The 42-year-old actor has followed in the footsteps of Oasis star Liam Gallagher by starring in adverts for the brand's 2024 autumn/winter line with the campaign being described as a "research project" into the community wearing Stone Island's garments.

In an interview to accompany the campaign, Russell discussed his views on life and the world. When asked: Are there any quotes you live by?" he replied: "Never apologise for enthusiasm".

He also revealed that if he wasn't an actor, he would like to "run an art institution" and he enjoys getting up early rather than staying up late.

The pictures show Russell wearing items including a sheepskin coat, a beige parka and a heavy wool jacket.

He follows in the footsteps of Oasis star Liam Gallagher, who has also posed for the brand's autumn/winter campaign.

Liam posed in one of the brand's parkas also also answered light-hearted questions to promote the brand.

When asked to name his favourite season, the rocker replied: "Football season" and when asked to name his favourite time of day, Liam explained: "I get up at four or five in the morning. Then I’m just waiting for something fucking spectacular to happen."

Liam also shared his favourite breakfast, revealing he likes to start the day with healthy porridge. He added: "I have porridge for breakfast, then if I’m feeling really rock ‘n’ roll I’ll have some almonds on it and a bit of honey."

Liam's interview concluded with him saying: "[I am grateful for] everything. I f****** love being alive. It’s amazing."
