Fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid's The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo have a lot of opinions on who should play the two Old Hollywood actresses at the heart of the adaptation of the novel, Evelyn Hugo and Celia St. James. And perhaps no call has been more fervent than the one to cast Jessica Chastain as Celia. Alas, those dreams have officially been squashed by the actress herself, after months of speculation and playful interest on her part.
In a new report from E! News, Chastain admitted that there's "zero possibility" she'll play the part. "But I love how excited the fans are. When I was working on Broadway, every single day, they'd be outside—when I was signing—with the books. I just love how wonderful that fan base is. I look forward to watching it and I'm sorry to disappoint everyone out there!"
