VMAN collaborates with photographer and Saint Laurent creative director Hedi Slimane for a shoot in its new spring issue. Focusing on young Hollywood, a diverse group of talent sits down to pose for Slimane’s signature black & white portraits.

VMAN interviewed the young talent, delving into subjects, ranging from goals and ambitions to making it in Hollywood.

Jedidiah Goodacre – Are you single? “I am in love with my dog, Zooko. If I could, he would be my plus one everywhere. Since he’s a big Doberman-Rottweiler, he’s not exactly easy to take out. Most nights we dine in.”

Blake Jenner on temptation in Hollywood: “The biggest temptation there is trying to ‘fit in’, you know? Molding yourself into a hybrid version of yourself in order to please others. You’ve got to stick to your guns.”

Antoine-Olivier Pilon on his first acting job: “My first paid job was an advertisement announcing hockey night in Canada.”

Liam Walpole on his toughest job: “Before working on The Goob, I was working in a chicken factory. It was crazy because of the hours. I stood for 12 hours at a time in a really cold room packaging meat.”

Josh Wiggins on his favorite urban legend: “The one with the hanging dog and the creep under the bed always scared the crap out of me when I was little. Is it bad if I say it still does?”

Ben Rosenfield on when he wanted to become an actor: “I was four years old, sitting out on my front stoop pretending to be cold, shivering. My dad walked outside and said, ‘Ben, why don’t you put a jacket on?’ I turned to him and said, ‘I’m acting.'”

Ellar Coltrane on what he found surprising working as an actor: “Realizing that acting can be such a therapeutic exploration of yourself.”

Evan Bird on his desire to act: “When I was about four I watched Star Wars. My mom explained that it wasn’t real and that it was people pretending. She said you can be anyone you want to be as an actor.”

Will Peltz on the greatest actor: “Meryl Streep. Her ability to completely shed herself and transform into somebody else is unparalleled.”
