Daniel Brühl on ‘Electrifying’ Experience Playing Fashion Icon Karl Lagerfeld in Disney+’s ‘Becoming Karl:’ ‘It Was Like a Rollercoaster’
Fifteen years after "Inglorious Basterds," Daniel Brühl is back on the Croisette, this time for Canneseries where 'Becoming Karl' is premiering.
Fifteen years after “Inglorious Basterds,” Daniel Brühl is back on the Croisette, this time on the pink carpet at Canneseries, for the world premiere of “Becoming Karl,” a prestige Disney+ mini-series which offered him one of his biggest acting challenges to date. To play Lagerfeld, Brühl not only perfected his French and learned to speak and walk with small heels like the late fashion icon, he also pulled from his own life experience as a perpetual foreigner, being both German and Spanish. The lushly lensed series opens in 1972, as 38-year-old Karl Lagerfeld aspires to become the most famous French fashion designer, at a time when Yves Saint Laurent reigned supreme.
