Just now he seems to be in the role of the charismatic fashion designer in "Becoming Karl Lagerfeld". But actor Daniel Brühl would rather talk about Swedish director Ruben Östlund.

The German superstar Daniel Brühl doesn't hold back on superlatives when talking about the Swedish director and the upcoming collaboration on the film "The entertainment system is down".

In "Becoming Karl Lagerfeld" he plays the title role as the German-French fashion creator. Himself, Brühl has become increasingly interested in fashion as he has grown older.

When Daniel Brühl was young, he saw Karl Lagerfeld in various talk shows and was amazed at how quick-witted he was.

In recent years, numerous TV series about famous designers have been made. Why just now?

The filming of Ruben Östlund's film "The entertainment system is down" begins in 2025. But for Brühl, the work has already started.

Daniel Brühl is very surprised that Ruben Östlund is so open about what his films are about, considering how secretive the film industry is.

While waiting for the filming of "The entertainment system is down" to start, Daniel Brühl is preparing to direct a new film after his debut film "Nebenan".

Age: 45 years.

Family: Wife Felicitas Rombold.

Lives: In Germany.

Occupation: Actor, director.

Past films in selection: "Lavendelflickorna", "John Rabe", "The Bourne ultimatum", "Inglorious basterds", "Rush", "Goodbye Lenin", "A most wanted man", "Bränd", "Ensam i Berlin", "Captain America: civil war", "The falcon and the winter soldier", "På västfronten intet nytt".

Currently in: "Becoming Karl Lagerfeld" (streaming on Disney+).
