This Dude's Playing John-John


Say hello to Paul Kelly, a newcomer who according to Evan Ross Katz on Instagram will be playing John F. Kennedy Jr. in Ryan Murphy's upcoming miniseres American Love Story, which will tell the tale of John-John's whirlwind romance with Carolyn Bissette. Bissette will be played by actress Sarah Pidgeon (who's in the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot) while JJ's mommy-dearest Jackie will be played by one Naomi Watts! I couldn't even dig up Paul Kelly's IMDb page but he does have an Instagram right here -- I took note of how many followers he has right now...

.... and I'll be curious to see how many he has in a few weeks, or months haha. I already followed him, that's for damn sure. ERK says Kelly beat out a thousand other actors for the role -- he's gorgeous obviously (I'm guessing he was a model given the photos you see here off his Insta) but I'm not sure I see Junior just yet. But who knows what magic they can work with a makeover. Shave him (his face only!) and give him that wavy 90s pompadour and anything could emerge! Not sure how I feel about this series in general, but Naomi will make a good Jackie, I think -- I might not have thought so before her role in Capote Vs The Swans but it totally makes sense now.
