Does Marc Jacobs Want to be a Hipster?

Here’s all you need to know from MJ’s interview entitled “Marc Jacobs Doesn’t Give a F—” that will appear in the new GQ magazine:

-He is starting to look like Jeff Goldblum circa The Fly

“Large, dark, worried eyes weirdly belied by a dome physique”

-He loves the gym because he gets bossed around

“My trainer says, ‘You’re gonna lift this; you’re gonna do that ten times.’ Okay, great—just tell me what to do and I’ll do it. It’s the same thing with my nutritionist. All I have to do is follow instructions. I love that. This is not about ‘Would it be better in red or blue?’ There isn’t a lot of abstract, circular thinking involved. And it’s great. Those times are really nice for me.”

-New Marc would beat the shit out of Old Marc-and his trainer Easy agrees

“The fat guy that I kicked?” says Jacobs.

“The fat guy that we’d beat up if we saw him on the street,” Easy laughs.

“The soft, blubbery Marc Jacobs,” says Marc Jacobs.

-Robert Duffy’s pretty sure he’s going to relapse…again

“There have been many times in the course of our relationship that he’s been clean and sober—it’s not my first time around the block with that, with him.”

-He has insanely low self-esteem stemming from not being picked for the baseball team at sleepaway camp

“When I went to sleepaway camp, I just kind of wanted to sit there and make an ashtray or do a lanyard necklace or paint my jeans,” he says. “And then to stand there and not be chosen for a baseball team—it’s like, force me to do something and then don’t choose me to do it.”

-He has stupid tattoos, he knows it and really doesn’t care….

“The images just struck him in the moment. He couldn’t care less about the disfiguring permanence. When people say, “What about when you’re 80?”—as in, how’s that couch gonna look then?—he says, “I don’t know if I’m even going to get to be 80. And who would want to see me at 80, anyway? But maybe somebody will—and maybe they’ll be tattooed, too.”

-He’s vapid and proud of it.

“It’s like saying, ‘I want to look hot.’ That is such a dumb thing to say, but what’s so cool about it is that you can say it. Yeah, I want a bunch of muscle queens at David Barton Gym to think that my body looks dope.”
