In quintessentially Burberry style, they host a garden party to showcase their latest men's
collection. While other fashion brands may just put on a standard show, Burberry embraces
nature, opens their roof and lets the sun shine in.
It's so sunny.
You look very sunny.
Are you well?
I've got me summer anorak on.
Now, another Burberry show, why do you continue to support the brand?
I just really love the whole feel of the brand. I really like it.
They support new British artists and music and I think that's very important. I think
the last couple of shows they've done they've had Rhodes supporting who's an amazing new singer/songwriter.
I girl called Rae Morris as well who's done a few things for Burberry. I think they get
it right , they make the fashion accessible because I'm not the biggest fashionista in the world.
And also there's really good festival gear as well.
It's like geography teacher chic.
What have you got planned for Glastonbury? Who are you really excited to be seeing?
I'm excited to see Ray Morris and Rhodes is gonna be there as well. I think the headlines
are great this year, they've got Arcade Fire that I've never seen live but I'm sort of
obsessed with. Kasabian, Metalica are really strong as well but the other stages have got
so much good stuff.
What is your top tip to just survive a holiday camping?
It doesn't matter how dirty you get, because it always washes off in the end. It's true.
I did a weeks camping in Zambia, okay, for Comic Relief and there were smells coming
out of my body and off of my skin that I had never experienced before.
I mean, are you hot in leather?
I'm actually not, this actually quite a cool jacket, considering.
Are you going to Glastonbury?
Hopefully I'll get the chance to go there, yeah. Big fan of British music, big fan of
British acoustic music, big fan of what Ed Sheeran has managed top achieve in the last
year or two and hopefully he's a taste of what's things to come and a reminder to the
world that we have some great singer/songwriters in this country.
What is your top tip to look good on the beach?
Looking good on the beach... Sunglasses? Sun glasses, I think. No-one looks good squinting,
as I'm doing now.
So, what are you wearing today?
Burberry.
What do you think makes everybody love burberry so much because it's one of those brands I've
yet to find anyone who isn't totally in love with it.
I don't know, I mean, from an English point of view, it's quintessentially British. I
myself am a fan of the slimmer-cut thing. It's something that's edgy and also very classic.
Now, summer is coming up, how do you look chic on the beach?
It's all about the shorts, really. It's all about finding the right pair of shorts.
And what's the most daring thing you've done with fashion?
I used to wear very bright colours, and that's about as daring as I got. I was into the neon
colours when I was a teenager.
Those neon raves!
Yeah, those neon clothes were a thing of the past.
And this year, can you please run me through your amazing projects?
Coming out is a film called Pride, later in the year, which is a film about these gay rights
activists in the 1980s who supported the miner's strike and, in turn, the miners came and supported
gay rights groups in 1984.
And who's in that?
Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, Paddy Consdine. It's a really wonderful British cast, there's
loads in there.
Now, I saw Belle. I thought it was just the most amazing film. I really, really, really
enjoyed it. What was it like filming?
Incredible experience. I mean, it was a passion project from the start so it was great to
be able to share stories that are important. And the reactions have been incredible.
So you have The Riot Club coming out. You have probably the best looking cast ever.
Was it just crazy fun when you were filming?
Yeah, we got on so well. I've made some of the best friends in my life on that film,
so yeah, it was incredible.
Who did you spend most of your time with?
Douglas, Freddie, Ben Schnetzer, Sam Claflin. And we made such great friends, really.
Have you had Riot Club meet ups since?
Yeah, we do all the time. Actually, we're supposed to go to Glastonbury together.
Chic on the beach? Don't try to hard.
