Eiza González Dreams of Playing Evelyn Hugo in Netflix Adaptation
Ah, the age-old phenomenon of casting rumors—where dreams meet the silver screen, and the gossip mill spins faster than a Hollywood whirlwind. Eiza González, the radiant star of the new sci-fi thriller Ash, has entered the arena of speculation regarding her potential role as Evelyn Hugo in Netflix’s adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s celebrated novel, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. During her exclusive chat with E! News’ The Rundown, Eiza didn’t hold back her enthusiasm, declaring, “I’d love to. It’d be such an honor.” However, in a refreshing dose of realism, she added, “I don’t know if I’ll ever get it,” proving she’s not just a dreamer but also a grounded talent who knows the fickle nature of Hollywood.
The excitement doesn’t stop there; Eiza’s own costar, the illustrious Natalie Portman, has thrown her support behind González, declaring, “You know I just can’t think of anyone else to do Evelyn Hugo.” One can only imagine the delightful chaos that ensued when Portman’s compliment wafted through the set like a fine wine! As for the aging Evelyn Hugo, Eiza has a few names in mind to portray her older version—just a casual nod to the incredible talent pool that includes Eva Longoria, Salma Hayek, and Sofía Vergara. How charmingly competitive!
While Eiza eagerly awaits updates on her potential role, she remains committed to ensuring that the adaptation receives the treatment it deserves, much like the prior adaptation of Daisy Jones & The Six. “It has to be well done, though,” she insists, proving that even amidst the glitz and glamour, the craft remains paramount.
As Eiza prepares for audiences to dive into Ash, where she encounters a bloody mystery on another planet, one can’t help but wonder if she’ll soon be diving into the glamorous yet tumultuous world of Evelyn Hugo instead. The plot thickens, dear readers, and so does the anticipation.
Class dismissed. Try not to let this newfound wisdom go to waste.
