‘JFK Jr.’ is in the house: ‘Love Story’ actor strikes a pose at F1
Cue the swooning.
Paul Anthony Kelly, who sent pulses racing as JFK Jr. in Hulu’s “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette,” pretty much did the same in person in South Florida last weekend.
On Saturday, the actor du jour was the star guest at People and InStyle magazine’s Pit Stop Party at the Faena Hotel Miami Beach, just one of various events surrounding the Miami Grand Prix up in MiamI Gardens.
The former model struck various poses at the bash, attended by such bold-faced names as Lukas Gage (”Euphoria”), Stassi Schroeder (”Vanderpump Rules”), Claire Holt (”Vampire Diaries”) and influencer Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia.
On Sunday, Kelly graced the Miami International Autodrome with his presence, hanging out in Italian beer brand Peroni’s luxe suite.
In a “drive by” trackside interview with Esquire, Kelly talked about what a “stylish guy” President John F. Kennedy’s son was and how he’s influencing fashion again since the series aired. The Canada native noted seeing an uptick in one of JFK Jr.’s favorite trendy accessories, wallet chains, but not wearable bike locks, which were a “bit much”.
Kelly also mentioned how well the George magazine founder, who was killed while piloting a small plane in 1999, looked at black-tie affairs.
“I feel really good in a tuxedo,” he said. “If I could wear a tuxedo every day I would. That would be a great grocery go-getting outfit.”
So what’s next for Kelly?
Following his breakout role in Ryan Murphy’s limited series, there is talk of him playing Batman down the road in James Gunn’s DC Universe’s next reboot.
As for his relationship status? Unfortunately: taken.
On Friday before all the 305 festivities, Kelly posted an homage to his wife, Syd Widziszewski, for their third anniversary. He called the movie-production manager, who reportedly gave birth to their first child in January, his “Queen” who made him “complete.”
“You have filled my life full of love, support and a happiness that I never knew possible. I am beyond grateful to grow a family with you and look forward to doing this all over again in our next lives. I love you eternally. X”
