Hank Williams III: A Southerner, not a Brit, should play my granddad in upcoming biopic
Via Billy
Shelton Hank Williams is looking to clarify any misconceptions following a TMZ article that claimed the singer “blasted” an upcoming biopic about grandfather Hank Williams.
The TMZ article, published on Wednesday, reported that Williams, known as Hank3, said producers of the film 'blew it' when they cast British actor Tom Hiddleston.
The article suggested that Hank3 thought only an American should play the role and named Matthew McConaughey as his first choice.
In response, Hank3 posted a lengthy status update explaining his comments on the film and providing a more in-depth reasoning for them. The singer said his choice of McConaughey had little to do with being an American and more to do with being an actor that has played Southern roles with confidence in the past.
“The main Reason I said Matthew McConaughey would be a good person for this role is because of he has played many roles as a Southern man,” said Williams in the status. “And he is from the South. And that is something no amount of money or acting classes can put into a role.
