Jake Owen To Try Acting
We’ve got more details about that movie that Jake Owen is set to star in. The film, called The Friend, is currently filming in Fairhope, Alabama with a star-studded cast, including Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother), Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey) and Academy Award-winning actor Casey Affleck (Manchester by the Sea). The film also stars Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones), Denee Benton (Hamilton: An American Musical) and Tony and Emmy Award-winning actor Cherry Jones (Boy Erased).
The film is based on writer Matthew Teague’s award-winning essay, “The Friend: Love is Not a Big Enough Word,” a true-story account first published in the May 2015 issue of Esquire about his terminally ill wife and the support of his best friend, who moves into their home following the diagnosis.
This is Jake’s very first acting role.
