Law Roach is ready for an even bigger close-up.
The celebrity stylist, whose clients include Zendaya, Kim Kardashian and Celine Dion, says he’s “absolutely” ready to try some acting.
“When a director sees something for me,” Roach told me Thursday night at the InStyle Imagemaker Awards. “I want to try everything. If I’m terrible at it, at least I tried.”

Roach has made cameos as himself in “The Devil Wears Prada 2” and the Kate Hudson Netflix sitcom “Running Point.” He has also served as reality television judge on “Legendary,” “America’s Next Top Model,” “Project Runway” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”

Also on the carpet, fellow Imagemaker honoree (and sometimes Roach client) Priyanka Chopra Jonas talked about reuniting with her “Baywatch” co-star Zac Efron for “Judgment Day,” the upcoming Nicholas Stoller Amazon MGM Studios comedy that also stars Will Ferrell, Regina Hall and Fortune Feimster.
“I had a blast. I went in there to learn and had a great time,” Jonas said. “I’m just sitting there and watching everyone.”

Efron stars as a newly released prison inmate who takes a TV courtroom judge and his television cast and crew hostage. The cast also includes Michael Peña, Billy Eichner, Jimmy Tatro, Heidi Gardner, Bobby Cannavale and Bill Camp.
Was Jonas breaking all the time? “No, no, I’m a professional,” she quipped. “Maybe twice. Once with Will, for sure and once with Regina. She said something and I was just done. Fortune said something too and I was really trying hard … I’m a girl that comes from drama, so to be surrounded by all of these amazing comedians and actors who are so easy with comedy, it was so cool to witness.”

What we really need is less Law Roach. Not more. Tired of people succeeding by being mean.
