Paris or New York? Both. Being raised in Paris, I dream of New York, but if I had been raised in New York, I would dream of Paris. - Gaspard Ulliel

I am very thankful to the dog. All of the directors love this scar.

I wasn’t directly connected to Marty. It’s the Chanel people who phoned me saying they were interested in working with me on a campaign. We had a lot of discussions about it. At the time, they hadn’t chosen a director. One day, they came to me with the idea of asking Martin Scorsese and of course I said, ‘That’s a great idea. I would be the happiest man in the world to work with him.” So that’s how we ended up working together. I pinched myself on the set every day—“Yup. I’m not dreaming.” [Laughs] It was really great because Chanel gave Marty and me total freedom. He works so precisely and you can see that his team loves him so much that they work really hard. Marty knows exactly what he wants, how he’s going to get what he wants, and knows when he has it. This shoot only lasted 4 to 5 days.

Chanel is the greatest fashion house in France, but I was hesitant when they first asked me. I thought it could be risky for me to do a fashion campaign. I'm not like Brad Pitt or Gerard Depardieu, who already have established themselves as actors - I'm just starting. I didn't want to be known as a Chanel model, over an actor, but I told myself it was the perfect project. Chanel is classy and highly respected. I like being associated with a fragrance more than I think I would with clothes, it's more abstract you know?
