Jared is known for drastically changing his appearance in front of the camera, and, notably, earned an Academy Award for his role in the 2013 film Dallas Buyers Club as a transgender woman.

Paolo Gucci was vice-president and managing director of both Gucci Shops Inc and Gucci Parfums of America, and was in the midst of the famous family’s constant jostle for power over its fashion empire.
He repeatedly came into conflict with his uncle Rodolfo (set to be played by Jeremy Irons in House of Gucci) over his plans to modernise the brand by marketing its name with a licensing operation, and was fired in 1978.
