Every single time Andrew Scott has a big event coming up, he does one thing without fail. “I just whack on a load of moisturiser , because you don't want to come off as exhausted when you have to go to these things,” he says over Zoom. “No matter what type of moisturiser it is, just put as much of it on as you can.
It'll keep your skin alive.” And if there's one event to do that for, it's the Emmys, where he just missed out on the ‘Outstanding Lead Actor’ gong for his role in Ripley . But before the event itself, Scott sounds a little.
.. tired? “I just got here last night,” he says from his hotel room in Los Angeles .
“I'm literally only here for 24 hours, and then I have to do a film, a World War II film.” But even though the Irish actor's on two different timezones, there's still energy to be enjoyed. This is the Emmys, after all.
And he's wearing something truly sick. “It's Vivienne Westwood , which I'm very excited about. I absolutely adore Vivienne Westwood, and I think it's kind of rare that you get to wear Westwood menswear," he says.
“And I just had a really good time collaborating with the team. They're really fun, great people to work with.” The chocolate brown suit is amped up by fanged-out lapels that extend way past his shoulders.
His shirt , in black, is fitted with a flurry of dramatic ruffles across the front. “It's a bit rock and roll, it's a bit punk, but it's still very, very beautiful.” Which is what Vivienne Westwood is all a.
