Who is playing JFK Jr. in American Love Story?

As a fresh face in the gaming world, I’ve been chosen to take on the role of John F. Kennedy Jr., the unique son of the legendary former president John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. In this upcoming series, the remarkable Naomi Watts will portray the former First Lady, while Grace Gummer will bring Caroline Kennedy, their only daughter, to life. This project marks another TV collaboration for Watts with the creator of Glee, following last year’s Feud: Capote vs. The Swans series. Apart from American Love Story, Watts is also set to appear in Murphy’s upcoming Hulu legal drama All’s Fair, alongside Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, and even Kim Kardashian.

American Love Story presents the rapid romance and marriage of Kennedy and Bessett, often seen as American royalty.
