Rodrigo Santoro: TV’s New Adoptive Daddy

Rodrigo Santoro is definitely someone you have seen on both the big and small screen. From Romance, to Sci-Fi, to Mystery, Santoro has been entertaining audiences for many years. Today, we can see him on Paramount +’s “Wolf Pack”, but previous credits include "Love Actually", HBO’s "Westworld", "Charlie’s Angels", ABC’s "Lost" and so much more. Not to mention, this leading man was born in Rio de Janeiro which completely opens up his resume to many projects in Portuguese. In Paramount’s latest hit TV show, Santoro portrays Garrett, the adoptive father of two of the main characters portrayed by Tyler Lawrence Gray and Chloe Rose Robertson, and from the first time we see him, we know there is more to the character than we are first led to believe. Make sure to watch him in Wolf Pack this season and all of his other projects which we know will take you hours to view.

Thank you for speaking with us. For someone who has such a large resume and various acting roles, what drew you to be involved with “Wolf Pack”?

I’m a curious being and always end up somehow finding myself in a challenging position. I have never done a supernatural show before and the role they have offered me is full of interesting conflicts and I was very captivated by the story itself and its characters. I also really liked the themes in it. I thought it was a very smart way to discuss environmental issues and an incredibly relevant theme like anxiety disorder especially after a pandemic where so many people are suffering from severe anxiety everywhere around the globe.

Prior to shooting, did you have any knowledge of “Teen Wolf” or the book series by Edo Van Belkom? If not, how did you research/prepare for the audition?

Teen wolf was such an influential show for so many people. Yes I was aware of it but it is important to say that this show is not a spin off or has any direct relationship with the Teen wolf universe. The only thing is that it is created by the same person, Jeff Davis. The preparation process was based on researches on environmental issues and the routine and life of a park ranger. I also did a lot of reading about the mythology around werewolves.

Can you tell us more about your character and what you have done to really bring him to life?

Garrett is an adoptive father of two adolescents that have a very specific condition. He’s also a park ranger that serves a community but must hide important secrets about his personal life. When you meet him, he is in deep trouble and struggling both physically and emotionally. Ultimately, bringing him to life was a result of the preparation process combined with the collaboration with all the other artists on set.

Tyler Lawrence Gray and Chloe Rose Robertson play your children in the series. What’s it like working with them? Was there any kind of professional advice you were you able to give them?

Tyler and Chloe are very wellraised individuals, and as sweet and humble as it gets. You know it’s interesting, I get this question a lot about giving them advice but I actually learned a lot from them. It is the first time I ever worked with younger actors like them and it was very important that the process of working together was an equal exchange between us. It was great working with them, it truly was an invigorating experience for me.

Someone else on set who rivals your success is Sarah Michelle Geller. What was it like working with her?

You only need a few minutes with Sarah to understand how intelligent, strong and experienced she is. We actually got along really well from day one. She has been a terrific scene partner, and she has a great sense of humor which builds such a pleasant atmosphere on set.

What’s what thing that you hope people love most about the show or connect with most?

I think this show’s strength and heart is really when it explores what it’s like to be part of a family; the one you were born into and the one you find along the way while living your life. That concept and importance of having a family is what really touched me.

Can you tell us one of your favorite memories from shooting Season 1 of “Wolf Pack”?

Shooting the wildfire sequences was a real wild experience. We were outdoors in the middle of the woods in this beautiful place. It was summertime in Atlanta, incredibly hot and humid and I was running up and down for hours. The struggle and the sweat were real. I really like that kind of sequence--where everything around you only adds to and collaborates to build the truth of the scene.

May be difficult to answer but is there any type of role that you are hoping to play in the future? Something you haven’t gotten to do yet?

I’m very curious as I’ve mentioned. I have never performed action in a film before. I have been a part of an incredibly successful action film, 300 but unfortunately, I was never actually involved in the action sequences in the film. That’s something I think I could have a lot of fun doing and I’d love to do in a film.

Give us two truths and a lie, and hopefully our readers can figure out what the lie is.

I went to medical school before working as an actor Surfing is my favorite sport I like to do my own stunts

As you know Bello magazine is a fashion and lifestyle magazine. Can you share with our readers your take on style and fashion sense?

To me, style shows the world who you are. Fashion is like art— it’s an expression and an artistic manifestation of who you can be in different moments of your life.

For the Dior Summer 2023 men's collection, Kim Jones invites us on a fascinating journey through space and time, from Paris to Granville, and to Charleston. Audacious silhouettes combine the elegance of tailoring with the functionality of outdoor wear, thus bringing together heritage, modernity and adventure.

NATURE MEETS COUTURE

Gardening, hiking, fishing: whether formal or informal, the looks of the Dior Summer 2023 men’s collection combine elegance and levity in the spirit of sportswear to celebrate nature. The colors – from Dior grays to pinks and pastel shades from greens to blues, bring nature’s luminous, lush gradients to life. Bold tailoring is reinvented through delicate shorts and Bermudas, or completed with a detachable tonal lapel revisiting iconic suit sleeves. The emblematic men’s Bar jacket comes in a sheer silk organza version that reveals its virtuoso construction down the path of the thread. Coats continue this bucolic odyssey, completing the show’s silhouettes with equal parts functionality and refinement, as with the large trench coats casually layered over reflective vests. Duncan Grant's 1913 Lily Pond Screen adorns technical fabrics as well as traditional embroidery, while the British painter’s sketches were reproduced in precious handmade knits. The resolutely contemporary look underlines the immutable yet ever-evolving bond between fashion and art.

“Granville and Sussex have a similar climate; the weather, the light and the garden tie one place to the other. For both Christian Dior and Duncan Grant, their homes, their gardens, and their private environments were so important for their creativity. It was these meaningful, private spheres that were translated into their work and became public. Here, we are mixing the utilitarian, natural and gardening elements with stylised, luxurious, New Look facets and Duncan Grant artworks in the collection – the private and the public together. There is an idea of the passage of time, the changing weather and light of the seasons, as well as continuity, artistic communities and the legacy of the house of Dior.” Kim

Jones

Conceived as a continuation of the conversation that started for winter, of looking at Christian Dior in this 75th anniversary year of the House, here the collection is once more made glorious summer by Kim Jones, the Artistic Director of men’s collections. We travel in space and time from Paris to the countryside, to Normandy and Granville – Dior’s birthplace and the home of his legendary garden – as well as to Sussex and Charleston, the country residence of the Bloomsbury Group artist Duncan Grant. Once again, personal histories intertwine through the collection, linking the past with the present and the future of the House; from past creative milieus to their influence on present ones.

The changing light and the mutability of the natural environment are reflected in the colour palette of the collection, from the gradation of Dior grays, pinks and pastels, to the utilitarian gardening, walking and fishing, greens and blues. All are employed with a certain well-bred rebellion; an insouciance in clothes and accessories, at once extravagant and practical, formal and informal, that betray a stratification of history but evoke an effortless contemporary existence. Reclaimed cashmere, double-breasted tailored coats are teamed with tailored shorts in thirties fabrications – with built-in turned-down waistbands – and walking shoes. The new Bar jackets continue, made in semi-transparent silk organza, to reveal the strict, traditional masculine construction of the garments underneath; sweeping cotton duster coats are casually slung over tech reflective gilets; Duncan Grant’s Lily Pond Screen (c.1913) punctuates reflective tech fabric and traditional needlepoint; the Dior cannage continues to be used as utilitarian quilting for coats; while Duncan Grant's sketches are translated as complex yet easeful hand knits.

Smart insouciance together with elegant practicality also produces effortless, everyday luxe in bags and footwear in the collection, belying the complexity of the design process behind both. The atelier together with Mystery Ranch – a technical, outdoor brand, revered for its work with the rescue services –produces new, practical, compartmentalised Saddle bags, rucksacks and belt bags for the collection. The rucksacks, which can be worn with suits, are equipped with detachable waterproof covers and hoods. Embroidered overshoes are paired with Dior Carlo Derbies. The new cannage sandals are made in one piece from recycled rubber, while the boots are crafted by assembling two interconnected parts. Each is a feat of technical engineering not usually achieved at a fashion house. Stephen Jones’ inimitable millinery also features high-tech construction with 3D printed ‘pergola’ gardening hats layered over baseball caps. The design is one based on the straw gardening hat Duncan Grant wore throughout his life to paint in, combined with the trellis-work of the pergola in Monsieur Dior’s garden.

Emily in Paris” is an idolized romantic depiction of Parisian life. What are some concepts of the show that you think are exaggerated? What do you think the show gets correct about Paris? We have more rain in Paris! And not everyone dresses as well as in the show haha. But we definitely have the best pastries in the world, that’s for sure.

For any travelers going to Paris because of the show, is there any secret place of interest you would suggest they visit? (Besides the Eiffel Tower or what is super popular)

Honestly, I think the best thing to do is to get lost in the city and discover your own favorite spots. There are so many good places, it’s the journey to get there that is interesting. It’s part of the charm of Paris, letting yourself flow in this beautiful city.

If you could play any other character in “Emily in Paris”, who would it be?

Probably Luc because I think he’s hilarious but Bruno Gouery is the perfect man for the job already so I’ll keep Benoit haha.

What’s it like working with your “Emily in Paris” castmates?

It’s like working with family now! Everyone is so genuine I feel very comfortable in this environment. We love hanging out together and the fact that we all share the same passion for the craft of acting is really cool and inspiring. Can’t wait to see them again.

We expect Benoît to return in the next season, is there anything you can tease about what will happen with him?

I guess we can always expect him to keep his floral shirts open but I’m afraid that’s all I can say for now!

Growing up, what was your favorite French show?

I loved French movies, but I remember growing up as a kid with more American tv shows like “Malcom in the Middle”, “Even Stevens”, “My Wife and Kids” and then “One Tree Hill” for example.

What do you do in your free time when you’re not acting?

Go to the movies, read, play music, answer my mom’s phone calls a hundred times a day. But mostly I spend time with my son!

Do you have a favorite quote or motto you live by?

I like to think that “everything happens for a reason” so whenever I’m feeling down about something, whether it's personal or professional, I’m convinced that it’s because the universe has bigger plans. I tell myself it was meant to be that way and things will turn out even better in the near future so just “trust the process”.

Bello is a fashion and lifestyle magazine. If you could choose, what would be your perfect day and how would you describe your fashion style?

The perfect day for me would be at the beach in Portugal with my grandparents and my son. Life’s simple pleasures. I can’t really describe my style because it’s a little bit different everyday. Fashion is a whole language for me so it depends on what I want to say ! I love wearing old vintage clothes but also iconic fashion brands. It’s all about mixing things together and feeling confident.

The series has garnered a dedicated fan base, with viewers becoming invested in the characters, relationships, and mythology of the show. One of the reasons for its success is its ability to balance supernatural elements with themes that are relatable to teenagers, such as love, friendship, and identity.

Throughout the show's six-season run, viewers were introduced to a variety of supernatural creatures, including werewolves, werecoyotes, banshees, and more. The mythology of the show was complex and intertwined, with each season building upon the previous one and introducing new elements to the story.

One of the standout aspects of Teen Wolf was its diverse cast of characters, who represented different races, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. The show tackled issues such as discrimination, homophobia, and mental health, bringing attention to important social issues in a way that resonated with its young audience.

The relationships between the characters were a major focus of the show, with fans shipping their favorite couples and rooting for their favorite friendships. The romance between Scott and his love interest Allison was a major storyline in the early seasons, while the bromance between Scott and his best friend Stiles became a fan favorite.

The show's legacy has extended beyond its six seasons, with a dedicated fan base still active on social media and fan sites. The series also spawned a successful podcast, "Wolf Watch", where cast members and fans discussed each episode and provided behind-the-scenes insights.

In addition to its cultural impact, Teen Wolf launched the careers of its young cast, including Tyler Posey, Dylan O'Brien, and Holland Roden. Many of the actors have gone on to star in other successful shows and movies, cementing their place in the entertainment industry. Overall, Teen Wolf has left a lasting impact on the world of supernatural television, introducing a new generation of viewers to the genre and creating a loyal fan base. With its complex mythology, diverse characters, and relatable themes, the show will continue to be remembered and cherished by fans for years to come.

Through the years, BELLO had several wolfs encounters. Take a forest stroll down memory lane with us and enjoy some portraits from our cabin in the woods.

Gift of J. Paul Getty

Getty Museum presents Connections: Asia, featuring five exceptional works of Asian art on loan from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and displayed alongside European paintings and sculpture in the Getty’s collection.

“The Getty Museum is delighted to be able to showcase a selection of outstanding works of Asian art from the collections of LACMA, presented in visual dialogue with European art in our permanent collection galleries,” says Timothy Potts, Maria Hummer-Tuttle and Robert Tuttle Director of the J. Paul Getty Museum.

Made between the fourteenth and the eighteenth centuries in China, India, Korea, and Japan, the LACMA loans are displayed with works in the Getty’s collection created around the same time in Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Great Britain, and France. This juxtaposition creates visual and thematic dialogues that highlight the form and function of devotional images, woodcarving techniques, traditions of painting landscapes and portraits of prominent individuals, and the trade of luxury goods.

“This presentation provides new global perspectives on the Getty Museum’s collection of European paintings and sculpture,” says Davide Gasparotto, senior curator of painting at the Getty Museum. “It also provides an exciting opportunity to explore artistic themes and visual connections between different cultures of the same time period.”

The visual conversations include a 14th-century Buddhist devotional image depicting Guanyin, on display alongside late medieval devotional paintings; a 17th-century Indian sculpture of the Hindu Goddess Kali together with the Getty’s Spanish polychrome sculpture of Santa Ginés de la Jara by Luisa Roldan; a Chinese landscape painting by Wu Li titled Reciting Poetry before the Yellowing of Autumn with an array of Dutch 17th-century landscape paintings; an 18th-century portrait of the Korean scholar-official Yun Bonggu hanging among the Getty’s collection of 18th century French and British portraits; and a spectacular 18th-century Japanese six-panel screen depicting a group of cranes near Tissot’s Portrait of Marquise de Miramon, which features a similar screen in the background.

On view from February 7 – May 7, 2023
