It’s fitting that fashion’s reigning king of pop culture has finally swallowed it whole. Marc Jacobs adds acting to his never-ending list of talents with his first role in the upcoming film, Disconnect, in which he stars alongside Jason Bateman, Hope Davis, Alexander Skarsgard and Andrea Riseborough. The film plays out a series of cautionary nightmares that result after the characters’ various naughty online activities.

Disconnect opens in select theatres on April 12, but for a little snippet of Marc Jacobs’ acting skills, watch the trailer here:

It’s not every day that you get to watch someone ride a dolphin through space or hang out in the mouth of a shark, but in the video for “Atlantis” Azealia Banks has the honour of taking part of these activities (not IRL, in case you were wondering). The 21-year-old has carved a spot for herself in the fashion world with her love of crop tops and perfectly wavy hair, not to mention her model pals like Cara Delevingne and guest star spots at parties for Chanel, H&M’s Anna Dello Russo collab and more.

Somewhere between NYFW, PFW, and LVMH, Marc Jacobs has found time to enter NSFW territory. It’s been reported that the designer has been cast in the indie drama Disconnect as a porn baron. Jacobs has been reported as saying that the character is completely unlike his real self. We beg to differ, though. After all, […]
