Jessica’s reply to fan has netizens in splits
Actor Jessica Biel was at her witty best while responding to a fan who had suggested that she can’t ‘believably’ be cast in period pieces.
According to Fox News, Biel became the subject of a widely-shared tweet from August 2018 that recently resurfaced, which said, “Some people just can’t be believably cast in a period piece like sorry Jessica Biel you have a face that knows about text messaging.”
The A-Team (2010) actor shared a screenshot of the tweet alongside stills of herself in The Illusionist (2006), set in 1900 and Cellular (2004), set in the modern day. In the photo from the latter, the actor could be seen on the screen of an old cell phone. “Born for wifi,” she captioned the post, along with a laughing emoji.
Fans had plenty to say in the comments section. “Oh, I think you pulled this period piece off perfectly,” wrote one user, while another said, “On the record, I wholeheartedly disagree. Your face is stunning in any period!”
“I think you look perfect in that classic time period,” added another.
On the other hand, there were some individuals who thought the actor really couldn’t pull it off. “She’s not wrong now that I’ve read this I see it too lol,” wrote one Instagram user, in reference to the Twitter user’s original statement. “In all fairness if it ain’t Kate Winslet or Kierra [sic] Knightley I’m not buying it,” said another.
Biel has earned a slew of high-profile award nominations in 2018 for her work in the TV series The Sinner, for her performance as Cora Tannetti, a woman who murders a seemingly random man. ANI
