Joel Schumacher Reflects on Halston and His Time in Fashion (Vulture)
In a sweeping new interview, director Joel Schumacher dishes about his years in the fashion industry, including doing drugs with his good friend Halston. “Everything was so glamorous about him. He maintained his beautiful image all the time,” he says. “We would all be on acid, and Halston would sit like a gentleman, on the same drugs that we were on, but he never lost Halston.” Schumacher went on to explain how Halston loaned him samples when he was doing the costumes for Play It As It Lays. He also thinks Ewen McGreggor has been miscast in an upcoming film about the designer’s life. “With all great respect for Ewan, but he doesn’t look anything like Halston. Armie Hammer should have played Halston. He’s perfect.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Schumacher gets candid about the actors he’s worked with — including how Julia Roberts was overwhelmed by fame and how Tommy Lee Jones was an “asshole.” He also discusses his long friendship with Woody Allen. It’s a definite must-read.
