British
actor Jamie Campbell Bower was one of the talented stars of the new
Spring/Summer 2014 Burberry Prorsum images which features several rising faces.
Opening up on starring in the new images, Jamie reveals that he had worked with
the campaign's photographer Mario Testino in the past so the best part of the
shoot was meeting him again because they shared jokes: "The best bit
for me was being on set with Mario [Testino] because I’ve known him since I was
17 when we did a shoot together about young Londoners. So I get on set [for
Burberry] and start cracking jokes with him, but the other models had never met
him so were like, "How come you're being so rude with Mario?"
[laughs]. I had to tell them not to worry and I wasn't going to get kicked off
set because we’ve known each other for a good eight years. That was really
funny."
Jamie
says he admires Mario and he feels very comfortable working with
him: "He’s a lovely man and makes me feel really comfortable. There’s
only two photographers that can really do that and one is him and the other is
Rankin. I would do anything for either of them."
On
posing alongside new talents such as British model Malaika Firth, Jamie says
the cast are all amazing people: "Malaika is amazing and so is Jean
Campbell, who I'm semi-related to because of the Scottish Campbell clan [who
knew?!]. We’ve got a great group of girls and it's sweet to go on set with
people and then end up being friends with them afterwards."
