Halston's Gian Franco Rodriguez opened up to ET on playing Victor Hugo.
, it’s hard not to take notice when Victor Hugo plays a key role in it. As the designer’s boisterous partner and Andy Warhol model, Gian Franco Rodriguez manages to steal every scene he’s in, even those opposite McGregor.
But when he and his manager arrived for the audition, they noticed that the casting team was looking for a Venezuelan actor to play the part of Victor Hugo. When asked if he could read for that as well, Rodriguez ended up being the first person they saw for the part. Of course, having McGregor as a scene partner didn’t hurt either. “I really admire him as an actor, but also he’s such an amazing person,” Rodriguez says, adding that the“From the get-go, I think we both knew we were going to be doing a lot of things together,” he continues, noting that most of Hugo’s scenes are with Halston since he represents “his private life, intimacy and all that.” So it was important for the two to build that chemistry and trust right away.
With the help of an intimacy coordinator and Minahan’s vision for the characters, filming those moments was like putting a puzzle together. “I felt like just every piece fell into place,” Rodriguez says, explaining how Halston and Hugo’s dynamic worked. “I knew that I wanted to be more dominant because I wanted to be able to show that this is why their relationship was a little addictive.”
