Jared Leto is set to play Karl Lagerfeld in an upcoming biopic.
Jared Leto is set to play renowned German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld in a new biopic. An iconic figurehead in the fashion world, Lagerfeld died in 2019, aged 85. Now, Morbius star Leto is slated to immortalize the late creative in a film about his life.
As expected at this stage, significant details on the biopic's central focus have been kept under wraps. However, the film is reported to showcase the core relationships in Largerfeld's colorful life, through a unique perspective, according to Deadline. Leto is expected to co-produce with his partner Emma Ludbrook, as part of their production company Paradox. The duo will co-produce alongside Lagerfeld’s House of Karl Lagerfeld.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Actor-come-musician Leto has teased the venture will push the boundaries on what a biopic is, an idea which appears to be a nod to Lagerfeld's unapologetic audaciousness as a designer. "Karl has always been an inspiration to me," he said. "He was a true polymath, an artist, an innovator, a leader and, most importantly, a kind man.
The team behind Lagerfeld's on-screen epic will likely have a task ahead of them cherry-picking highlights from the designer's incredible life. A pioneer of innovation, Lagerfeld carved a path for himself as someone who was unafraid to challenge the norms and it was that spark that saw him flourish at countless fashion houses. His portfolio is studded with designs for industry giants including, Valentino, Fendi and Chloé.
The Lagerfeld biopic does not yet have a release date. In the meantime check out Leto's last foray into high fashion with the House of Gucci trailer:
