Mick Jagger to play Josh O’Connor’s father in new film from Alice Rohrwacher
The Rolling Stone will play a lighthouse keeper in Three Incestuous Sisters, joining a cast including Dakota Johnson, Jessie Buckley and Saoirse Ronan
Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger is playing a lighthouse keeper in the new film from Happy as Lazzaro director Alice Rohrwacher, which is currently filming on the Italian island of Stromboli.
According to reports in the Italian media, Jagger was photographed on arrival in Stromboli after flying in by helicopter to take a role in Three Incestuous Sisters, Rohrwacher’s adaptation of the 2005 “visual novel” by The Time Traveler’s Wife author Audrey Niffenegger.
Rohrwacher, who received considerable acclaim for Happy as Lazzaro, which won best screenplay at Cannes in 2018, and its 2023 followup La Chimera, which starred Josh O’Connor as a looter of ancient artefacts, is making her English-language debut with Three Incestuous Sisters, Niffenegger’s self-created fairytale about three sisters who fall in love with a lighthouse keeper’s son.
Jagger joins the previously announced cast of Dakota Johnson, Jessie Buckley, Saoirse Ronan and O’Connor; the latter is playing his character’s son. The musician has appeared sporadically in feature films over the years, including lead roles in Performance and Ned Kelly (both released in 1970), and smaller roles in 1992 sci-fi yarn Freejack, 1997 play adaptation Bent, and 2001 drama The Man from Elysian Fields. Jagger has also been active as a producer, with projects including second world war codebreaker drama Enigma, all-female comedy remake The Women, and James Brown biopic Get on Up.
