What is it about Gucci that resonates with you? 

I resonate with the ideas it represents. The celebration of passion, adventure, art and spontaneity.

&nbsp;

It has been&nbsp;a number of years since you shot your first Gucci Guilty campaign. Tell us more about your working relationship with Alessandro Michele. 

We&rsquo;re both very creative people and felt pretty comfortable with each other very quickly. The thing about Alessandro is that he lacks any pretence &mdash; he&rsquo;s humble, grateful, and kind &mdash; as well as confident and bold. It&rsquo;s easy to like him. We have a lot of fun when we are together.

&nbsp;

Do you have a scent profile that you particularly favour?

The scent of campfire is my favorite scent memory. Scent is a really powerful source of recall and emotion, so it tends to depend on how I&rsquo;m feeling.

&nbsp;

On what occasion does one wear the Gucci Guilty fragrance? 

Anytime one feels like indulging, taking risks and going against the grain.

How did you translate the perfume&rsquo;s bold persona into the character you portray for Gucci Guilty? 

I like to take risks, I like to break rules; that&rsquo;s interesting to me, it&rsquo;s exciting. I like to allow myself to indulge a bit whether it&rsquo;s food or climbing mountains. I think we should all do the things that make us feel good. We have limited time and we shouldn&rsquo;t take it for granted.

&nbsp;

You are an actor and the lead vocalist of your band Thirty Seconds To The Mars. Of the two, which do you identify with more and why?

I am able to be creative in different ways with both of those outlets which I am grateful for. I think music is very personal and gives you such a different experience especially when you are on tour.

&nbsp;

What are some of the exciting projects that your fans can look forward to this year? 

A movie I made called The Little Things was just released on HBO Max. I am shooting a few projects for the majority of the year this year including the Gucci movie and Tron 3.
