Currently, you may know him from “Yellowstone”, “Man Men” and a few years back you may know him from “Teen Wolf” as Daddy Peter Hale, outshining some of his other younger costars like Tyler Posey and Dylan O’Brien, but actor Ian Bohen is sure to continue entertaining us on both the big and small screen for years to come. We were happy to speak to the talented man who has lived a full life in front of the camera and in his personal life, exploring the world, spending time appreciating nature and what life has to offer. For what makes him appreciate his everyday life, check out our Q&A below! Soon, you will catch in him an upcoming film titled “Call Me Now: The Rise and Fall of Miss Cleo” (not to be confused with the HBO documentary) and if we’re being honest, Ian Bohen can call us anytime.
From playing Young Hercules, to Roy Hazelitt in “Mad Men”, Peter Hale in “Teen Wolf” and all the other characters, is there a character you would consider to be your favorite? The reason for it?
My favorite role over the years would have to be Peter Hale from Teen Wolf. The villain who ends up redeemable and maybe even somewhat sympathetic is very interesting to try and pull off so that’s been a rewarding challenge to try and overcome.
Tell us about the most memorable experience you’ve had shooting with the cast of “Yellowstone” and the cast of ‘Teen Wolf: the Movie”.
Yellowstone bunkhouse scenes with so many of the cast in a small space doing everything from loving to fighting to playing music, are the ones that stick in my mind. All the personalities of the characters and their interactions in that location really stand out. We have the most amazing times there.
The finale of Teen Wolf: The Movie, was shot at night with the whole cast back together again. We shot the first two seasons of that show there in Atlanta, and for all of us to return to the origin and be there in the cold of night fighting the bad guys and reliving what we’d done years before was a wonderful feeling. Seeing everyone's faces there was nostalgic. We all have a very special relationship that's just gotten tighter over the last 12 years.
It was great to learn you are quite familiar with ranch life, riding horses and spending time on your grandfather’s ranch. Are there any life lessons that our city-dwelling readers could take from those summers you spent on his ranch? I think people in the cities need to take time to slow down and spend more of their lives on and with the land. It’s a living breathing part of our world and it’s often taken for granted. Our food, air, and water all come from this planet where we’re just guests for a little while. Ranching, farming, or even just hiking or even resting in the quiet under the sun can give you a real perspective on what’s important in life.
What do you do in your free time when you’re not acting?
I love to travel and meet people in foreign countries. I try their food and make an attempt at learning a bit of their language so I can communicate and show them that I respect their culture. That's my favorite way to spend time. Clearly, I love the outdoors so I’m always backpacking or playing in the woods somewhere. Also, being in the ocean is one of my favorite things to do. You’ll also find me on a motorcycle quite a bit of the time with friends trekking across the country. Golf and tennis are also some of my favorite activities. And lastly, I love to cook. I spend the majority of my time at home in the kitchen.
Do you have a favorite quote or motto you live by?
No matter what happens in life I like to say that the show must go on. it’s true in my business and all of life no matter what sector you're in.
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?
My perfect day would start with a workout. I like to get my heart pumping strong early in the morning because I think it carries you through the whole day. Getting some creative work done early is also really important. It could be work or even some writing. Could be listening to new music lyrics and hearing someone else’s art and trying to feel what they’re saying. Of course, working on your own thing is ideal but don’t put too much pressure on yourself. The victory is in the effort, not the result. Lunch with
friends outside somewhere with lots of laughs would be next. I like a couple of games of chess in the park with friends now and then so let's put that in there. I’m a huge fan of food and wine so as we’re getting ready for dinner, I like to put on a custom-made suit. I don’t think a man can look better in anything than a suit of clothes. Max Girombelli in New York makes them as good as you can get. So now that we’re looking and feeling good it's time for a martini before dinner and then sitting down for a romantic meal. Perhaps a show afterward. I love concerts, ballet, plays, you name it. Any type of community gathering to watch good performances makes me happy. After that, a late night dip in the pool, and then falling asleep on the couch watching a movie. That sounds like a pretty perfect day. The other alternate is waking up before dawn and then spending 16 hours on set with your colleagues making something you care about and then driving home and falling straight into bed only to get up and do it again the next day. Both options rewarding in their own ways. ;)
Tell us two truths and a lie. Hopefully our readers will be able to point out the lie.
I’ve never been to Hawaii
I’ve had 2 holes in one’s playing golf
I met Barack Obama once
Can you tell us what exciting things are happening in 2023?
Excited about a film coming this fall titled, “Call Me Now.” It’s a biopic about Miss Cleo from the early 2000s who was a psychic on TV and she has the most interesting story.
Also, we’re very excited about the next season of Yellowstone shooting this summer.
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
JonesConceived 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.
KEV DIAS
Photography DAVID HIGGS Creative Direction STEPHANE MARQUET StylingBONJOUR MY LOVELY AND MOST FASHIONABLE READERS! THIS ISSUE WE HAVE QUITE THE TREAT FOR YOU AS WE ARE HAPPY TO FEATURE ONE OF EMILY IN PARIS’ LEADING ROMANTIC MEN THAT MAKE US WANT TO BOOK A ONE-WAY TRIP TO THE CITY OF LOVE! IF YOU AREN’T CAUGHT UP WITH THE NETFLIX INTERNATIONAL HIT, WE ASK YOU TO MAKE SURE TO BINGE AND KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR BENOIT PLAYED BY THE HANDSOME ACTOR KEVIN DIAS. NOT ONLY ARE WE FANS OF THE SHOW, BUT WE’RE ALSO ECSTATIC THAT BENOIT PLAYED A LOVE INTEREST TO THE MUSICALLY INCLUDED MINDY PLAYED ASHLEY PARK. MOVE OVER, EMILY! IN AN ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE, THIS IS MINDY IN PARIS AND BENOIT IS THE MAN WE’VE BEEN WANTING TO KNOW MORE OF SINCE SEASON 1. ENJOY OUR CHAT BELOW WITH KEVIN DIAS!
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.

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.
