Marc Jacobs to make film debut as a 'porn baron' in Disconnect


Marc Jacobs is set to make his movie debut as he takes on a rather racy role in new film Disconnect.

Adding another talent to his endless CV, the American designer will play the role of a sleazy porn baron in the drama-thriller.

We're guessing he got a taste for acting after his stint as Diet Coke's shirtless hunt earlier this year. Although the role's real test comes with his character's questionable wardrobe. Uh oh.

Talking to Entertainment Weekly about his 'bad jeans', Marc Jacobs said, "Nobody would have recognised me at the Dunkin' Donuts in Yonkers…I had these really tacky suburban disco shirts with crucifixes embroidered on them, and the worst fitting dad jeans – I never wear jeans anyway – but these were just bad and acid washed, with flannel zip jackets sewn to the side. And they put big silver rings on my fingers and earrings."

But it seems his acting career has come to an abrupt end already, as he added, "I enjoyed parts of doing it, but you know, it's not ever been my dream to act or anything like that. It's probably the last time I'll ever do it."

Jason Bateman, Alexander Skarsgard and Paula Patton also star in the new film. Watch the trailer for Disconnect below…
