Who played Romeo in Carlo Carlei’s 2013 film adaptation Romeo and Juliet?

Douglas Booth played Romeo in Carlo Carlei’s 2013 film adaptation Romeo and Juliet.

The film stars Booth as Romeo Montague and Hailee Steinfeld as Juliet Capulet. It adapts Shakespeare’s play in a historical setting and uses a screenplay by Julian Fellowes, who later became widely known for creating Downton Abbey.

The production was directed by Carlo Carlei and filmed in Italy, including locations in Mantua and other historic settings. The cast also includes Damian Lewis as Lord Capulet, Natascha McElhone as Lady Capulet, Stellan Skarsgård as Prince Escalus, and Paul Giamatti as Friar Laurence.

This casting question is easy to mix up with other screen versions. Leonardo DiCaprio played Romeo in Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 Romeo + Juliet, while Douglas Booth belongs to the later 2013 adaptation. Hailee Steinfeld, rather than Booth, plays Juliet in Carlei’s film.
