Diane Kruger has discussed her close relationship with Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld.
The actress told Vogue.com: "He is like a stepfather to me. We're very close- we just get on so well. He is a very curious person, he's very interested in people in general. I've known him since I was 16-years-old, ever since I first started modelling and he has always been so kind. We go way back.
"People have said I am his muse but I don't think I'd call myself that. It's not how I think of our relationship. That's big. It's hard to describe Karl, he really is one of a kind."
Kruger, who has previously modelled for Chanel, also described why she loves the French fashion house so much:
"What's not to love about Chanel? It's timeless, it's chic. I don't know many people that don't like it. I love it."
