Dolce & Gabbana Take The Silver Screen!

This is cool!

Dolce & Gabbana designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana make a small cameo in Rob Marshall's buzz movie Nine. The pair play a pair of actors on break from playing priests in a film within the film. Whew!

This isn't the first time the designing duo has made an appearance on the silver screen: the two made another small appearance in Giuseppe Tornatore's L'Uomo delle Stelle, playing bus passengers.

The duo sat down with WWD to discuss their time on film, check out some highlights:

WWD: Do you have a film career in your future? Are you going to do more?
S.G.: Many people ask us to do little parts in movies, and it depends on the time. Domenico is not so comfortable because he’s really shy, but I love it. My dream when I was young was to become a movie actor. I never studied acting, but I did a TV program five years ago. I was a guest many times on TV, and I have my program on the radio [for the popular Radio DJ Italia]. And I do many advertisements on TV: for cars, for ice cream [Cornetto Algida]. The last three years, I’ve made three commercials for [car company] Lancia.

WWD: So you already have a dual career.
S.G.: No, no. My career is fashion designer. If you want to make something really well, you need to spend a lot of time. I don’t have a lot of time to make movies or act. I would love [to], but it depends. Maybe a famous movie director [will] offer me a really big part. You never know.

We kind of like them taking the smaller parts. Who doesn't love a good cameo?

Keep your eyes peeled for them in Nine, opening in select cities on Friday and nationwide on Christmas day!
