The film maker said the First Lady of the United States would be a perfect focus for one of his profiles. Theroux said that the wife of President Donald Trump is a prisoner of a certain kind of lifestyle.

He revealed that she would be among his dream choices for a documentar­y. The experience­d filmmaker added that Julian Assange and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would provide fascinatin­g material. He said of his own ideal subject: “I think a really interestin­g stor y would b e Melania Trump.

“There’s something of ‘Could she have known what she was signing on for?’ Did she just think she was marrying a billionair­e, who she thought was perhaps quite funny and interestin­g?

“Maybe not physically attractive, but that he could provide her with certain lifestyle, introduce her to a world that was interestin­g?

“And then now, she’s a prisoner of – I mean, I’m speaking hypothetic­ally because we don’t really know, do we – but she’s a metaphoric­al prisoner of that lifestyle.”

The rouxh as said that As san ge and Prince Harry and Meghan would also make for great documentar­y material.

Theroux is working on a project focused on postpartum depression, Mothers on the Edge.
