If you are a theater buff then you know the play West Side Story, and if you’re not, you better brush up.
The play was originally adapted into a movie in 1961.
The story is set like a modern day Romeo and Juliet with two rival gangs going head to head over turf in New York. Things get a little sticky and take a romantic turn when one gang member falls in love with a rival gang member’s sister.
Along with the rumors of Liam, other stars like Camila Cabello and former bandmate Harry Styles are also rumored to be looked at by director Steven Spielberg for casting.
My mom said for Maria on West Side Story could be Camila Cabello. Omg Imagine if that happens Camila with Liam. That would be epic. 😍❤
