When Paul Anthony Kelly was cast as John F. Kennedy Jr. in Ryan Murphy's upcoming series about the late lamented John-John's romance with Carolyn Bessette we took note that his Instagram account only had 400 followers and said it'd be interesting to note how many he had in a few months -- well he's over 7000 now, which still seems kinda low, but then the series (which is called American Love Story, presumably marking it as a spin-off anthology in the vein of American Horror Story) doesn't premiere until February. Press is just now kicking off it seems, starting with this photoshoot and interview with Mr. Kelly for Interview Magazine -- read it here. My guess is once the show premieres his follower count will really take off. Because follower counts are all that matter, yo! Anyway...
... dude is obviously crazy-handsome but I'm still not really seeing JFK Jr. -- seeing as how that's basically an impossible task though I will give him the benefit of the doubt until the show actually premieres. What I'm more worried about is whether he can act, seeing as how he's really a model, with next to no experience. The interview itself is fairly boring so I still have no clue, but I had missed a lot of the casting announcements which he mentions -- Grace Gummer is playing Caroline and Naomi Watts is playing Jackie! Oh, I do remember posting that Alessandro Nivola is playing Calvin Klein, now that I see that listed. (Hot.) Anyway guess we'll find out in a couple of months. Hit the jump for the rest of these photos...
The forehead and hair line are right. I assume he’s a nice Irish boy with a last name like Kelly.
ReplyDeleteA whole world full of blonde actresses and they cast one of Meryl Streep's mediocre daughters. Well done, Ryan.
ReplyDeleteMS only has one "mediocre" daughter, and her mediocrity is debatable.
DeleteThere are TWO Gummers and both are mediocre at best.
DeleteThis is where I tell you for the second time to look up Justice Joslin, another model/wanna-be-actor. Yes, he's looks more like Paul Newman, but there's definitely a John John-iness about him (the hair, the body).
ReplyDeleteDid I ignore a comment about Justice Joslin before? My apologies -- I 1000% know of Justice Joslin, he's a fucking DREAMBOAT haha. One of THE male models IMHO. Just drop dead gorgeosity, I swoon every single time I see him. Smelling salts for days!
ReplyDeleteYes. And I'm not gonna be ignored, Dan...er Jason!
ReplyDeleteI just 'bloogled' it (that's Blogger Google) and it was from an August 2021 post. Over 4 years and NOTHING! Lol.
I forgive you.
jfk jr, along with maybe a young hemingway, is one of the only non-movie stars where you could never find an actor handsome enough to play him
