With Hollywood in his blood, Deacon Phillippe is making his own mark in the spotlight, much like his famous parents, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe.
Deacon Phillippe is set to take on a new role in Netflix’s Better Than the Movies.
The 22-year-old will play Michael Young alongside Beatrice Kitsos, David Iacono, Nicole Bruner, Luke Kirby and Judy Greer.
He took to his Instagram stories on September 3 to share how appreciative he was of the opportunity, while also confirming the news.
“Beyond grateful,” he wrote.
Deacon also reposted a post which showcased the current cast of the upcoming book to movie adaptation, calling his co-stars “gang.”
The upcoming Better Than the Movies adaptation is currently in the development stage, which will bring Lynn Painter’s bestselling YA romance novel to the screen.
The story follows Liz Buxbaum (Beatrice), a self-proclaimed rom com lover who becomes caught in a love triangle involving her longtime crush Michael (Deacon) and her childhood neighbor Wes (David).
Although few details about the upcoming film have been revealed, author Lynn Painter has already given the project her approval.
