Théodore Pellerin talks to Vogue about starring as Jacques de Bascher, Karl Lagerfeld’s longtime partner, in ‘Becoming Karl Lagerfeld’, and as a budding drag performer in Sophie Dupuis’s ‘Solo’.
At the climax of Sophie Dupuis’s new film, Solo, Simon, a young queer man and working drag queen in Montreal, played by an affecting Théodore Pellerin, has just reemerged from a toxic, all-consuming relationship and had a turbulent reunion with his estranged mother. His drag has changed too. When Simon and his dominating boyfriend, Oliver , become a double act, the former finds himself lost in the shadow of the latter.
Drag has become so popular in culture, and that has, I think, made people see queens as this entity that exists in the context of performance, but there’s people behind that, which is what the film puts at its forefront. Yes. The film is not only about drag; it’s a toxic relationship and a family story. The heart of it really lies somewhere else, so my work was also a lot of that. I think that what interested Sophie was bringing these two worlds together.
