Paul Anthony Kelly, the actor who played John F. Kennedy Jr. in FX's Love Story, revealed that he had to alter his grooming habits to accommodate the role. The secret to success was "water, a blow dryer and a good brush every day," he said. However, he would have kept some of JFK Jr.'s stylish clothes and wares, including a wallet chain and backward baseball caps, if he had been given the opportunity. The actor credits the knowledge about JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's cultural significance to his adaptation.
