Jay Baruchel stars on front cover of Harry Rosen's Harry magazine following the launch of his new feature film, BlackBerry

TORONTO, March 9, 2023 /CNW/ - Canada's very own Hollywood star meets with Canada's leading luxury menswear retailer to talk fashion, film, and his new movie BlackBerry. 

Actor, writer, and director Jay Baruchel features on the front-cover of Harry Rosen's latest issue of Harry magazine for Spring/Summer 2023, where the Canadian speaks about his new film BlackBerry and his passion for telling Canadian stories. 

BlackBerry is a film depicting the rise and dramatic fall of the colossal Canadian software company — something most Canadians will remember first-hand, including Baruchel. And, in speaking to Harry magazine (a Canadian publication), he noted the importance of maintaining national authenticity throughout the film. 

"[Canadian talent] is so used to articulating someone else's culture for them," Baruchel noted. "I want to tell definitively Canadian stories, especially if it's something that's in recent history and so profoundly tied to the world we live in now. That's a story the world should know." 

At the time of writing, Baruchel's BlackBerry currently holds a perfect 100% score on the popular movie review website Rotten Tomatoes, while picking up widespread acclaim and accolades from film critics and those who hold weight in the industry. 

Of course, appearing on the cover of Harry magazine means being dressed by some of the best menswear stylists in the country, let alone in some of the most esteemed brands in the world. Throughout the centre fold story, Baruchel is featured wearing complete outfits from luxury labels like Brunello Cucinelli and ZEGNA, with garments chosen that speak to both Baruchel's professionalism and laid-back nature simultaneously. 

This isn't the first time Baruchel has been dressed by the expert stylists at Harry Rosen, however. During the world premiere of the new film in Berlin, Baruchel was outfitted in a look curated by the Canadian menswear retailer.

Adam Percival, National Made-to-Measure & Sales Leader at Harry Rosen, dressed Baruchel in a very modern interpretation of a deep grey two-piece suit by Giorgio Armani with a classic cream polo shirt from Canali layered underneath. At another junction along the film's press tour in Berlin, Baruchel wore a more classically influenced brown suit with a yellow wool-silk turtleneck, both by Harry Rosen's own label, HAROLD. 

The looks proved to be red-carpet successes with Baruchel's name subsequently included on many best-dressed lists from popular global media outlets including Yahoo! and Insider Inc.

Pick up your issue at any Harry Rosen store across Canada. BlackBerry is being distributed in Canada by Elevation Pictures and the film will release in theatres on May 12^th.
