Marc Jacobs Is Going to Be in a Movie! So We Recast Him In Some of Our Favorite Flicks

Marc Jacobs recently let slip that he'd been cast in a movie. According to Style.com, the designer said, "The [movie is] filming next week and I’m excited. I get to play a character that’s not myself at all.” While we're beyond excited to find out what Jacobs' will be playing, we can't help but fantasize about all the movies Jacobs could have been cast in, now that he's an actor and all. Here we take the chance to re-imagine some of our favorite classics, with Marc as the leading man.

In Somewhere We're just going to go out on a limb here and say this one could maybe, sorta, actually kind of happen. I mean him and Sofia Coppola are best pals right? And he's perfect for playing

In Rambo He's certainly got the guns (of the muscled arms variety) for this role.

In Lord of the Rings You can't deny there's maybe a slight resemblance...

In Pretty in Pink C'mon Marc Jacobs as Duckie in Pretty in Pink would be the most amazing thing to happen in cinema since...well, ever. Plus, he could really help Molly Ringwald's character Andie Walsh with her prom dress.

In Braveheart This one was obvious. Hello, he's already got the wardrobe!

Image Title7

In Good Will Hunting We could totally see a (vintage) Jacobs playing Robin Williams' sympathetic (if dowdy) therapist.

Image Title8

In Twilight New Moon Again, Jacobs' totally has the acting chops (and pecks) to pull off buff werewolf Jacob Black in Twilight New Moon. We're not sure how tween girls would feel about this though...

In Cabaret Now here's a role that, if his

In White Chicks While we're making shit up and all, why not a role as the third sidekick in White Chicks? Sure, there was no such character in the original but...Marc Jacobs in drag would really make an excellent addition to the cast!

Carine Roitfeld Weighs In On Marc Jacobs Going to Dior

It's been a week since Paris Fashion Week ended, and at least that long since we've heard any rumors about a Dior successor. Well, we still don't know a darned thing, but a fashion heavyweight, in the form of Carine Roitfeld, just gave her vote of approval to Marc Jacobs. Vogue UK caught up with Carine at a book signing for Irreverent yesterday, and caught her in a chatty mood. She told the glossy, "He understands the company, how it works and how to work with them. He's been given the shoulders to do the Dior job already. He's never done couture though, so I'd be really excited to see him do couture for Dior. He's a very smart person. If Marc gets the job, I won't miss a single show." (Obviously Dior would become the hottest ticket in town.) And what about if someone else gets the job?
