ones people make on planes to relax.

One last question about your career: who do you think was your film master? Is there any role you dream of playing?
Marlon Brando was an icon for me, I think nobody can match him. About my dream role … I have to say that every character and character I played at the beginning seemed so strange, but each of these made me happy to give it life. And it made me who I am.
