Actress Jessica Chastain turned down the fee for her surprise special role as former US President Donald Trump’s politician sister, Maryanne Trump, in James Gray’s Armageddon Time, but with one condition attached—if her involvement was never formally announced. Armageddon Time is based on writer-director Gray’s own childhood in the early 1980s at the Kew-Forest School in New York City. Co-starring Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong as the film’s young protagonist Paul’s parents, and Anthony Hopkins as his grandfather, the movie premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last month where Chastain’s cameo surprised audiences.
“When James reached out to me, I hadn’t read anything yet, and I was like, ‘yeah, I’ll do it’, because he told me it was his story. I love when someone wants to tell a personal story,” said Chastain. — IANS
