3 Feb
Summary
- Casting JFK Jr. proved challenging, with producers searching globally for the right actor.
- Paul Anthony Kelly was ultimately cast as JFK Jr. after a rigorous selection process.
- The series aims to portray a deeper, more empathetic view of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy.
The production of the limited series "Love Story," detailing the lives of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and JFK Jr., encountered considerable difficulty in casting the role of John-John.
Producers scoured Australia, England, and even interviewed random individuals, seeking an actor who could embody the iconic figure. Initially considering many candidates, including former model Paul Anthony Kelly, the final selection process involved extensive readings.
Kelly was ultimately chosen for the role of JFK Jr., with Sarah Pidgeon playing Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. The series, set to premiere on February 12th, aims to present a more nuanced and compassionate perspective on Carolyn.
