Our Fan Cast for the Film Adaptation of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
It’s no wonder why Evelyn Hugo had seven husbands, especially after this fan cast. Netflix acquired the rights in 2022 to adapt Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, into a film.
The book centers on an unknown journalist interviewing a fictional Old Hollywood star for her final interview.
The tell-all reveals the private celebrity’s true story of seven marriages and other wild experiences throughout her life.
This is who I envision starring in the movie:
Personally, I do love the Ana De Armas fan cast, but I feel like Eiza González would be so good for this role. Obviously, whoever they get will either have to dye their hair blonde or wear a wig, but I think she could pull it off perfectly. For the older version of Evelyn, the one who meets Monique, I think Rita Moreno would be perfect for this.
Now for Celia St. James, this was hard because during their middle-aged years, I pictured Jessica Chastain but in reality I think they need someone who can age down for those few years in their 20s and then middle-aged as well, which is why I decided against Jessica. I think Emma Stone would be perfect, plus we’ve already seen her portray an actress in La La Land.
For Monique Grant, after seeing her in Big Little Lies, I am now obsessed with her. I think Zoe Kravitz would be perfect for this role.
Some other roles including the husbands, I saw Ernie Diaz, Evelyn’s first husband, I envisioned Danny Ramirez for this. I think he’d be perfect, and he’s a great age for it.
For Don Adler, the second husband, my vote would be Henry Cavill. For Mick Riva, the third husband, I envisioned Austin Butler. Rex North, the fourth husband, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, would be great with his hair dyed blonde. Harry Cameron, the fifth husband, Jonathan Bailey. I mean, who doesn’t want to see Jonathan Bailey on their screen?
For the sixth husband, Max Girard, I think Louis Garrel would be great. The seventh husband and Celia St. James’ brother, Robert Jamison, I envisioned John Corbett for this role.
For Evelyn and Harry’s daughter, Connor Cameron, my vote would be Kieran Shipka and for John Braverman, I think Glen Powell would be perfect and I mean, who wouldn’t want to see the rom-com man in this movie?
It’s unclear when this film will be released but expect more announcements from Netflix and us in the future.
