Karl Lagerfeld stars in upcoming Volkswagen commercial?

Did you know that Karl Lagerfeld is an avid photographer on his free time? Oh, and did you now on his free time he is now also a film maker? Well, apparently Lagerfeld found himself on the other side of the camera recently.

Last week, Lagerfeld flew to Berlin to “star” in a Volkwagen commercial which is slated to run for the first quarter of next year. Matthias Becker, Volkswagen’s marketing director for Germany, said Lagerfeld took to acting like paparazzi to Paris Hilton. Becker was coy about the plot, not wanting to spoil the irony at the crux of the jokes, but said Lagerfeld plays himself, photographing the cars and musing aloud.

“It’s a mix between coolness and iconic style, like Karl himself,” he said. Nothing like a little paparazzi to make some money? Pa-pa, pa-parazzi.
