Severance star John Turturro is going outie and about(ie) in his native New York with Samsonite.

The award-winning actor highlights the travel company’s modern Proxis luggage collection and stylish Silhouette 18 series as part of their continuous “It’s More Than Just a Bag, It’s Samsonite” campaign. These images were captured by photographer Alicia Shi throughout New York City. John Turturro is seen carrying his Samsonite luggage – ranging from carry-ons to hardside check-in spinners and a backpack – at Grand Central Station, in the Upper East Side, hotel elevators, and a midtown taxi stand.

The brand points out that for John, his long-standing iconic roles have led to equally iconic journeys. He recalls times of lavish first-class flights and supersonic rides on the Concorde, describing these experiences as luxurious and almost exclusive, offering fine dining and heavier luggage reminiscent of the suitcases he carried on his Venice honeymoon by boat. John sees himself as a seasoned traveler, remaining composed even during turbulence, and eagerly embracing new destinations upon arrival, often heading straight from the plane to rehearsals according to his demanding schedule.

As a gamer embarking on my next epic quest, I’ve got two top-tier suitcases by my side. First, the Proxis carry-on, crafted from the innovative Roxkin material that’s engineered to spring back like nothing ever happened, and it’s surprisingly lightweight under five pounds! They even tested its durability by sending it to the edge of space – talk about a drop test stunt!

Secondly, the Silhouette 18 hardside suitcase for my business class travels. This bad boy is made from scratch-resistant textured polycarbonate and comes equipped with a magnetic ID tag, an AirTag holder, removable compression packing cubes, and a suspension wheel system that makes rolling a breeze as soon as I touch down at my destination. Game on!

The actor famously known for his role in “The Big Lebowski” is the most recent celebrity to join forces with the American travel goods brand, Samsonite. In the past, Samsonite has partnered with stars such as Sarah Jessica Parker, BTS, Team USA Gymnastics, and many more from the realms of Hollywood, sports, music, and beyond, for unique collaborative collections.
