Paul Kelly- how do we feel about the newcomer who is cast as JFK Jr?

What a face! Just like John John

HCFMH

Honestly, it’s nice to see Murphy cast an unknown newcomer rather than a big name. Hollywood has gotten out of hand with that lately.

This is the perfect role to cast an unknown in. You don’t need a big name. JFK Jr is a name in himself.

Naomi IS Jackie, btw.

They're not identical, and John John was more handsome, but with the right lighting and camera angles this will be eerie.

Close but nothing compares to the original.

R4 since when is any actor identical to who they play?

They never are.

Will he go nude?

Despite that name Kelly is ethnic looking

R6 since when did I claim they needed to be? Learn to read, hon. My point was that he resembles him to an eerie degree.

It's hilarious how reactionary some of you are. Always looking for an opening to attack.

R8 well his full name is Paul Anthony Widziszewski-Kelly

He just goes by Paul Kelly, for obvious reasons

He has quite a challenge ahead of him, conveying the great emotional depth the part requires.

I'd do him.

I ask the same question, R7. JFK, Jr. had no problem getting naked in front of other people. Most people respected it and didn't photograph him while he was, except one women who claims she took a full-frontal of him while he was on the beach. She refused to share it with others, which requires character, this despite the fact she took it in the first place.

I heard he was hot and hairy downstairs. Apparently it was a trait many in the family shared.

R13 please provide a source for such claims

[quote]Ryan Murphy isn’t always reliable.

What did you think? He'd cast Sarah Paulson?

His sweat smelled musky!

I rode the elevator with him after one of his bike rides.

They sure got the resemblance part down. Jr. had softer features, but like r4 said, with the right lighting and angles...

Nicholas Galitzine IS Carolyn Bessette

R14 Lem Billings

R18 she’s more a Caroline than a Carolyn

Carolyn was the first role cast.

He looks like a FAG

R18 Actually, he'd be perfect as Daryl Hannah.

R13" I heard he was hot and hairy downstairs"

got if from mummy

R21 the chick from Stereophonic?

R21 fail. Sarah has the eyes of a pidgeon. Bessette's huge baby blue saucers were her defining feature.

Sarah is prettier

They will *never* be able to recreate the raw, animalistic power of JFK Jr. He was sexy AF. And they cannot replicate his wife’s alpha-bitch energy. Cocaine + 90’s. But it will be fun watching them try.

I would like to cast him in the documentary about the sex slave I tie up in my basement.

Elizabeth Debicki would have been a MUCH better fit for Carolyn. A younger Jane Sibett (who played Carol on Friends) would have been perfect.

She’s too tall

By about 8 inches!

R31 Carolyn was 5'9/5'10. Lifts in Kelly's shoes could easily cheat the height difference.

Who has been cast as the DLer whom Carolyn bummed a light off of then rolled her eyes when he told her he was so happy that she & John John were married?

Paul Kelly is fucking hot. You know Ryan Murphy is going to have him running around shirtless and stretching in Central Park, if not outright nude...I hope.

Debicki is far too statuesque and striking to be Carolyn. She was a plain Jane basic looking woman who dressed well. Enough with trying to make her sound like some great beauty. JFK Jr was too handsome for her.

Unless he has the correct treasure trail and chest hair—this will suck big time.

But who's going to play me??? I've been an important and integral part of John and Carolyn's life!

Only an Oscar winner will do, no newcomers could even come close to the depths of my relationship with them!

R36 Please. She was no "plain Jane". She may have been an ice queen cunt, but she was also 90's Calvin Klein patrician perfection. Love her or hate her (and most seemed to hate her), she was an undeniable 90's fashion icon. She and JFK Jr were among the most beautiful, glamorous, and tragic couplings the Kennedy family (and the American 20th century at large) ever produced.

I’ll deny it—she was coke candy for Narciso Rodriguez. Nothing more. There were so many more women in Manhattan with a similar, better, look.

Who's going to play her side piece Michael Bergin?

Michael Bergin Jr. Or, Cooper Koch-Klein

He's so unknown that's it's difficult to google him without adding "model" to the search. Paul is married and has public and private IGs.

R39 she was plain.

He’s a model. He’s new to acting

He has excellent treasure trail potential. They will, however, have to cover up, or CGI, some horrendous tats.

For your consideration:

It will be covered up easily. That’s what professional makeup artists are for

Maybe JFK Jr. had a big Poe tat.

Lovely nips mmm

Why would such a handsome man, with modeling and showbiz aspirations, cover his body in ugly tats??

I think Therica Wilson-Read from The Witcher could play Carolyn.

It's a good likeness to JFK Jr.

R52 holy shite!!! You nailed it!!!!!!

[quote]Paul Kelly- how do we feel about the newcomer who is cast as JFK Jr?

He's no Paula Kelly.

And Therica is 5'3. I think she's perfect. Debicki is 6'3 so that wouldn't work.

He cast who he liked for the role. She won the audition. Move along.

I saw an online picture of JFK senior, nude on a sailing boat when he was young, back in the 90s. This was when the internet was a free-for-all and people didn't know how to have pictures scrubbed. His cock and balls were average looking but his bush was gigantic. Lem Billings must have swallowed a fur ball a time or two in his time.

No you didn’t.

I vaguely remember a photo like that R58, and also a debate if it was really of him, or faked.

You vaguely remember it because you’re the same poster on a different account.

No, this never happened

No I’m not, R61, so kindly fuck off with your conspiracy theories.

R62 that never happened

There is no such picture. If there weee, it would be posted here.

Denise Gough from Andor could play Besset.

R64 it would exist somewhere online. Or be discussed somewhere. But nothing. Zip.

Need to see the chest! JFK jr. Had a perfectly muscular symmetrical hairy chest.

He has a great head of hair, but it’s nowhere near as thick JFK junior’s was. But general appearance and the way he seems to carry himself? A very good match. How tall/big is Kelly? Google says JFK junior was 6’1” but he seemed taller to me. I would have guessed 6’2” or 6’3”. And he was very broad shouldered. I think his size had a lot to do with how impressive he was, physically. If you never saw him in person, it’s hard to understand how good-looking he was. Even if he wasn’t JFK’s son, conservations still would have stoped when he walked into a room.

I want Parker Posey for Jackie.

John John, noooooooooooo! You've got to stay away from those Etholes. They do drugs. They don't have good values. We can't just stop being us because your sister married a Jew.

I was closer to him than you were—his body odor was SPECTACULAR

R69 that would be terrible casting. Again. You always want actors who would be TERRIBLE

I ndidn't know you followed me that closely, R70. In fact, pretty sure you don't.

Argh, meant R71. Moderate red mist over pompous fucktard. Annoying.

R56 The real Carolyn was a statuesque 5'10" and looked every inch of it. That's a hell of a lot closer to 6'2" than it is 5'3", which is dwarfen SJP height. Although that Therica chick does share an uncanny likeness, facially.

She looked every inch the cunt. On coke.

True tale: I knew one of the people who were appointed a co-executor of the estate. There was a lot of “clean up on aisle 7.”

Who will play me? I’m one of the most important parts in their “love” story!

But who will play SJP, Daryl Hannah, Madonna, and Christina Haag?

Themselves!
