00:00tremendous pressure to be a hockey player actually especially like working on those legs which
00:05I'm not gonna let you see because I lost my tree trunks since that I had them
00:10you
00:15Oh, hi Vanity Fair. My name is Francois Arnaud and we're in Paris.
00:20Tonight and we're gonna go to the Saint Laurent show. Come in.
00:25So this is my room. Beautiful hotel room. It's got everything I need. Some chocolate.
00:30There, sleep mask, champagne, whatever else you want. I've never been to...
00:35any sort of fashion show in my whole life. I've seen them on TV and in the press.
00:39Yeah.
00:40I don't know. I don't even know where I'm seated. I don't know anything.
00:43This is my beautiful look for tonight.
00:45I think it's beautiful. Are you telling me?
00:49So my look for...
00:50I think it's very Saint Laurent. Elegant and classic, but also sort of bold.
00:54It's very...
00:55the American gigolo to me. A bit 80s, like retro, futuristic. I love it.
01:00I love all the different patterns. The shirt has a slight pattern. The pants too.
01:04I think I could pull this off.
01:05on a normal day. On a special normal day.
01:09I flew in from LA.
01:10I got in yesterday and I'm leaving tomorrow. I feel pretty cracked out with jet lag.
01:15But I got a three hour nap in today. I cancelled the meeting and I napped. And um...
01:20I feel all the bad for it. But I do need the eye patches.
01:23I brought this...
01:25This book.
01:26That I read about 10 pages of before I passed out.
01:30It had lots of little surprises for me. A little um... I don't even know what...
01:35What that's made of.
01:36Maybe a...
01:37Groundhog?
01:38Yeah.
01:40That is the invitation. And signed by Anthony Vaccarello, who I'm a big fan of.
01:45I think I should frame it and use the groundhog frame somehow. Right?
01:50Like this.
01:55Okay.
01:56So my groomer Charlie is here. And uh... you can follow me to the bathroom. And I'll show
02:00you what I do to get ready for something like this.
02:02Hey Charlie.
02:03How are ya?
02:04Good.
02:05Welcome to Paris.
02:07How are you doing?
02:08Nice to see you.
02:09Nice to see you.
02:10Yeah, I'm great.
02:10How are you doing?
02:11Let's do it.
02:12Not that you need much.
02:13Well...
02:14You're too...
02:15I'm fine.
02:16Okay, so we're just really finishing off. We're just really hydrating the skin. He's
02:19had his eye gel.
02:20Trying to keep it really simple. We don't really use a lot of makeup on him. And we're
02:24just going to finish off his hair.
02:25I've had this my whole life. I've had really dark, dark circles since I was two.
02:30I was very tired, two years old.
02:31Once we came in, I had Simon and Spam.
02:33Same as for him?
02:34Yeah.
02:35Yeah.
02:36Do I need that?
02:37What is it there for?
02:38It just gets rid of the trough.
02:40In the darkness.
02:41Wow.
02:42That seems intense.
02:43So what does this do?
02:44It just tears...
02:45It's the puffiness out of the skin, especially if the boys have been flying around.
02:50Kind of...
02:51What puffiness?
02:52What puffiness do you see?
02:53I've been using red light...
02:55therapy for a few years now.
02:56I did a TV show in the desert and my skin was just wrecked.
03:00from it.
03:01A dermatologist recommended red light therapy before it was like a thing.
03:04So I've been doing it...
03:05I did it before.
03:05For everyone else.
03:06If you stay consistent with it, I find that it really helps with redness.
03:10Redness.
03:11And redness.
03:12I did a half of red.
03:15The success of Heated Rivalry has taken us all by surprise the magnitude of it.
03:20I mean, I always believed in it.
03:21We all were so proud of it.
03:23It's just nice to get...
03:25grateful to react so positively to something that we're so happy and proud to have made.
03:30I believed in the project from the start, but to say that I could foresee the...
03:35magnitude of the reaction, I think it would be cocky.
03:40People seeing emotionally available men.
03:43I think most people find...
03:45I find that quite rare and refreshing.
03:47For my storyline in particular, there's something...
03:50about yearning and an impossible love that I think will impossible...
03:55that turns out to be, you know, not so impossible.
03:57That is appealing.
03:58I think it's both...
04:00realistic enough.
04:01We're committed to the reality of it, but also it's aspirational.
04:04Listen, I...
04:05I think when you do any kind of fiction project, you hope that people can...
04:10connect with it, but to think that it's affected positively...
04:15really...
04:16real-life athletes, it's just so...
04:19heartwarming.
04:20and comforting.
04:21What I love most about Scott is how ready he is.
04:25to live this moment.
04:26And there's something beautiful about his willingness to commit.
04:30to the moment, to someone else.
04:31It's still a work in progress for him.
04:33He's still, like, catching up.
04:35to that readiness.
04:36But I find that really moving.
04:38I actually spent...
04:40most of my summers and Christmases in France as a kid.
04:44And Brittany until I was...
04:45six or seven.
04:46And then my dad has been in the south of France since then.
04:50Do you speak French?
04:51Of course I speak French.
04:52With a name like Francois.
04:53So you want to hear some French?
04:55Yes.
04:56One in a...
04:57in a Kibbekoa accent or in a French accent?
04:58French accent.
04:59French?
05:00Yeah.
05:00D'accord.
05:01Tu veux que je...
05:02Qu'est-ce que tu veux que je te dise?
05:03Oh, it's very nice.
05:04Not a Kibbekoa.
05:05Okay.
05:06Okay.
05:07Okay.
05:08Okay.
05:09Okay.
05:10C'est...
05:11C'est quand même différent, non?
05:12Yeah.
05:13C'est...
05:14C'est quand même différent, non?
05:15Yeah.
05:15C'est quand même si tu veux.
05:16Oh, c'est qui.
05:17Growing up mostly in...
05:18...
05:19...
05:20...
05:20Canada but partly in France. I just always treated the two different acts as almost like two different
05:25languages like two dialects I would click into one or the other people used to make fun of me as a kid in Canada
05:30for coming back to school in September and having a snobby French accent.
05:35And then you know at the start of the summer I would come back to France and people would make fun of me.
05:40For having a kibikwa accent so I just kind of learned to differentiate the two and just like drop in.
05:45Do you want to give us some French charlie?
05:46La dishieronne s'il-vous-plait?
05:47La dishieronne s'il-vous-plait?
05:48D'accord, c'est parfait.
05:49Bien.
05:50You should know how to act. You should let the other person ask that.
05:53That's just a neglected bar.
05:55I think my favorite thing to do in Paris is just walk. You can walk around and you always like...
06:00You don't have to... I don't make any decisions. You just stumble upon incredible looking things.
06:05You just... things magically appear to you. And then when you've walked in on...
06:10My second favorite thing is to eat.
06:12Oui, bonjour. C'est possible d'avoir une salade César au poulet.
06:15S'il-vous-plait, à la chambre.
06:16Merci.
06:17Merci.
06:20It's a pressure to be a hockey player, actually. Especially like working on those legs, which...
06:24I'm not gonna let you...
06:25see because I lost my tree trunks since that I had on the show. What I told Jacob...
06:30When he called me to do the show, I was like, I can't believe you're calling the one Canadian actor who can't...
06:35skate properly. But it turns out he also had called Hudson who couldn't skate properly.
06:40So we... and then a Texan who had never seen ice. We trained...
06:45intensively, but we didn't have that much time. We only had about three weeks before the show...
06:50the shoot started, but we did all the hockey stuff last. So...
06:55we were able to still train throughout.
06:57Oh, God. I ate too much in Paris. These pants are too tight.
06:59I find that acting is just a great way to be yourself, actually.
07:04It's like an outlet to be yourself through someone else.
07:07I think the hardest part...
07:16you
07:09about being an actor is just like how terrifying it is every time you take a
07:14new project on you know to like accept that like fear and embrace it
07:19actually because that's where the thrill comes in and I think we're the best most challenging and
07:24rewarding acting is done okay so now I'm gonna go get dressed and to do that
07:29I have to take this robe off and pen away
07:34so that's the look
07:38I feel like I'm in the main
07:39I know I'm seeing my co-stars Robbie GK and Connor Story
07:44she's so comfortable I don't think I expected to feel this comfortable at a fashion show and I have my
07:49mom and my heart too let's go running let's go
07:54I'm ready for this okay thank you Vinny fair it was a good time
07:59you
08:04you
08:09you
