To start with, Jared Kushner is a successful real-estate investor and also married to the daughter of the current POTUS, Ivanka Trump. He is the eldest son of noted real-estate developer Charles Kushner and has made quite a name for himself since graduating from New York University in 2007. He’s been seen as quite instrumental during his father-in-law’s presidential campaign, taking over the digital, online, and social media campaigns that helped in many ways to secure Trump’s position. With rumors that a film could possibly be in the works, it’s a question as to who could portray Kushner the best.
Here are five actors that might make a solid Jared Kushner if and when the eventual Trump movie gets made:
5. Benedict Cumberbatch
It might seem a bit of a surprise to see Cumberbatch on this list, but in truth he’s a very talented actor that has proven more than once that he has the ability to bring a bit of class and life to any character that he portrays. One of his latest roles as Dr. Stephen Strange, shows that his accent isn’t much of an issue when it comes to acting, as he can suppress it just fine and play the part without a hitch. His slightly haughty manner might not mesh quite as well, but a carefully crafted smile might fix that in a hurry.
4. Matthew McConaughey
This man is as versatile as they come. Many people didn’t even realize he lent his voice to the part of Buster Moon in Disney’s Sing! until the credits started rolling. His charming southern drawl is quite distinguishable but can also be put on hold when it needs to be. Plus, he is just a smooth character all around that seems laid back and more than capable of taking on a role that requires some finesse.
3. Christian Bale
On looks alone Bale is decently close to Kushner, and with the effort that Bale is known to make when it comes to preparing for a role there’s no doubt that he could pull off the look almost perfectly. Another English actor, his accent as well is easily suppressed and can be made to go away for a time so that his voice is a convincing pitch and tone.
2. Adrian Brody
His features might be a bit hawkish for the role, but he could pull it off. Brody is the one of a kind actor that only comes around every so often and has proven that he can mesh well with many different genres, drama included. While he might not be the top pick, he would certainly be in the mix and worth noting. His facial features might be a stretch for a match with Kushner, but his acting capabilities would lend him the needed edge.
1. Eddie Redmayne
It’s hard to nail down any one actor for a role that is based on a real person, especially considering that many people can come close to the looks of another individual but will rarely ever be spot on with every little detail. Redmayne however is a good match considering that he is a brilliant actor and has roughly the same build as Kushner, which would at least make the role believable.
Conclusion
Those listed above all have a few things in common when it comes to being acceptable as candidates for the part of Jared Kushner. They have the build, the face shape, and the look that can give them the edge they would need to make the role work. Now all that needs to be done is to make a selection and get the film made.
