I once tried to bring a stray dog home from Milan… but this is the boy I found that day. Francesco Castellini Versace casting, Milan I spotted him on the street and completely flipped. He looked like a young, slightly awkward Tom Cruise — straight out of an old Italian film. No English. No Italian on my end. He was genuinely confused why anyone would want his picture. Those were always the ones I loved most — completely unaware of their beauty. A week later he was on set, holding his own with the biggest models in the world. He was 15, which, in those years, wasn’t unusual. Different moment. But what stayed with me wasn’t that. It was the dog Bruce photographed him with… and how hard we tried to get it back to the States for me. We couldn’t. And I’ve never quite forgotten piccolo cane. | Jennifer Starr Casting
