The face-to-face
Ordinary life scene in New York? It's almost that. On the weekend of April 22 and 23, director Martin Scorsese, 80, and French-American actor Timothée Chalamet, 27, were filming an advertisement for a large blue perfume in the metro. Between two takes, they landed in a train for an intergenerational conversation of which nothing has filtered, but undoubtedly fascinating, judging by the absorbed mine of Timothée Chalamet.
food for thought
That day, Timothée Chalamet, in line with his usual stylistic explorations, wore a black leather suit that obviously raised questions. Should we remember that black male suits are traditionally reserved for funerals and nocturnal social events or on the contrary lay down our arms considering that its material allows this suit to escape all the main principles of classical elegance? Option 1, let's not give up.
Protected area
Since we are not giving up, note also, in passing, that the actor had tucked his pants into his boots. As daring as it is dubious from a purely formal point of view, this gimmick at least allows us to raise a point of military culture. Indeed, men exploring in the jungle have always had the habit of jamming their pants precisely into their high boots in order to prevent snakes from climbing up their legs by entering the bottom of the pants. Was it helpful here?
Heavy on the wrist
Sitting in front of the movie star, the cult director also displayed some fantasies. In addition to the leather tote bag stuck between his hands and the running shoes of the Hoka brand laced to his feet, it should be noted that Martin Scorsese wore a veritable horological monument on his left wrist. In this case, the Rolex Submariner, presented in 1953 at the Swiss Watch Fair, was first designed for diving and renowned for its water resistance. In fact, it went down in history as the very first wristwatch that was water resistant to 100 meters.
The extraordinary seat
How can we fail to note, finally, that Martin Scorsese was sitting that day on an extremely ordinary and yet very surprising white armchair? In fact, American directors are generally used to sitting on a very specific director's chair model. In this case, it is the director's chair in beech and canvas from the firm Gold Medal which is unanimous in the industry: inspired by the curule seat on which the Roman magistrates sat, it was marketed for the whole first time in 1982.
