We see scenes from Vil’s childhood that likely contributed to his strong belief in always putting in the utmost effort: while his father is supportive of his being cast in villain roles it worries Vil, who wants to be able to stay on stage for the happy ending that he has never experienced.
We see Vil being bullied as a child in retribution for his role as a villain on a TV show, and being praised for carrying himself with so much dignity for a 12 year old. But the same film crew guesses that, for all his talent, Vil might never be cast as a hero simply because he is too perfect: “Vil is too special to play the part of a regular teen that viewers can relate to. Without that relatability, I don’t think he’ll ever pull off playing a hero.”
Vil explains that he would do anything to be beautiful, from the most rigorous training to the most tedious hair and skincare treatments, but this same devotion to achieving perfection in order to succeed at his goal of becoming a hero is possibly the same thing trapping him in villain roles.
In his Master Chef course Vil declares his intention to master everything “from cutting methods to using different implements, so I can refine my movements,” and he does not appreciate the suggestion that he should cover up a burnt part of his cake with chocolate coating, saying, “That goes against everything I aesthetically stand for.”
Vil says that he does “every job with the utmost professionalism” and his resolution for the new year is to “continue to put maximum effort” into his studies while pursuing his ideal of beauty and giving it form, following with, “I don’t intend to leave these as mere ‘resolutions,’ either. I will absolutely follow through.”
Vil tells Jamil, “You must never forget to retain a certain boldness in everything you do. Always aim to be sensational. I, personally, would rather die than play it safe.”
Cater comments on seeing all the effort that Vil puts in and Vil responds, “This face was forged from tireless time and passion. Not just my face, either. My mind, my figure, my hair, and my clothes are all practiced, deliberate choices. And every single picture I post is a reflection of those choices.I labor day in and day out through the trends to immortalize the name ‘Vil Schoenheit’…that’s what it means to be a brand.”
