Fashion Designers as Actors

Tom Ford Spoofs 'In Treatment'

Fashion designer Tom Ford flaunts his acting skills and shows us a rare side of his personality in this spoof of HBO's “In Treatment,” a parody created for the recent Council of Fashion Designers of America awards.

In the clip, Ford plays a character on the show that confesses his love to his therapist. We see Ford sobbing miserably when he finds out the feeling is not mutual.

You know, Ford's acting ain't that bad. Actually, its' better than many of Hollywood's movie stars. With some practice, he can have something to fall back on if his fashion career goes down.

Besides acting, Ford has recently dabbled into modeling as well. Very versatile indeed:
