Sebastien Jondeau spent 20 years as the designer’s personal assistant and bodyguard, and continues his collaboration with the brand today as Style Consultant.
“Karl has always been an inspiration to me,” Jared Leto said, quoted by Deadline. “He was a true polymath, an artist, an innovator, a leader and, most importantly, a kind man. When we came together with the Karl Lagerfeld team, we immediately shared a creative vision of doing a respectful ode to Karl while pushing the artistic boundaries of what a biopic can be. I’m so grateful to Karo, Pier and Seb for allowing us to go on this journey together.”
Deadline further states that the exact storyline is currently under the wraps, though the film will cover the key relationships in Lagerfeld’s life, told through an unpredictable lens, much like the man himself. Producers are currently in conversation with filmmakers.
