In “The Bling Ring,” Sofia Coppola’s flashy zeitgeist neo-noir based on true events of teenaged Hollywood bandits, Israel Broussard takes lead-role reins as a gay L.A. transplant befriended by a chick clique of thieving punks. Marc, together with his four girlfriends (including one played by Emma Watson), loot the cribs of the rich and famous – Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox – to get their own glam on.
In a recent chat, Broussard, 18, talked about Marc’s homosexuality being a non-issue in the film, shooting in Paris Hilton’s actual house and learning to walk in heels.
