Poe made the announcement by posting a screenshot of a report from Deadline, a United States entertainment publication, which stated “Filipina Star Lovi Poe Joins Alex Pettyfer & Poppy Delevingne In ‘The Chelsea Cowboy.'”
Poe also tagged British actor Idris Elba in her post. Elba will reportedly executive produce.
“Aaaah….can’t wait to start filming The Chelsea Cowboy in October,” Poe said. “The film is a biopic based on the life of actor, gangster and lothario John Bindon. I’ll be playing blues British singer Dana Gillespie.”
