Sam Claflin | To Control, To Be Controlled
Flaunt Magazine’s Joy Is Contagious Issue features British actor Sam Claflin in a striking editorial lensed by photographer Dean Isidro in New York City. Styled by Charlie Ward, the shoot blends luxury fashion with Claflin’s natural charisma, resulting in a portrait series that captures both vulnerability and strength.
The editorial explores themes of control, fate, and authenticity, echoing Claflin’s own reflections on his career choices. Known for roles in The Hunger Games, Peaky Blinders, and Daisy Jones & The Six, the actor admits he gravitates toward scripts that move him emotionally, rather than sticking to a formula.
“If a script moves me, it’s a sign.” – Sam Claflin, Flaunt Magazine
Shot inside a New York living room on a warm August morning, Isidro’s photography balances intimacy with high-fashion drama. Claflin wears pieces from Ferragamo, Dolce & Gabbana, Saint Laurent, Prada, and Gucci, highlighting a polished yet approachable style.
Beyond the clothes, the feature delves into the actor’s philosophy on storytelling, image, and the art of letting go. Much like his characters, Claflin navigates the tension between control and freedom, offering readers a glimpse into his evolving perspective on life and performance.
This Flaunt Magazine editorial is a celebration of Claflin’s depth as both an actor and a man of style, confirming once again why he remains one of the most captivating figures in film and fashion today.
