Even though Karl Lagerfeld claims that he isn't an actor, it looks like he has some experience in front of the camera.

In 1973 Lagerfeld starred in a film by his friend Andy Warhol titled L'Amour. The movie is about two American women who travel to Paris to model and search for rich husbands. Lagerfeld plays a wealthy German.

The Chanel creative director recently discussed it in an interview with T Magazinesaying, ‘‘It was the most childish moviemaking ever.’’

Check out the clip above. He is almost unrecognizable without his white hair and sunglasses.
