After making a splash in Gap’s summer 2024 campaign, Cooper Koch ushers in cashmere season with style. At his recent “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” appearance, the “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” actor donned Banana Republic’s Alta cashmere crewneck in cherry jam red. Paired with tailored trousers and classic loafers, the look was effortlessly sharp.

Koch, who portrayed Erik Menendez, shared with Cohen the nerves he felt meeting the real-life figure behind his character. “I’ve known about them for so long, and I care so much, so it was nerve-wracking. But when I got there, it was all great,” he admitted.
His empathy isn’t just on-screen. In a September Variety interview, he voiced his support for the Menendez brothers, expressing, “I really do hope that they are able to get paroled and have an amazing rest of their lives.”
Despite the brothers serving life sentences for the 1989 murders of their parents, they assert these acts were in self-defense due to long-term abuse. Their campaign for resentencing remains active, spotlighting the ongoing debate surrounding their case.
