Actor-fashion designer John Malkovich says he used to charge his college classmates to do their homework for them.
The 59-year-old says his 'macho' friends were much less interested in the creative side of their college theatre course than he was, so they used to give him money if he did their work, which eventually helped him have a successful career in the fashion industry, reported Contactmusic.
"When I was at the University of Illinois, costumes were part of my theatre course. We learnt to draw, to sew. My classmates were quite macho. Clothes, hairstyles and make-up didn't interest them. They used to pay me to do their homework," Malkovich said.
"I started making costumes for the Steppenwolf Theater Company of Chicago. In 2001, an Italian asked me if I wanted to make a menswear line. I started my first brand, then a second, Technobohemian, in 2012. I'm on my 17th collection," he added.
