the caption read.<\/p>\n<p>According to the namesake fashion house, the forthcoming film &#8220;will cover the key relationships in Karl Lagerfeld&#8217;s life, told through an unpredictable, much like the man himself.&#8221; Filmmakers will work with Pier Paolo Righi, the former CEO of Maison Karl, advisor Caroline Lebar and personal assistant and bodyguard, Sebastien Jondeau, as executive producers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CjXWl6AsRiJ\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

In fact, in an interview with\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/fashion-news\/fashion-features\/karl-lagerfeld-movie-jared-leto-biopic-1235376906\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WWD<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>Leto revealed that he told the designer, &#8220;You know, one day I have to play you in a movie,&#8221; to which Lagerfeld apparently replied, &#8220;Only you darling, only you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My role is to portray him on screen as honestly as possible,&#8221; he told the publication. &#8220;With celebrity, most people don&#8217;t get to see under the surface. They see one or two facets of a person as presented through a public lens. Karl was a human being. We all have beauty within us and we all have faults. We have masks and then we have moments when we reveal the mask. I&#8217;m always interested in seeing what&#8217;s behind the mask.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lagerfeld and his influence in the fashion industry will also form the theme for next year&#8217;s Met Gala. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is set to host an exhibit called <em>Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. <\/em>It will reportedly\u00a0&#8220;explore the artistic methodology and stylistic vocabulary of Karl Lagerfeld&#8217;s designs through recurring themes across more than 65 years, from the 1950s to his final collection in 2019.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The new role arrives after Leto also played designer Paolo Gucci in the\u00a0<em>House of Gucci.\u00a0<\/em>We just hope this next film is better received.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"credit-style\">Tile credit: Rindoff\/Dufour\/Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1627,"featured_media":28174,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[36,65,35],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) -
