BE UNEXPECTED

www.wooyoungmi.com

It’s a question that fathers ask their sons at a very early age: what do you want to be when you grow up? Of course it’s all in good fun, a game played with the imagination of a child. But it’s a rumination we carry with us through adolescence and into adulthood, this idea of identity and sense of self, what we want to be and what we inevitably become. While, of course, no one man fits into any single category, we undoubtedly have models for masculinity and modes of manhood. That’s what we want to meditate on with this issue: what are our favorite manifestations of manliness? The photographer Sølve Sundsbø looks at the Freak, a dark and subversive vision of menswear full of black leather and spikes. Josh Olins ponders what it looks like to be Undercover, dressing the sort of man who buries himself—and his secrets—under a voluminous coat.

On the actor Luke Evans, David Armstrong sees a Tycoon’s buttoned up elegance. Cedric Buchet and the model Rock Ji pay homage to the pioneer of ferocity Bruce Lee. And basketball phenom Dwyane Wade proves you have to be a warrior on and off the court.

For the young Hollywood heartthrobs photographed by Hedi Slimane, life may just be beginning to take shape, but their careers are certainly rocketing. Or take cover star Taylor Lautner, photographed by Steven Klein, a young man who may be exiting his teen years a self-made millionaire with his own production company, but at what cost? And finally, Klein helps select and photographs our VMAN and FORD model search winners Clark Cord and Matthew Terry—young men plucked from anonymity, thrust onto the first big ride of their lives.

They know what they want to be, but what will they become?

That’s the question every man has to ask himself. And even though it’s one that’s almost impossible to answer, and a true VMAN can find in himself almost any archetype—we are all of us heroes, fighters, freaks, lovers—we hope this issue helps remind you how broad is the spectrum of masculinity, and how much fun it is to be a man.

A.J. GREEN We spoke With the All-AmericAn footbAll Wide receiver the dAy before the cincinnAti bengAls chose him 4th overAll in the nfl drAft Atop a stool in the center of a chaotic room, under fluorescent lights, sits a Louis Vuitton Damier bag in graphite. Assistants and trainers buzz around the perimeter. Over the rumblings of lunchtime conversation, the faint sound of a camera’s shutter emanates from a darkened room around the corner. The bearer of the handbag, A.J. Green, sits on another stool, posing shirtless in a decidedly calmer mood than he was in this morning. This is his last shoot before everything in his life changes.

In a day, Green will become the first wide receiver to be selected in the NFL Draft. The Cincinnati Bengals, with the fourth pick, will snap him up. But for now, the static energy of uncertainty is palpable. More shoots will come, but never another on the day before the draft.

His final photo is snapped and he dives on a couch to talk, while the buzzing staffers gather in a corner.

Green speaks in a confident, subdued, and relaxed tone, politely answering questions about his game, with one eye on that bag.

“I love fashion,” he says, confessing a penchant for shoes. Economical with his words, he adds: “But football is my life.” Having competed since the seventh grade, Green credits his parents with getting him involved, citing them as his heroes, above all football’s greats. “Just my parents,” he says. “They got me to this point.” Green also mentions the rigor of his college program, at the University of Georgia. “Playing in the SEC prepared me well, because I went into competition every week.” Then he explains his straightforward approach to fitness: endurance training, running routes, and silence. “I am not a ‘listen to music’ working out guy,” he says.

Green speaks fondly of his Georgia Bulldog teammates and will miss the brotherhood they formed. These same friends are anticipating Green’s success in the impending draft. “A lot of them are coming. I don’t drink, but a lot of them will probably get drunk.” Having moved from his native South Carolina to play for the Bulldogs, Green insists his future move is a nonissue—he will do whatever is necessary to play the game. “I don’t think my life will change that drastically. I just feel like I’m going to have money now, nothing different.”

An early day awaits him at Radio City Music Hall, for which Green reveals he will prepare by getting a haircut and suiting up. As for the team he would prefer to be chosen by, he answers, diplomatically, “It doesn’t even matter—whoever picks me up.” We may never know just how the new Bengal celebrated his anointment as the NFL’s top new wide out, but his future sportsmanship will be on display for all to witness in the coming season. “It’s different and exciting. You only go through this process once,” he says. “So I’m enjoying it.” RobeRto Reyes PhotogRaPhy aLeX JohN beCK PANTS sisLey UNDERWEAR NiKe

There is a Warholian quality to any opening at the Prism Gallery in Los Angeles. The venue is large, and the exterior is a swirl of glass right on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood—ideal for oversized works and curious passersby. The crowds that pack in to see the shows— and drink, smoke, and socialize on the roof—are even larger than the space can accommodate. “I believe it’s attractive to people who aren’t your usual art comers,” says PC Valmorbida, who founded the gallery with his friend Jared Najjar late last year. “I’m happy that people view Prism in that way, because that’s what I’m going for.”

While the owners of the space are young, the shows that have been featured at Prism certainly don’t lack seriousness. The gallery has displayed works by the Japanese artist Nobuyoshi Araki, in a show he called “Perspective,” and presented a retrospective of the monochromatic works of Andy Warhol himself. Valmorbida and Najjar have organized group shows including works by Barry McGee, Ryan McGinness, Clare Rojas, and the late Dennis Hopper.

The space may be festive, but the fledging gallerist knows what he’s talking about. “Los Angeles is a thriving and rapidly emerging city for contemporary art,” he explains. “Having the opportunity to be a part of it in our way is something that attracted us to opening the gallery.”

One possible reason for Valmorbida’s keen ability to have fun in the workplace? He’s from Australia, a land he admits is well-known for merrymaking. He spent the first fifteen years of his life in Melbourne, where he became interested in art through the graffiti scene.

Then he moved to New York and ultimately relocated to L.A., two years ago. It seems a beach mentality was never far off. “A lot of my friends tend to be Australian, so that should tell you how I feel about them,” he laughs.

“I think we do like to have a good time more than most, and we’re pretty good at it.” derek blasberg

While making his first solo record, this crooner found that the girl Who almost got aWay Was the one he Was alWays looking for

A little background information: Garcia was born in Detroit, grew up in Florida, attended Brown University, and after graduation toured with the band Elefant, promoting their hit record, Sunlight Makes Me Paranoid.

It was a riotous ride: tour dates around the world, late When asked to describe his first solo record, Diego Garcia nights, movie-star friends, and even a photo spread quotes the poet and novelist Lawrence Durrell: “There are with Kate Moss in the pages of Vogue. But through it all, only three things to be done with a woman: you can love there was a girl in his life, Laura—the college sweetheart her, suffer for her, or turn her into literature.” For the former who drifted away when he hit the road.

Elefant front man—who spent more than five years putting When things slowed down for the band, Diego found together the recently released Laura, a tribute to his now himself back in New York, disillusioned after coming wife—those words are especially profound. “I was writing down from a hit record. He reconnected with Laura and to survive,” he says. “Those early sessions were extremely started working on a new album, which he describes as cathartic in dealing with the heartache I was experiencing. “a romance record set in the late 1960s off the coast of Their genesis was pure, and from the heart.”

Capri, a meditation on the malady of love.” Turns out

the album worked. After a few years, Diego finally won back the girl, and found the confidence to get back in the recording studio.

“It’s amazing how life changes. Personally, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. It’s much more pure and real,” says the singer, who now has a 1-year-old daughter, called Gigi. “Aside from the album being a romance record, it’s also a record about growing up. I learned true love is unconditional.” DErEk blasbErg PhotograPhy bEau grEaly styling tom van DorPE jACKET guEss sHIrT John varvatos

This fall, the surviving duo of Jonnine Standish and Nigel Yang return with Work (work, work), an elegiac and erotic grinder of stark electronic production, strung along by the doomed, sultry violence of Standish’s voice. HTRK will leave you heart-struck.

GuCCi AT 90 2011 represents the 90 th anniversary of the House of Gucci, and the brand cel-

ebrates this Fall with its 1921 limited edition collection. Consisting of many of the label's most iconic materials and signature pieces, Frida Giannini's latest range reinterprets age-old classics like the horsebit loafer in beautiful colors and skins. gucci.com

It seems apropos that Maurizio Cattelan’s first major retrospective is singularly titled, "All." An obvious reference to the function of a retrospective, it is also the title of an unusually somber piece by the artist from 2007, of nine shrouded bodies carved from marble. An expansive view of the artist’s work and its inherent humor, "All" will bring a broadened reception to Cattelan’s body of work, which spans twenty years and is rife with punch lines and jabs manifested into brightly colored sculptures and installations. Shown in the monumental Guggenheim in all of its artistic holiness, the tongue-in-cheek show will be one of the most head-turning visual spectacles of the season. Courtney MaliCk

The goriest and most ghoulish holiday of the year is getting even more gothic, thanks to Gareth Pugh. For Halloween 2011, Selfridges London is pulling out every trick-or-treat in the book for a storewide concept candidly titled “Dead Cool.”

Setting the mood in epitaph will be the store's first-time collaborator Pugh, mummifying the menswear floor in a branded pop-up shop with select designs from his Fall collection.

American brand reveals its newest leg in the form of ralph lauren black label Denim. A little less black tie and a little more metal, the rebellious new range rests squarely in the middle of these two archetypes, straddling the line between luxury and street. Available in a spectrum that goes from dark indigo to black, the monochrome looks feature sturdy leather detailing, military cuts, and industrial automotive themes. Crafted in tough, treated fabrics, the denim pieces mix seamlessly with scarves and cardigans in superfine cashmere knits. The result is a cool, contradictory combination with tailoring to give your best tux a run for its money. ralphlauren.com

SMItH'S CHArMINg MAN no one blends classic with quirky like Sir Paul Smith. rather than rely on a model or celebrity to carry his Fall collection into the marketplace, Smith circumvents expectation again by enlisting the face of rising u.k. art phenom Charming baker. “now that I’m an ambassador for the brand, it’s a bit like having a patron,” says the painter, known for his unconventional techniques—it’s common for the artist to shoot his canvases with a rifle—as much as he is for operating outside the art establishment. when it comes to crossing over into a commercial campaign, it is evident the artist has met his sartorial match. “He loves art and I love clothes,” baker says of Smith. “Paul takes things beyond the ordinary.” paulsmith.co.uk

modern meets minimal modernism and minimalism intersect with "brancusi and serra," a survey of the work of richard serra and the late Constantin brancusi, at the guggenheim in bilbao, spain. anyone familiar with the magnanimous work of serra won’t be surprised that the artist has found great inspiration in his predecessor’s sculptures (he even studied in the modern master’s paris studio in the mid 1960s shortly after his death). the overlap in the organic curvature of their forms is especially clear in serra’s drawings (an ongoing practice he describes as independent but concurrent with his more wellknown architectural sculptures), something the exhibition pointedly emphasizes. while both artists' work—brancusi was a major pioneer of modernism, while serra was the same for modernism’s related, if reactionary, cousin, minimalism—is unabashedly bold, masculine, and overwhelming, the joining of their sculpture seems to bring out something far more delicate in both bodies of work, a nuance as refreshing as it is subtle. the very undertaking of such an extensive exhibition speaks to the gravity of influence that both men have had upon the narrative of abstract sculpture. CM "brancusi and serra" is on view in october at the guggenheim bilbao, spain

gonzalez is speaking of his latest album, this fall’s Hurry Up We’re dreaming, two discs of spiraling, atmospheric dream pop representing a tidal shift from Saturdays, away from that

“since i was a child, i have always been fascinated by the epic,” says anthony gonzalez, via phone from the south of france. Coming from the mastermind behind the lush and cinematic synth/gaze act m83, it’s an understatement as vast as the scope of his sound. beginning with the self-titled m83 in 2001 through five studio albums, the last being 2008’s Saturdays = Youth, gonzalez has built a veritable universe of sound: a signature blend of ambient, electronic shoegaze with synthesizer driven power-pop, all beneath an omnipotent halo of post-2k gothic angst. “it’s such a cliché,” he explains, “but the best way to do something epic is to make a double disc record.”

Casa de CÁrdenas "i often design furniture as part of our interiors and architectural projects," says

architecture at large founder rafael de Cárdenas. "but it was definitely challenging to do a full collection divorced from a specific project." with a background

in fashion, architecture, and experiential design, de Cárdenas's first attempt includes geometric, cubic dressers, nesting chairs, and a hexagonal dining room table. the neon collection is available from johnsontradinggallery.com

dream loud

record's John hughes-inspired popinflicted spirit toward the infinite and dark interior of the human dreamscape. there's a marked difference in gonzalez’s vocal delivery, which is belted much louder than the breathless whispers that have consistently guided his song craft. “i expect people will react about the way i am singing, because it’s not like what i have done before,” he says. “i just got tired of whispering into the microphone. i felt more confident as a performer and i felt like i had to express what was inside of me. i needed to yell.” that same urgency bled into the concept of the album as a two-part journey. on the edge of turning 30, gonzalez gained a critical realization: “i think every artist wants to, at some point, put out a big, long double album,” he says. “i felt like if i didn’t do it now i might not get to do it at all, because the music business is different. people like to download songs, not listen to full albums. i want to create a record that you can listen to from beginning to end.”

Hailing from Stevenage, Hertfordshire, in England, World Championship race car driver Lewis Hamilton is well-known for setting records as much as for his dedication to the revered Vodafone McLaren Mercedes racing team. He is also regarded as the first black Formula One race car driver.

“For me, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes is a team of winners,” he says with frankness. “That might sound obvious because we’re a Formula One team, but I’ve never known an outfit where everybody is so committed to winning, and to fighting to be at the front, particularly in a sport that doesn’t take any prisoners.”

Indeed, the team’s motto is “we exist to win,” something that Hamilton has turned into his own living example, earning records like Youngest Driver World Championship in 2007. Famously, at the age of 10, Hamilton approached Ron Dennis, the team principal for Vodafone McLaren and told him “I want to race for you one day. I want to race for McLaren.” A couple of years later he joined the Mercedes-Benz Young Driver Support Programme, making him the youngest driver ever to secure a contract that led to a Formula One drive.

Now, at the age of 26, the former racing prodigy still calls the cockpit home, where he feels most comfortable—even when moving at upwards of 200 miles per hour.

“That, for me, is when life is at its purest,” he says. “Your focus is so intense that you’re almost anticipating what will happen ahead of you because it’s all happening so quickly. In a way, time actually slows down for you, because you’re in control.

Sometimes it’s actually hard to remember what happened because you were lost in that moment of pure focus.”

As AmbAssAdor for Louis Vuitton’s “mAde to order shoes,” Visconti cArries on the eLegAnce of his fAmiLy nAme And A LegAcy of bespoke design “Very few people know how to do it,” says Luchino Visconti di Modrone in regard to the art of shopping.

“Very few people know how to pick a suit that will suit them and will make them feel comfortable, so they go and buy stuff off the rack because it’s more reassuring.

Somebody has made the decision for them.”

As the ambassador for Louis Vuitton's new bespoke shoemaking service, Visconti believes shaping one’s look takes the type of understanding and astute learning curve more commonly applied to art.

“We don’t go into a cinema and start watching nouvelle vague films without knowing anything about it,” he says. “We’ve got to do a little, put a little effort into it, and study it to know what's going on.”

Having grown up in an era and place where bespoke tailoring was de rigueur, Visconti finds the practice of custom designing one's own wardrobe “kind of normal.”

Not having had a personal relationship to Louis Vuitton's products prior to his designation as ambassador, Visconti associated the brand more strongly with his lineage. “I know for a fact that a lot of people in my family have had luggage from Louis Vuitton,” he says.

“My grandfather and his brother, my great uncle Luchino Visconti”—the legendary Italian film director of such films as Death in Venice (1971) —”have had luggage pieces made to order from Louis Vuitton.”

“It’s a classic brand,” he says. “It stands for craftsmanship, tradition, and travel. These are the things I think about.”

As for custom design, those who are uninitiated are encouraged to give it a try. “It’s kind of like pampering yourself,” he says. “Only instead of going to a spa, where people do stuff to you, you have an active role and it gives value to the work that comes with it.”

Istanbul There are many ways to experience Istanbul. What originated as the ancient Greek city of Byzantium in 667 BC today stands as the 19 th largest city in the world, a hodgepodge megalopolis of worlds old and new, of transcontinental cultures (the beautiful Bosphorus strait divides the city’s Asian and European territories—it’s the only major city in the world that’s situated on two continents), with a heavy dose of Western influence. You can focus your trip on the relics and what remains of an ancient world, or you can delve into the cafes, museums, restaurants, and nightlife of a cosmopolitan lifestyle. You can rough it in hostels or go luxe at the Edition Hotel or La Capra Suite. But we believe the best way to experience the city as the true cultural mecca that it is is during Istancool, a week-long celebration of innovation and intelligence helmed by creative director Pablo Ganguli of the international arts

and diplomacy organization Liberatum and Demet Muftuoglu, art director of leading Turkish fashion house Vakko and founder of Istanbul’74. Each year, Istancool brings to Turkey some of the world’s leading creative minds to host free, open-to-the-public lectures, workshops, and round-table conversations. This year featured luminaries such as Tilda Swinton, Kirsten Dunst, director Terry Gilliam, rock icons Michael Stipe and Courtney Love, the designer Haider Ackermann, and artists Sophie Calle, Sam Taylor-Wood, Ryan McGinley, and Dan Colen. The events and dialogues take place in some of the city’s most storied and gorgeous locations, and is a rare reminder of the global power and importance of expression and discourse. If you’re going to experience what Istanbul has to offer the world, you should time your trip to coincide with the festival, and simultaneously experience what the world has to offer itself.

TULUM

The Mexican coastal town of Tulum, formerly a sleepy

sandy village for yogis and those on spiritual retreats, has done what many coastal villages fail to do: boom with tourism while retaining an off-the-beaten track feel.

That’s why the hip and beautiful young people, like Behati Prinsloo and her crew, find it such an inspirational place.

As the full-time model-turned-part-time photographer documents here, all forms of relaxation are available: bike rides, city strolls, and, of course, long dips in the warm Pacific surf. Getting there takes time, but is fairly simple: fly into Cancun, rent a car, and drive south for a few hours. Our favorite haunts? The charming hotel Coqie Coqie, run by the handsome Nicolas Malleville, and Posada Margarita, a beach-side Italian eatery that has the freshest fish.

JACK DONOGHUE’S

KIEV

It was a wild weekend in Kiev for Jack Donoghue and a group of friends that included artists Cyprien Gaillard, Olympia Scarry, and Scott Campbell, architect Rafael de Cardenas, and art agent Jen Brill. All had descended on the Ukranian capital for an arts weekend organized

by Oksana Hunt, the proprietor of the town’s chicest retailer, Sanahunt, which was showcasing a Visionaire retrospective. Donoghue’s highlight? Swimming against the current to a buoy in the middle of the Dnieper River, arriving so exhausted they couldn’t help but look up and admire the river and bridges dotting the horizon.

Jack and Co. also hit up the markets, the old cathedrals, and the President’s house, which is a building covered in animal shapes, built in the early 20 th century by the architect Gorodetski. Culturally speaking, however, the most memorable moment was Olafur Eliasson’s exhibit at the PinchukArtCentre, which the artist himself was there to open.

ike everything else about Larry Schiller, writing a piece on him is a bit overwhelming. When I first met and wrote about him, some fifteen years ago—after spending endless hours on the phone listening to, negotiating with, and getting exasperated and harangued by him—I desperately needed a Schiller break. I turned off the computer, turned on the television, and tuned into one of those nostalgia sports channels. They were showing the third and final Ali-Frazier fight, the so-called Thrilla In Manila of 1975, and damn it, there at ringside, one camera around his neck and another up to his eyeball, looking younger and thinner, but no less intent or intense, was Schiller!

There simply was no escaping him. There still isn’t. And who would want to? Larry is simply one of the most fascinating people I have ever met, along with one of the nicest. And certainly among the most ubiquitous.

Ubiquitous—it’s not a word Larry would ever use himself, and if he did, he’d probably mispronounce it. Dyslexia, he’d explain. I don’t know what the DSM says about dyslexia, but it has had an extraordinary effect on Larry. It has helped make him more resourceful in more realms—photographer, filmmaker, literary packager, art collector, all-around operator—than almost anyone you’ll ever meet. And it’s also made him more accessible and less arrogant than any one of his achievements gives him the right to be.

Larry’s not naturally a man of words—though he’s sort of willed himself into being one—but of ideas: an unending sequence of them, canny, ingenious, sometimes disastrous, but more often lucrative. They’ve kept him financially afloat, through marriages and children, through good times and bad. And they’re so abundant that

he can afford to bestow them on others. He’s one of the most generous people I’ve ever met. His instincts are amazing. Larry’s no trained art historian, for instance, but he was onto Chinese art long before most people in the West. I know, because I’ve ridden in the Bentley he bought by selling off one of the many pieces he acquired very early on.

But back to that ubiquity: there’s the Larry Schiller who, only ten years after getting his first camera (an East German Exakta) at his bar mitzvah, was photographing Marilyn Monroe. And the Larry Schiller who managed to get to Dallas quickly enough after the assassination of John F. Kennedy to take some of the finest photographs of Lee Harvey Oswald on his perp walk—and an amazing photograph of a Dallas police detective holding up the murder weapon for the world to see, but from the rear—that is, the angle no one else ever thought of, the one showing hundreds of other photographers taking the less interesting picture of Oswald’s rifle from the other side.

Then there’s the Larry Schiller of the O.J. Simpson trial. That’s where I met him and, like most of those encountering Larry for the first time, duly underestimated him. He cut a somewhat ridiculous figure: a portly man walking up and down the halls outside Judge Ito’s courtroom, smiling his enigmatic, shit-eating smile, popping peanut M&M’s into his mouth at a record-breaking clip. He was up to something, but what it was wasn’t quite clear. It had something to do with the defense, since he hung around that corner of the courtroom, but O.J.’s lawyers didn’t really seem to know what to make of him either.

They were careful, however, to keep him in their tent, and that was smart. For Larry, it turned out, was paying their legal fees. It was he who’d come up with the idea of turning the letters Simpson was receiving in prison and his responses to them into

a best-selling book, I Want To Tell You. And Larry who sold the rights to that book for some outlandish sum. O.J., who had only $200,000 in cash in his bank account, grossed $1.25 million off that book; Larry got twenty percent, and the rest went to the “Dream Team.”

My mistake was not taking Larry seriously enough: he knew, before anyone, that the Simpson defense was about to turn the racist rants of detective Mark Fuhrman into a major part of its case. Schiller had that inside knowledge, and with that and much more, later wrote one of the definitive (and New York Times best-selling) books on the case, American Tragedy. There followed inside accounts of other celebrated and tawdry tales, like Perfect Murder, Perfect Town, Schiller’s (also best-selling) account of the JonBenet Ramsey killing, a story he landed in part by befriending prosecutors and cops who were otherwise at war with each another. (Larry gets along with just about everyone.)

Pick a famous name—Buster Keaton, Phil Spector, Paul Newman, Charles Manson, Ken Kesey, James Earl Jones, Jack Lemmon, Clint Eastwood, Bobby Kennedy, Yuri Andropov (“I can never trust you, Mr. Schiller, but I’m willing to gamble on you,” the head of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union told Larry when he sought permission to make a six-hour biopic on Peter the Great): Larry has known, or collaborated with, or wrangled with, or infuriated, or traveled with them all. And photographed them, too. Larry photographed, designed, and directed the still montages of Paul Newman and Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and of Diana Ross in the inspired title sequence of Lady Sings the Blues.

In a lifetime of extraordinary chapters, though, it is surely the Schiller–Norman Mailer collaboration that is the most remarkable. It is hard to imagine a more incongruous

couple: the one swarthy and literate and abrasive, the other portly—I’ve used the word already, but it’s the politest I know—and ultimately sweet and largely unread. (I recently asked Larry if he’d ever read Mailer’s first masterpiece, The Naked and the Dead, and he admitted he had not. “Why should I have read Mailer when I had the experience of a lifetime with him?” he asked. Made sense to me.)

They met in 1973, when collaborating on a book about Marilyn Monroe. But the relationship peaked in the unlikely town of Draper, Utah. It was Larry who recognized that the story of Gary Gilmore, the charismatic drifter and killer who became the first American to be executed by the criminal justice system in many years, was a natural for literature and the movies. So Larry reported the story, deeply, compulsively. Then, in what surely constituted one of the greatest breaks in the career of any writer, he brought all his material to Mailer, dumped it on his desk, and told him he should turn it into a book. The result was The Executioner’s Song. It won Mailer a Pulitzer Prize. And, in Larry’s classic self-effacing style, the name “Schiller” isn’t even on the jacket. (True, he’s a central character in the book and the movie. But the actor playing him was a bore who utterly failed to capture what Larry acknowledges is his “inner Fuller Brush salesman.”)

Now Larry is extending Mailer perhaps his greatest service, by turning Mailer’s home in Provincetown, Massachusetts, into a writer’s colony and using funds earned from his often ingenious re-releases and repackagings of his own and Mailer’s works to fund a variety of prestigious literary programs, awards, and scholarships. While Mailer was a notorious lover, it’s hard to imagine him actually loving anyone. But I’m sure that in his own brilliant and abrasive way, Mailer profoundly loved Larry Schiller.

I’m neither brilliant nor abrasive, but I know I love him, too.

that same suburban house, in the same room he moved into when he was 11. “It was really helpful that all of us were going through the same thing at the same time,” he continues. “I think if we didn’t have that sort of relationship it would’ve been tough. It would’ve felt pretty lonely.

Because when you’re filming—for these Breaking Dawn movies, we were filming for seven months—and if you’re there alone the whole time, even with the cast members, like on a day off, or on the weekends, you’d go nuts.”

But it’s not just the filming schedule and promotion tours that have robbed Lautner’s adolescence, it’s the Twihards who make an organic life, or merely walking around the streets of New York below us, practically impossible. “There are times when you really don’t care about anything [anymore], and you go and do it: you’ll walk around New York City. And it’s crazy, and then you come back and you’re like, All right, well that was fun. I’m going to take two weeks of not doing that again.”

Perhaps the most isolating aspect of this social quarantine is that these fanatical hoards are obsessing not over the actors, but the characters they portray. Even Lautner admits this. “It’s definitely these characters we’re playing. They are in love with Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and Jacob Black. I mean, they feel like they know them.

We’re just lucky enough to be playing them, [but] I definitely think it’s the characters.” So right off the bat, all the adulation Lautner’s received since he was 16 wasn’t for him, but for the projection of a fictional werewolf.

But Lautner does have a passion for film and the industry, inside and out. And he’s beginning, wisely, to use his own commodity to pursue passion projects.

Abduction is the creation of his production company, Quick Six, which he runs with his father. They brought the package (script plus Lautner) to the marketplace, and were instrumental in the hiring of John Singleton (yes, Boyz n the Hood John Singleton) as director. The film will undoubtedly cement Lautner as a powerhouse in the industry, and secure his success in a post-Twilight world, confirming for his fans and the business of celebrity that he’s not Jacob Black but a genuine movie star.

As Lautner finally exits his Twilight years, it’s not just his own films he’ll be free to develop, but his identity and sense of self, that thing he’s sold for millions. Throughout the rest of our conversation, he tells me more and more stories I’ve already read, things my research has already told me. But when I push him, repeatedly asking who he is, what he does when he’s not working, he offers a heartbreaking breakthrough: “If I’m not filming, I’m promoting, and if it wasn’t [Twilight], it was a different movie, so it got really busy. But yeah, no, I, you know, I hang out with my friends, family, and kind of just—I don’t even know. It’s, like, when I’m not filming, it seems like—I don’t even know what I do.”

The young painTer sTars in This fall’s Shark Night 3D gore-fesT galore Hometown?

Warren, Ohio Birthday?

May 5, 1985 Where do you live now?

Los Angeles Who are some of the iconic, archetypical men, nonactors, that you admire?

I really admire the old great painters from all eras. They worked on their craft happily and humbly their entire lives and didn’t get the attention for it until after they were gone. You must admire artists that don’t require attention all of the time.

Outside of acting, what are you passionate about?

What activities inform your identity?

I really love painting. It kind of gives you a look inside the mind, and what’s going on in the mind of whoever

painted the piece. People are usually dumbfounded when they look at a piece I’ve finished. Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Do you have a style icon?

I love style. To be honest, my style changes a lot with my mood, and styles that I see out and about. I love Johnny Depp’s style. He hasn’t changed it much through the years because he doesn’t have to. It’s timeless. cHrIs zYLkA WeArs TANk ARMANI EXCHANGE JeANs GUESS BrIeFs CALVIN KLEIN UNDERWEAR

New York City Birthday?

May 2, 1986 Where do you live now?

The Flower District, NYC Outside of acting, what are you passionate about?

When I am not working as an actor, I often make objects.

I have a studio in New York where I work on them and I am passionate about this.

Who are some of the iconic, archetypical men that you admire?

I admire and have been thinking about professional athletes, and I’m interested in the idea of an actor as athlete. Both jobs are physical, but more importantly, actors and athletes sometimes occupy the same space

in culture. I heard once that Warren Beatty had tried for a long time to convince Muhammad Ali to work on films; this makes sense to me.

How do you define success?

Success is a suburb of Perth.

Favorite Quote?

Here’s a quote: “It came from a Greek-owned tanker flying a Panamanian flag and leased by the London branch of a Swiss trading corporation whose fiscal headquarters are in the Netherlands.” It’s about a toxic sludge dump in Cote d’Ivoire.

Los Angeles Birthday?

January 19, 1992 Where do you live now?

Los Angeles What made you decide that you wanted to be an actor?

I don’t know, really. I just kind of did it. It was a blind leap of faith; I just went for it. A big “fuck it” moment, so to speak.

What makes a man?

Besides certain anatomical features and hormones? I’d say a man is someone who is honest, strong-minded, moral, genuine, just a good human being.

What activities inform your identity?

I love watching movies; I’m a total cinephile. I love learning about anything that goes into filmmaking, whether it be cinematography, editing, anything. Outside of that, I’m very passionate about music—anything from movie compositions or classical pieces to rock and pop. I love to play music. I love to listen to music. I just love music.

What’s your ideal role?

My ideal role would be the lead in a film with a director that I really appreciate and admire, someone like Paul Thomas Anderson or the Coen brothers, any of the iconic filmmakers of today.

Los Angeles How do you define success?

To quote Tom Wolfe: “You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments, and publicity.”

How do you relate to the character you’ve most recently portrayed?

My most recent character is Andy from Contraband, which I just shot. Andy wants so desperately to fit in with

a world he knows nothing about and does not belong in.

Kind of like me with the kids from fourth grade.

Favorite quote?

Larchmont, Los Angeles “We should all do what, in the long run, gives us joy, What made you decide you could be an actor? even if it is only picking grapes or sorting the laundry.”

Family, friends, professional relationships—support is –E.B. White. what made me decide I could be an actor. It took a tremendous amount of patience, love, and support from

many people along the way. And then part of me feels like I have no choice. And I won’t and can’t explain that.

Melbourne, Australia Birthday?

January 13, 1990 Where do you live now?

Los Angeles What made you decide you wanted to be an actor?

My two older brothers are actors. I think being the younger brother, I always looked up to them and when I saw them doing it, it made me want to do it too.

How do you relate to the character you’ve most recently portrayed?

I most recently played a guy called Gale in The Hunger Games. He is extremely passionate about standing up for what he believes in, which has always been a strong part of my life. He has moments in the film where he is ready to explode with anger because of the way things

are. But because of the consequences of standing up to an evil government, he has to bite his lip and live with it. I’ve definitely had times in my life where I’ve had to hold back what I really want to say or do.

Who are some of the iconic, archetypical men, nonactors, that you admire?

Kelly Slater. He has won ten world surfing titles. That’s definitely something to admire!

Outside of acting, what are you passionate about?

I’ve always loved surfing. When I was in school that was pretty much all that mattered in my life. Most of my friends surfed so we would go before school, after school, literally whenever we could.

Boston, Massachusetts Birthday?

July 27, 1984 Where do you live now?

Los Angeles What made you decide you wanted to be an actor?

I’ve been performing since I was 6 years old. Whether it was tap dance, ballet, jazz, musical theater, or plays. Acting and dancing are so closely tied together, they’re expressing emotion whether through movement or speech. I always knew it was what I wanted to do with my life.

How do you relate to the character you’ve most recently portrayed?

Personally I relate to Ren mostly because of his passion to fight for what he believes in. Growing up in the Boston area, kids were reluctant to accept that a boy danced. At times I thought about quitting because of getting made fun of. But once I got into the studio or onto the stage I

didn’t care about any of that. I forgot they didn’t think it was cool because I loved it so much. So in that sense, I relate to fighting and sticking to what you believe in.

What makes a man?

I think confidence makes a man. When you see Mick Jagger walk into a room you’re like, That’s a man, or when Michael Jordan walks into a room. Mick’s swagger makes a man.

What would appeal to you about being deemed a heartthrob or a young icon?

Being a heartthrob reminds me of New Kids on the Block, but to be successful in this business would be such an honor. To perform for a living is a dream come true, so if I get the chance to continue to make films, and being called a heartthrob is part of that, then I’m down!

Allentown, Pennsylvania Birthday?

Feb. 6, 1987 Where do you live now?

Los Angeles What would appeal to you about being deemed a heartthrob or young icon?

Look, I think that one of the things that is great about the business today is that there are so many great opportunities for young actors. What is important to me is to continue to work on projects that are challenging and that I am passionate about. If being a heartthrob is what comes of that, then awesome. James Dean is one of the most iconic actors of all time, but he would never have achieved that if he wasn’t a highly skilled actor who did

great work in movies. At the end of the day the work is what I’m addicted to. The fans are just a really flattering and humbling side effect.

How would you describe your style? Do you have a style icon?

I think I’m a good mix of classic and modern. I like my clothes to fit well, and I like to keep it very simple. Also, at least half my wardrobe is just costumes I’ve kept from jobs. I don’t really have a style icon but I think Daniel Day-Lewis always rocks it out on the red carpet.

What makes a man?

A cock and balls should do it.

What would appeal to you about being deemed a heartthrob or a young icon?

Money, cash, hos.
