Michael Fassbender will portray Joe Kennedy Sr. in the streaming series Kennedy, which examines the influential American political family. Showrunner Sam Shaw described the Kennedys as representing American mythology while noting that Fredrik Logevall's biography reveals the human struggles behind their public image. The series draws from Logevall's book JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century, 1917-1956, and will chronicle the personal relationships and conflicts that defined the dynasty.
The 48-year-old actor previously acknowledged battling anxiety as a teenager despite his Hollywood success. Fassbender told The Guardian he once worried constantly, but he has learned to avoid dwelling on unchangeable circumstances. He warned that unproductive rumination can become a comfortable habit that feeds self-obsession and prevents moving forward.
