Life Of Pi actor Suraj Sharma turns model for Mr Porter

From Elijah Wood to Max Greenfield, the creative brains behind fashion e-tailer Mr Porter appear to have a penchant for actors-turned-model.

And the latest Hollywood hottie to star in a Mr Porter campaign is none other than Life of Pi star, Suraj Sharma. Last seen tackling 30 foot waves with a tiger in tow, the 20-year-old New Delhi native looked picture perfect in the shots released by the e-tailer.

Sporting a range of looks, including a sharp suit teamed with acid yellow trainers and a navy blue sporty jacket, the actor looked every inch the model.

Sharma’s turn as Piscine Patel in the Oscar winning film was his debut Hollywood role and he admits that he was terrified when he first met director, Ang Lee.

‘I had seen his movies, his movies had been a part of my life,’ he revealed to the Guardian.  ‘[At the audition] I was so nervous I forgot my lines.’

‘I thought, “OK, now I’ve lost it”. [Lee] gave me another chance. He talked to me, directed me’.
