Hilary Duff, the actress and singer, has been dropped from the upcoming movie, The Story Of Bonnie and Clyde due to her pregnancy. Hilary was set to play Bonnie Parker in the remake of the 1967 classic.

According to TMZ, the split was friendly, and it was entirely due to the scheduling clash caused by Hilary’s pregnancy.

A source told the website: “Hilary won’t be available until next June. If we could wait, we would.”

The director of the movie, Tonya S. Holly, is reportedly already searching for a new Bonnie to replace Hilary in time for shooting, which starts this autumn.

The movie’s other lead actor, Kevin Zegers, who was set to play Clyde, also had scheduling conflicts, which means both lead roles will now have to be recast.

The casting of Hilary Duff had previously sparked controversy, with rumors in May months before her pregnancy that the actress had been dropped from the project.

A public battle between Duff and original Bonnie actress Faye Dunaway erupted when the Oscar-nominated actress criticized Hilary’s casting: “Couldn’t they at least cast a real actress?”

Hilary responded by saying, “I think that my fans that are going to go see the movie don’t even know who she is.”

Despite this latest setback, Hilary seems to be happy about starting a family with her husband, hockey player Mike Comrie.

She has been spending time preparing for the birth, doing gentle exercise such as pilates, and indulging in her favorite foods such as Pinkberry frozen yogurt.

On Twitter, Hilary thanked her fans for their continued support, saying: “Thanks to everyone for the continued love and support throughout the years.”

The effects of pregnancy on a woman’s career have always been a topic of debate.

The decision to drop Hilary from the project highlights the difficulties that many expectant mothers face when trying to juggle work and family.

The issue of pregnancy and careers is not new, and it has been a hot topic of debate for decades.

Actress Hunter Tylo famously won a $4.8 million judgment when pregnancy cost her a role in the popular TV series Melrose Place in 1996.

Despite legal protections in place for pregnant women, many still feel that they are being unfairly penalized for starting a family.

However, there have been some positive developments in recent years.

More and more companies are offering flexible working hours and paid maternity leave, making it easier for mothers to return to work after having a baby.

In some industries, such as the creative arts, pregnancy can even be seen as an asset rather than a hindrance.

It is unclear what impact this latest setback will have on Hilary’s career, but she remains a popular actress and singer with a dedicated fan base.

She has already achieved considerable success in her career, having sold over 15 million records worldwide and starred in numerous TV shows and movies.

For now, Hilary will be focusing on her pregnancy and preparing for the birth of her first child.

She has previously spoken about her excitement at becoming a mother, saying: “I’m really excited about being a mom. It’s something I’ve wanted for a long time, and I’m really happy it’s happening now.”

Despite the disappointment of being dropped from the movie, Hilary remains positive about the future.

She is looking forward to starting this new chapter of her life and has the support of her family, friends, and fans.

As for The Story Of Bonnie and Clyde, the search for a new Bonnie and Clyde continues. It remains to be seen who will be cast in the lead roles, but the movie is still scheduled to start shooting this autumn.
