Gwyneth Paltrow To Play Nicole Kidman's Lover In Transsexual Biopic!
Posted on Sat Nov 7th, 2009 11:40am PDT By X17 Staff
We already knew Nicole Kidman was taking a serious plunge when she signed on to play Einar Wegener, the first post-operative transsexual in “The Danish Girl,†and now Variety reports that Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow will play his wife Greta! It sounds like Gwynnie and Nic really want some more golden statues above their fireplaces, and this movie seems like the perfect chance to do just that!
As the story goes, Greta, a portrait painter, asked her husband Einar to stand in for an absent female model one day, and he put on a dress, stockings and woman’s shoes and transformed into a woman named Lili. The photos became very popular, so Greta encouraged her husband to do more, but something had already struck a chord deep inside Einar, and though the events that happened next turned their marriage upside down, Greta stood by her partner through the sex-change operation.
We can't WAIT to see Nicole and Gwyneth tackle these roles, but the question is, who are you more curious to see in this flick?
