Lindsay Lohan’s Elizabeth Taylor biopic finally finally gets a Richard Burton

It’s official! Lindsay Lohan has finally found a Dick for her Liz-and it comes in the form of ‘True Blood’ hunk Grant Bowler, E! News has confirmed. As you Elizabeth Taylor fans already know, Lindsay is scheduled to play the Hollywood icon in the Lifetime movie ‘Liz and Dick’, which chronicles Elizabeth’s fiery marriage with her fourth (and fifth) husband Richard Burton (that’d be Bowler). So what’s the latest with Lindsay insurance policy now that casting’s complete? Exactly what’s up with that casual 18-year age difference between Lindsay and Grant? The producers apparently aren’t worried about it. “We had seen him (Bowler) on tape and liked him but wanted to confirm the chemistry between the two. We had Lindsay and Grant come into a room and the chemistry exploded,” Thompson said exclusively to E! News. “It was just Fourth of July firecrackers going off in the room. We knew from the chemistry that Liz and Dick live again.” Well, cheers to that! But it is a tad bit interesting that their par-tick chemistry is just so palpable-the two do have an 18-year age difference. But, according to Thompson, that’s perfectly on-point for the flick: “Richard Burton was quite older than Elizabeth Taylor. This is from a visual point of view just about equal to Liz and Dick. Visually speaking it is a perfect match.” Bowler previously played a werewolf named Cooter in ‘True Blood’ season three. As for any future Lindsay hiccups (especially after those nasty casting rumours), Thompson seems as confident as ever, at least in regards to Lohan’s insurance: “That is all done. There are no problems,” Thompson said of Lindsay’s insurance policy. Thompson also said earlier she’s the “most insured actress that every walked”.
