Los Angeles, Oct 21 (NationPress) Hollywood actor Michael Fassbender is preparing to portray Joe Kennedy Sr., the head of the renowned Kennedy political family, in the forthcoming streaming series titled ‘Kennedy’.

The 48-year-old star will embody the patriarch in this intriguing drama, as reported by Female First UK. The series delves into the personal truths of the Kennedy family. Showrunner and executive producer Sam Shaw shared with Tudum, "The narrative of the Kennedys is akin to American mythology, straddling the lines between Shakespeare and The Bold and the Beautiful. However, Fredrik Logevall's profound biography lifts the veil on the human aspirations and struggles behind the myth, offering insights not only into the Kennedys but also into our current reality and future trajectory."

He expressed his excitement, stating, "I’m eager to dive into this saga of a family and an era in flux alongside Eric Roth, Thomas Vinterberg, and our remarkable team of artists and collaborators, especially at a time when our history feels pressing and relevant."

According to Female First UK, the series draws inspiration from Fredrik Logevall's book, ‘JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917-1956’. It will examine "the personal lives, passions, rivalries, and tragedies that defined this iconic dynasty in modern history, shaping the world we inhabit today."

In addition, Michael previously admitted to being a 'worrywart' during his youth. Despite achieving significant success in Hollywood, he faced anxiety challenges during his teenage years.

He revealed to The Guardian, "I would find myself thinking, ‘I’m not worrying about anything, what should I be worrying about?’ I’ve made an effort to address that. I no longer stress over uncontrollable factors. I avoid dwelling on the past, as it seems unproductive. There might be past mistakes, but they are primarily just experiences."

“Fretting over things beyond your control is futile. If you're not cautious, you may start to relish that self-absorbed martyrdom and self-hatred. These issues can turn into familiar patterns because they become habitual,” he concluded.
