London, June 6: Teenage actress Hailee Steinfeld is set to bare all in her next film role, it has emerged.
In a move that is most likely going to spark controversy, it has been revealed that the 14-year-old ‘True Grit’ star will appear naked for the next ‘Romeo and Juliet’ adaptation, which she signed up to earlier in the year.
Julian Fellowes, who has written a copy of the film’s script has already defended his decision, saying he wanted to have an age-appropriate actor, just like the Shakespeare originals.
“I wanted Hailee because she is the perfect age. Juliet is at that stage of... what you might call a child/woman. Just like Hailee herself is,” Daily Mail quoted him as saying.
'My version is a romantic story - one that keeps pretty true to Shakespeare but is, I hope, more accessible,” he added. (ANI)
