Daniel Brühl & Théodore Pellerin Interview: Becoming Karl Lagerfeld
Based on the biography Kaiser Karl: The Life of Karl Lagerfeld, Hulu’s splashy new limited series, Becoming Karl Lagerfeld, lives up to its name, as it focuses on the ten years leading up to Lagerfeld becoming, well, Karl Lagerfeld. Lagerfeld, who passed in 2019, was an iconic German fashion designer, who made a name for himself as he worked his way through several of the top fashion houses in Paris in the 1970s and 80s, before becoming the creative director of Chanel until his death. Known best for his slicked-back ponytails and chic sunglasses, there was more than met the eye when it came to Lagerfeld, and that’s the story that the fashionable French series aims to explore.
While Lagerfeld was quite shrewd about his personal relationships in life, there is quite a bit known about his decade-spanning romance with noted socialite Jacques de Bascher, and Becoming Karl Lagerfeld respects Lagerfeld’s insistence that he and de Bascher’s relationship was never physical. This dynamic, brought to life by Daniel Brühl’s Karl and Théodore Pellerin’s Jacques, makes for a rather enthralling watch, as it evokes images of chaste 19th century romances. An idea which does come up in our conversation about the series. Ahead of the premiere, I had the privilege of chatting with Brühl and Pellerin about their respective roles, and how the relationship between the two men functioned.
Brühl kicked the conversation off by discussing how bringing Karl Lagerfeld to life differed from some of his previous roles playing characters based on real-life men, and from there he and Pellerin proved to be just as delightful as the roles they played. In addition to speaking about their roles and their sweet tooths, Brühl also spoke briefly about his upcoming film The Collaboration, though he wasn’t able to share much more than Paul Bettany was when asked a few months ago.
