Hollywood’s hottest redhead is stepping into some very fancy shoes for her upcoming role, playing the world’s most famous princess.
After stunning audiences with her performance in the summer blockbuster The Help Jessica Chastain is going to play Diana, Princess of Wales in the upcoming movie Caught in the Fight, according to IndieWire.
The movie will focus on Diana, who was 37 when she died after a car accident in Paris, and her alleged secret affair with heart surgeon Dr. Hasnat Khan.
Prince William and Harry’s mother met Dr. Hasnat in 1995 and allegedly had a two year affair with him and she was apparently “heartbroken,” when the relationship ended.
The film is described as a “love story between a princess locked in a tower and an ordinary man,” and does not paint the princess in a very favorable light, instead showing her “as a damaged person who stalks the doctor after he ends the affair.”
Prior to casting Chastain, 30, British beauty Kiera Knightley was apparently considered for the role of the People’s Princess.
