Legendary hairdresser-turned-producer Jon Peters (A Star Is Born, Batman, Superman Returns) makes a lot of wild claims—as is his wont—in the new profile from The Hollywood Reporter. Among his claims are political assertions of a conspiratorial bent, including that President Joe Biden arranged for the attempted assassination on Donald Trump at a rally in July. Peters tells THR that “They may put a hit on me… not in the form of a bullet but in the form of the IRS” because he’s working on a movie about the event with JFK director Oliver Stone. “Oliver is an amazing writer, and I’m a good storyteller. … I haven’t pitched it to anybody, [but] Netflix would be a perfect, perfect place.”
