The 78-year-old said his first interest was in drawing cartoons and he still indulges his hobby by using eyeshadows, reported Contactmusic.
"As a child, I wanted to become a cartoon artist. I only came to fashion by accident. For 20 years I have painted with pastels and also Shu Uemura eyeshadow colours," he said.
Lagerfeld is currently enjoying spending more time at home than ever because of his beloved 10-month-old cat Choupette.
"I love that cat. I have never seen anything so beautiful. I have always been a bit of a home bird, but now she is there, I actually enjoy it," he added.
