Huzzah!
Lilo has finally settled on an actor to play Richard Burton opposite her Elizabeth Taylor!
Although not an A-list actor, New Zealander and True Blood biker-werewolf Grant Bowler wowed the biopic’s execs during a recent reading with Lindsay Lohan.
Executive producer Larry A. Thompson expressed:
├óΓé¼┼ôThe chemistry erupted in the room… Grant will add gravitas to our couple and bring to life one of the greatest actors who has ever lived. Burton was a Welsh poet, a rascal, and a man├óΓé¼Γäós man, who swept Elizabeth Taylor off her feet and flew her so close to the sun that they both exploded into stardust that still lights up Hollywood.├óΓé¼┬¥
Wunderbar! We are thrilled Lilo found herself a Dick – and only 10 days before production is supposed to start!
Please, please, please commit Linds! No diva behavior from his point forward… cool?
Cool.
