Before Bill Clinton and Donald Trump if we found out a candidate was having an affair, he was shamed out of running. The best example of that is Gary Hart who ran for president in 1988. That year he was The Front Runner until his affair was front page news. Once it hit the press, he went from #1 to done.
Thirty years later, his story is being told and Hugh Jackman is playing him. Since Hart is American, so is the actor’s accent. I cannot get over hearing him talk like the disgraced candidate. Because of that, I cannot wait to see them film on November 7th. Not because of the story, but because I want to see how many Jackman’s Australian accent comes out from Down Under.
