Tom Ford drops by Jimmy Fallon’s show and talks about why he had to utter the line “It’s still big!”

Tom Ford paid a charming visit to Jimmy Fallon’s show to talk up his directorial debut A Single Man.

He tells an amusing story of his days as a young actor appearing in a candy bar commercial. His big line, as he’s holding up the candy bar, was: “It’s still big!”

Tom says he realized then he wanted to be a director because he was dying to be on the other side of the camera calling the shots.

But before he actually got behind the camera, there was that whole fashion designer phase. You know, saving Gucci then launching his own company (Fallon was wearing a Tom Ford suit!).

I love seeing Tom on television being himself, he comes off far better than in print.

A Single Man opens Friday in limited release. I’m so there!
