THANK YOU THANK YOU Fran, Ivana, Tanja et al!! Thanks for all the translations and effort put into this!! Hours of efforts for we Simon fans!! THANKS
"if you're going to ask the same questions as the last person, I'm walking out". It wasn't clear if he'd been serious or joking, but the interviewer just thought it was charmingly honest and a refreshing change to the usual 'scripted' interviews"" from Ruuger
Interviewing must be so boring and personally imposing. The interviewer mentioned he had regressed to "bloody" etc - horrid to be on best behavior hour after hour with no beer in sight. But then, he now has enough money to ensure his family's future for a generation or three so well compensated for it!
Stella is studying philosophy - very interesting! |

Le Figaro mistook the location as overlooking the Atlantic. Pacific Palisades, where the shoot took place, overlooks the Pacific of course, not far from the beach Simon surfs often. Great article nevertheless. |

Vogue Hombre June 2014 Translation. Nothing new, just if someone wants to know what it said.
WITH A STRONG STYLE
The new essence Gentlemen Only Intense will put intensity on high voltage and steal sighs all around the world.
To define a real gentleman is not an easy matter but, without a doubt, when one of them is found on the way, he is recognizable immediately. For the fragrances of Givenchy there’s no better example than Simon Baker. The Australian actor, star in the film The Devil Wears Prada and the TV series The Mentalist, is also the lead of the advertising campaign of the most recent Givenchy fragrance, Gentlemen Only Intense, more seductive and avant-garde than its predecessor, Gentlemen Only. The ideal and perfect choice for the occasion.
“Being a gentleman is a shared aspiration for the great majority of men” explained Baker to Vogue sitting on the spacious terrace of the Chateau Marmont’s penthouse, with a spectacular view of Los Angeles below. “We are all human; we all have imperfections, but all also can aspire to be a real gentleman. It’s a classic idea, timeless and, although obviously things have changed over the years, I don’t think we are living in a less gentlemanly time. There has always been rivalry and personal and professional challenges, but that is not reason to behave with rudeness or without etiquette”, Baker says. At first, he tells with total sincerity, he had doubts about if he was the suitable person to represent and be the face of an international brand and with so much exclusive prestige as Givenchy.
Baker assures: “The expectations made me nervous, because it’s a high fashion brand, very avant-garde, and I didn’t know if I could satisfy their needs. But later, when they explained to me that it was a fragrance inspired by the legendary Givenchy Gentleman, created by Hubert de Givenchy, I had no doubts. Immediately I wanted to be part of the project”, concludes.
Baker has achieved what sometimes seems more than impossible in Hollywood: to carry forward a successful career as an actor and director and, at the same time, to keep a solid and stable family life with his partner for the last 22 years, the beautiful actress Rebecca Rigg and their three children: Stella Breeze, Claude Blue and Harry Friday.
“I don’t think it has been hard to keep the balance between both things, but I don’t think either it’s easy for anyone. I’ve been very lucky, because I met a fantastic woman in every way, we decided to create a family and I knew since the beginning that if there was something that I didn’t want to fail in life, it was my role as a family man. It has always been the most important thing for me”.
This is a lesson that the actor learned early. “I came from a broken home, like my wife, and because of that this aspect of our life is so important for the two of us. In many aspects, it has been what has had influence in my professional decisions. To accept my role in The Mentalist, for example, had to do very much with having two kids in school and I wanted to be in the same place for some time, to support them and be with them the most time possible”.
His career, of course, has been the other fundamental base of his life for the last 15 years. “When I arrived to Hollywood my only ambition was to be able to pay the rent”, he confesses smiling, half serious, half joking. “Now, after the huge success that The Mentalist has got, I’m interested in exploring other fields and grow creatively. I would like to direct and act in films more challenging for me. I want to play. I want to take risks. I want to probe movies, more than entertainment, is a way of art too. This is a very exciting moment in my life”.
