Hailee Steinfeld’s new movie co-star is NFL star not named Josh Allen

Earlier on Wednesday the news of Hailee Steinfeld’s next big acting role in Doug Liman’s Asteroid film came out. Now, we learned that a co-star along with the actress is a famous football player not named Josh Allen.
Steinfeld, 28, of course, just got married to the 29-year-old Buffalo Bills MVP Allen at the end of May in a lavish California wedding. She also just co-stared in the hit Sinners alongside Michael B. Jordan.

While Allen is getting ready for the football season with the Bills, Steinfeld is waiting for the premiere of the movie next week at the Venice Film Fesitval that’s about a group of strangers risking their lives to mine an asteroid.

Wow, those are some big names to drop. What an offseason for Metcalf, too, who came over to Pittsburgh from the Seattle Seahawks, and also got engaged to singer Normani.

Maybe next time Allen, who is starring in HBO’s Hard Knocks for the Bills training camp, will be able to make an appearance in one of Steinfeld’s films.
