Robin Thicke lounges across a hammock for the June issue of #legend magazine. The music star talks fatherhood, filming Real Husband of Hollywood and making sweet music in an exclusive interview and photoshoot.
On how much easier it is now to break into the music industry: “Look at Justin Bieber. All he had to do was sit with his guitar and play a few songs and put it on the Internet and he had a million fans in a few weeks.”
On how he and father Alan Thicke differ in parenting styles: “My dad wasn’t as strict as I am. I take all the intelligence and love and conversation he gave me and I’m throwing a little more discipline in there.”
On how there’s no plan B for his career: “No, and there still isn’t. This better be it.”
Robin shares the #legend June dual cover with the new Burberry squad, filling the issue with a 15-page close-up with Britain’s newest faces handpicked for the latest Burberry campaign. Hong Kong luminaries such as Donnie Yen’s son and Michael Wong also pen special tributes to their dads and kids in honour of father’s day and Jennifer Tse models the newly launched Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso by Christian Louboutin watch. In-depth interviews with Alber Elbaz post-Lanvin, Linda Farrow’s brand revivalists and Chinese artist Chen Ke on her fascination with Marilyn Monroe round out the issue.
