Charlie Plummer on Playing a ‘Hopeless Romantic’

FOREVER IN LOVE: Charlie Plummer didn’t need much preparation to play the lead character in the Hulu series “Looking for Alaska.”
“It’s very easy for me to play someone who is a hopeless romantic and always in love with somebody,” laughed the 20-year-old actor, sitting front row at the Berluti show on Friday.
In this new adaptation of John Green’s novel, Plummer is Miles, a somewhat lost teenager who meets and falls head over heels for the reckless Alaska, played by actress Kristine Froseth.
“It was so much fun preparing for the role because I was a huge fan of the book growing up,” said the actor, who will start filming his next project, a western, next month. “I got to reread it and meet with John Green. That whole experience of preparing it was such a fun time.”
Plummer was sitting next to French actress Isabelle Adjani, whose 1983 hit song “Le Petit Pull Marine” was used as a soundtrack for the Berluti show. Also attending were Antoine and Delphine Arnault; Kailand Morris; Woodkid; Quavo and Takeoff of Migos, and hip-hop artist Tyga, who was wearing a slick purple suit.
