He is well-known for his fashionable appearance and love of high-end apparel.
Lewis Hamilton also made a lasting impression on the fashion industry on Monday when he showed up for the Rimowa photocall in Seoul, South Korea.
The 39-year-old F1 racer, who represents the German luggage company, looked chic in an oversized grey shirt with buttons and wide-leg pants to match.
He added even more style with his red-tinted shades, a pearl choker necklace, and brilliant diamond earrings.
The former Mercedes employee smiled and struck a few postures in front of the company’s emblem, appearing to be in high spirits. Lewis was photographed posing with Hugues Bonnet-Masimbert, CEO of Rimowa.
It happens shortly after he revealed that Hollywood icon Tom Cruise had extended an offer for him to appear in the 2022 blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick.
Tom, 61, played Naval Aviator Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in the 1986 movie, which was followed up on is largely credited for rescuing Hollywood from the financial abyss left by COVID-19 and the epidemic. Globally, it brought in $1.496 billion.
However, Lewis was unable to take advantage of the chance as the Mercedes driver declined a brief appearance in the action movie due to scheduling conflicts.
In an interview with GQ, he said that years before main photography started, when Cruise originally suggested a possible sequel, he had begged for a part in the movie.
“Dude, if you ever do Top Gun 2, I will even be a janitor. Just let me be in it,” he remembered saying.
Good-natured Tom presented Lewis to the film’s director, Joseph Kosinski, despite Lewis’s lack of acting talent; but, the driver quickly realized he couldn’t commit to a role.
’Firstly, I hadn’t even had, like, an acting lesson,’ he said. ‘And I don’t want to be the one that lets this movie down.
‘And then secondly, I just really didn’t have the time to dedicate to it. I remember having to tell Joe and Tom — and it broke my heart.’
He added: ‘And then I regretted it, naturally, when they show me the movie and it’s: “It could’ve been me!”‘
