Paul Anthony Kelly skyrocketed to fame playing John F. Kennedy Jr. in Hulu's hit miniseries Love Story. But the actor is almost unrecognizable thanks to his new hair transformation on the set of his latest project.
Kelly, 37, was picked from relative obscurity to play the coveted role of JFK Jr. in the Hulu series, which chronicled his romance with Carolyn Bessette and their tragic death. The series, which starred Sarah Pidgeon as Bessette, was a runaway hit for the streaming network, and Kelly is already at work on his next project. Currently starring in Ryan Murphy's upcoming project, American Horror Story: Penthouse, Kelly was spotted on the set alongside Sarah Paulson. However, it was Kelly's dramatic hair transformation that captured the eyes of onlookers. Sporting platinum blonde hair with a leather trench coat in Washington Square Park, Manhattan, Kelly is almost unrecognizable thanks to his hair switch-up.
What Has Daryl Hannah Said About Love Story?
While Love Story earned plenty of acclaim and even a few Emmy nominations, not everyone loved it. Daryl Hannah, whose doomed romance with Kennedy Jr. is depicted in the series, spoke out in an essay for the New York Times that condemns the nine-part series created by Ryan Murphy and her depiction in it.
“The character ‘Daryl Hannah’ portrayed in the series is not even a remotely accurate representation of my life, my conduct or my relationship with John. The actions and behaviors attributed to me are untrue.”
Hannah continued by saying, “I have long believed that engaging with distortion often amplifies it. But a recent tragedy-exploiting television series about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette features a character using my name and presents her as me. The choice to present her as irritating, self-absorbed, whiny and inappropriate was no accident.”
She also condemned several details as being untrue, including a scene where Hannah is hosting a party where cocaine is used on top of a Kennedy heirloom.
“I have never used cocaine in my life or hosted cocaine-fueled parties,” she shared. “I have never pressured anyone into marriage. I have never desecrated any family heirloom or intruded upon anyone’s private memorial.”
