Man About Town returns for its Spring/Summer 2025 edition—Issue #36—with none other than Will Poulter gracing the cover in an editorial that’s both commanding and contemplative. Titled “In Command,” the issue places Poulter at the forefront of modern masculinity, captured through the lens of celebrated photographer Jason Hetherington and styled to perfection by Luke Day.
The cover story, a powerful visual and editorial showcase, brings Poulter into an intimate dialogue with actor Paul Rudd, where the two dissect life, legacy, and the often underplayed evolution of male vulnerability in the spotlight. The conversation is as unexpectedly charming as it is deeply introspective, revealing layers of Poulter we haven’t quite seen—until now.
“I remember bursting into tears [on set for Son of Rambow] and saying to Garth [Jennings], the director,
‘I have no idea what l’m doing.* He picked me back up, but that feeling has never really gone away.
Fashion Meets Fierceness
Stylist Luke Day drapes Poulter in sleek tailoring and rugged essentials, highlighting the duality of the modern man: soft but assertive, thoughtful yet undeniably stylish. From clean monochromes to bold textures, Poulter wears the Spring/Summer 2025 collections like armor—each look underscoring the issue’s central theme of personal command and presence.
Jason Hetherington’s Cinematic Eye
Hetherington’s lens captures Poulter in a raw, cinematic light—one moment a brooding icon, the next a portrait of quiet confidence. The imagery feels like a visual study in modern masculinity: unafraid to be beautiful, unafraid to be seen.
Whether you know Poulter from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, We’re the Millers, or the cult-favorite Midsommar, this editorial might be his most transformative appearance yet. Man About Town Issue #36 positions him not just as an actor—but as a cultural figure entirely in command.
