With his nine-part web series
"Cybergeddon" currently playing on Yahoo, Olivier Martinez garnered himself a
little added exposure by covering the Men's October 2012 issue of Ocean Drive
magazine.
The 46-year-old actor looked handsome in
designer items such as a Dior Homme suit and a Gucci leather jacket for the Jack
Guy shot spread while talking about topics including fame, food and
acting.
On his role in "Cybergeddon:"
"I play a cyberterrorist—a supersmart,
tech-savvy man who’s going to use his skills for revenge. In a way, it’s kind of
a criticism of the dangers of the Internet, and of all these new media and means
of communication, like what happens if it gets into the wrong hands…. But
cyberterrorism between countries does exist, with spies and such—it’s a new
dimension, and it has a real effect on humanity."
On fame:
"To be famous doesn’t really represent
anything, and it’s rather tacky to consider yourself famous. In a world where
most people want to appear, I want to disappear a little bit…. I like to have
some distance with everything. And if people don’t recognize me on the street,
it’s even better. That isn’t where my ego is."
On his love for food:
"I completely associate food with
pleasure. For me, to eat, even a sandwich, it has to be really good, and I have
to get some pleasure from the taste. That’s where your culture starts—good
taste, good flavors, everything starts there. Like putting good gas in your car,
good food starts you off, and when you can taste a variety of foods, you get to
internalize many different perceptive qualities, and everything is related after
that. You are what you eat."
On where he sees himself in 10
years:
"Hopefully in a nice place near the
ocean. My ocean is the Mediterranean, so somewhere there, near Corsica, or in
the south of Spain, or Morocco. That’s where I’d be happiest."
