Welcome back to Fit Diaries, where GQ asks our favorite style lords to document a week through their outfits. Up next: LANY’s lead vocalist, Paul Klein.

The song “Ingydar” deals with some of that, in a way. What is that word, “Ingydar”? Ingydar was the name of my great aunt Becky’s horse, who passed away when I was a kid. But the song itself, I have to say, it isn’t really about that horse. That was just a fragment from the

The authenticity of American politicians can be measured by any number of fuzzy metrics. Perhaps you’ve heard the most famous one, “He seems like a guy I could grab a beer with.” There’s no particular way to measure the beerosity of a public figure, but you know it in your gut.

For the past seven months, Lenny Kravitz ditched his home in Paris for a sun-soaked life in The Bahamas, where he has long maintained an estate. “I’ve basically been around about five people,” Kravitz tells GQ. You can almost feel his Zen attitude vibrating over the phone. But despite his relaxed surroundings, Kravitz, 56, has

But see now, you got to think about 13. 13 is a special age because that’s when you start riding your bike and you gain a little sense of independence for yourself, you dig what I’m saying? Now “24’s” came out in 2003. So what would be your relationship to that record? What do you

explora Patagonia Lodge Luxury’s changing meaning has been with us for some time now: what was once defined as opulence with excessive cost with one of a kind perfection is now merging into dimensions of sustainability, as well as a belief in the positive, rare and often intimate, meaningful life experience.       How

A couple of years ago, I was performing my usual nighttime routine of reading five pages of a book until I felt ready to pass out, when I heard the distinct sound of paper ripping in my ear. It was my first time living alone, and the solitude had made me far more attentive to

By now, this was no longer a novel occurrence, and CIA people had come to call it “getting hit.” One senior intelligence officer in EEMC, the Center Polymeropoulos used to run, had gotten hit twice while traveling under cover, first in Poland in the spring of 2019, then again in Tbilisi, Georgia, that fall. He,

“The fandom on the show has been amazing, and seeing people have articulate discussions about character is so satisfying,” says Mescal, who notes that “99 percent” of his interactions with fans have been “really positive.” And that’s not even mentioning the praise he’s received from veteran actors, from Hugh Jackman to Richard E. Grant. Some

We spent a good amount of time in Woodstock and in New York City and on the phone talking about where his career might take him from here. With great humility, he acknowledges his skill. But he has been thinking a lot about the difference between preternatural talent and mastery—the work that’s required to ascend

**GQ: It’s pretty crazy that you’re going from Electric Lady to Paisley Park. That’s a couple of iconic places. There’ll be a live audience for that? Indoors? ** Omar Apollo: Yeah, so basically it’s a live audience, and it’s a 1500-person venue, but with 100 people, everyone with masks on and they’re gonna be super

It was only then that I discovered that there are people who blame The West Wing for a false expectation we have that Republicans will do the right thing, which blows my mind that The West Wing would be blamed for anything at all. I had no idea that an off-the-cuff answer that seems simple

Spoilers for the second season of The Boys follow. The seventh episode of The Boys’ second season begins with a white man submerged in propaganda. Every screen he comes near has something to shout in his direction. He hears about a plot by sinister illegal immigrants to invade America and reveal themselves as homicidal superterrorists.

In the midst of a pandemic, writer Dan Riley caught up with actor Timothée Chalamet in Woodstock, New York for GQ’s November cover profile. Officially, Chalamet was there preparing for an upcoming role as a young Bob Dylan, who famously went upstate to convalesce after a motorcycle accident. Unofficially, Chalamet was taking the opportunity to

Undergirding all this messaging by Trump and his acolytes is a small army of lawyers, state party officials, and elected leaders who are doing their darndest to make it harder for people to vote. Because many states and localities have sensibly expanded vote-by-mail options during the pandemic, the backlash to those measures by party operatives

Jeff Tweedy has long been prolific, but the Wilco frontman is currently on a monumental run of Making Shit. In the past five years, Tweedy has made two Wilco albums, gone on several world tours, released four solo albums, appeared in multiple movies and television series (including, very briefly, Curb Your Enthusiasm), and written two

“The only thing that is planned is the set list,” Gracie Abrams tells me about her first ever tour, which has virtually visited cities from Berlin to Sydney so far, and is set to travel back to Europe in May. Abrams is speaking to me over Zoom from her Los Angeles bedroom, and I can
