The king of swag has been laying low for the past little while, but with just one [seductive photo shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-menswear-campaign), he stands to regain his sex icon status. The notoriously grounded rockstar did a full interview for the magazine’s August/September issue where he discussed his interracial upbringing and his studio process. Then Kravitz got personal with the mag, addressing what it’s like to be a single father to daughter Zoe, whom he had with ex Lisa Bonet and now holds a recurring role on hit show Californication. The real and candid nature of the shoot is consistent with the [singer’s down to earth personality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-editions). It’s even noted in the interview that he doesn’t travel with an entourage or security guard, and is cool with everybody he meets in the streets. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Rockstar Revival:** Opportunity for brands to collaborate with iconic rockstars to revive their image and appeal to new audiences. - **Candid Celebrity Interviews:** There is a growing demand for authentic and unfiltered interviews with celebrities, providing an opportunity for media outlets to offer deeper insights into their lives. - **Interracial Upbringing Stories:** The exploration of stories related to individuals with interracial backgrounds presents an opportunity for filmmakers, writers, and content creators to engage with diverse audiences. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Photography:** Fashion photographers can leverage the trend of rockstar revivals to create captivating and visually striking photo shoots for magazines and brands. - **Entertainment Journalism:** The demand for candid celebrity interviews opens up opportunities for entertainment journalists and media outlets to provide exclusive and raw content. - **Film and Television Production:** The exploration of interracial upbringing stories can inspire filmmakers and television producers to create compelling narratives that promote diversity and inclusivity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Singer Home Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/62piece-home-collection.md) - [Iconic Singer-Starring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-and-diana-ross.md) - [Music Magazine Cover NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rolling-stone.md) - [Singer-Led Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pour-homme-and-neighborhood.md) - [Rock Legend Footwear Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lugz-x-ozzy-osbourne.md) - [Celebrity-Backed Luxury Menswear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-menswear-campaign.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Gen Z Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fine-fragrance-collection.md) - [Young Singer-Collaborative Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/landon-barker-and-cheap-monday.md)
