He had a small role in Clint Eastwood 's J. Edgar, and will next month
begin shooting a new take on Romeo and Juliet, adapted by Downton Abbey's
Julian Fellowes and co-starring Hailee Steinfeld. He's playing Tybalt, of course.
"You see more into Tybalt in Julian's version," Westwick said.
"Instead of him being a straight villain and sort of the fascist that
we know from the play, you get some depth.
I can't wait to start filming. It's unreal."

How excited are you for the new Romeo and Juliet?

I’m really excited. We’ve got a really, really great cast. It’s keeping
the traditional flow of Shakespeare’s original language, but we’ve made
it…more accessible to a contemporary generation. And yeah, it’s going to
be fantastic. Hailee Steinfeld is playing Juliet—very talented actress—and
I get to play the wonderful role of Tybalt, the cousin of Juliet. It’s going
to be an amazing time. We’re going to shoot in Verona…We’ll get to
bring probably the most famous story of all time back to life.
