She deftly handled a Colt Commander in “Texas Killing Fields” and was equally adept with a Beretta Model 70 and Blunderbuss in “The Debt” and “Blackbeard,” respectively. Now actress Jessica Chastain is gearing up for a new role—that of a lobbyist who dedicates her life to passing stricter gun-control laws.
Chastain is a Hollywood A-lister who’s appeared in blockbuster films like “Zero Dark Thirty,” “A Most Violent Year” and “Lawless.” She’s now signed on for the lead in “Miss Sloane,” which has been greenlighted and slated for production in 2016.
Chastain joins the growing ranks of Hollywood hypocrites—as we’ve mentioned before—who are all too happy to star in or produce big-budget violent films, then turn around and push an anti-gun agenda.
