Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham have become one of the most talked about young couples within the entertainment industry, with the now loved-up pair first meeting in 2017. Romance wouldn't later blossom between the pair until January 2020, when they made their romance Instagram official for millions of adoring fans to swoon over. Since then, the pair have seemed inseparable, posting swathes of romantic selfies for the world to admire.
Later that year in 2020, the pair also got engaged, a clear sign of their commitment to one another. While the young couple is often in the glaring eye of the public, the two clearly have no trouble displaying their love for one another. In fact, they got married in early 2022. But that doesn't mean Nicola thinks her hubby is the best-suited to a role in her new film.
Nicola Peltz Has Starred In Many Films
Nicola Peltz has built an incredibly successful career for herself as an actress, starring in films such as Bates Motel, Batman, Back Roads, and Deck The Halls, as well as becoming best-known for her role in Katara in The Last Airbender and Bradley Martin in the A&E drama series Bates Motel.
Originally from New York, her pursuit into the world of acting began when Peltz was just eleven years old when she landed her first-ever role in the 2006 Christmas comedy movie Deck the Halls".
This role set her up to land a string of largely successful roles off the back of it, including her first-ever stage debut in "Blackbird" (2007) at the Manhattan Theatre.
Peltz only began to gain significant recognition after starring in Transformers: Age of Extinction in 2014 — a movie that was a blockbuster hit.
Thanks to her incredibly successful career as an actress, Peltz has managed to amass a hefty net worth, which is estimated to sit at around $50 million. This is, admittedly, a small fortune when compared to her father's net worth, which is reportedly in the billion-dollar range.
Since establishing herself within the entertainment industry, Peltz has decided to pursue some projects of her own, and it turns out that the young star is more than just a pretty face on camera.
Peltz Is Directing A New Film Called Lola James
While Peltz is best known for her skills as an actress, she is also considered to be talented in other areas of film. More recently, the young actress has even dipped her toe into the directing world.
In March 2021, an official announcement was made. Nicola Peltz would be directing an independent film called Lola James alongside Bria Vinaite.
The film is set to be an American drama film, with a screenplay written by Peltz herself. Already, some of the cast members have been revealed. The cast is set to feature Nicola Peltz as Lola James, Virginia Madsen as Mona, Richie Merritt as Malachi, Lola's boyfriend, alongside Trevor Long, Raven Goodwin, and Luke David Blumm.
According to Deadline, the movie is set in 2002 and will follow a young 19-year-old Lola as she fights to save her little brother from their toxic home. The young teen is set to face struggles along the way, including a personal battle with drug addiction, alongside another 'tragic' event that has yet to be revealed.
Filming for the movie began in 2021 and reportedly wrapped up the very same year. It was also reported that Peltz's husband Brooklyn Beckham actually wanted to originally play a part in the movie.
Nicola Decided Brooklyn's Acting Skills Weren't Up To Par
When it comes to online couples, Beckham and Peltz have certainly been the talk of the town. However, despite seeming inseparable on social media, many fans have been left wondering if Beckham will be starring in his wife's new movie.
A recent interview with The Sunday Times Style reveals Peltz's final decision and her reasoning behind it. In the interview, she explains how Brooklyn originally approached her asking to be in the movie, however, his acting skills weren't quite up to par for him to be considered for the final cut.
Explaining the situation, she stated: he was like, 'Can I be in your movie?' And I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I would be honoured, but we have to disguise you. Obviously he's covered in tattoos and he's British. So, he did a few parts in the background, which if you pay attention, you can find, but in one scene he's like, 'Can I put the mic on? I wanna say a line.'"
According to Peltz, he just didn't quite fit the role: "I started laughing so hard. He had the most British accent ever. I ended up cutting him out! He sat there, in the editing room, he was like, 'Did you really just cut me out while I'm sitting here?'. . . I was like, 'Yes, I love you so much!'"
