Mick Jagger arrives in Sicily to play Josh O’Connor’s father in ‘The Incestuous Three Sisters’
The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has arrived in Sicily to shoot The Incestuous Three Sisters, according to local media.
The film comes courtesy of Italian director Alice Rohrwacher, loosely based on the novel by Audrey Niffenegger, and features a star-studded cast, including Dakota Johnson, Jessie Buckley, Saoirse Ronan, Josh O’Connor, and Isabella Rossellini.
Although it’s linked to Niffenegger’s novel, the full plot details have not yet been revealed. Indian Paintbrush are producing and financing the project.
According to the Sicilian publication La Sicilia, Jagger arrived via helicopter on the Sicilian island of Stromboli on May 17th after his arrival was delayed by 24 hours due to bad weather.
They report that Jagger is set to play the father of Josh O’Connor’s character, Kyo, in the film, which will only keep him in Sicily for a few days due to his role being limited to a brief number of scenes. It’s claimed that he’ll leave Stromboli on May 21st.
Although his stay is not extended on Stromboli, the locals are grateful to have him on the island, with one telling La Sicilia, “He will be treated like all guests, because the island offers the same welcoming treatment to everyone, trying to make tourists feel at home.”
Jagger first dipped his toes into the world of acting back in 1970 when he starred in the titular role in Ned Kelly, but music has always been his priority, especially in the 21st century.
Prior to The Incestuous Three Sisters, Jagger’s last movie role came in 2019 when he starred in The Burnt Orange Heresy, directed by Giuseppe Capotondi.
Jagger finding the time to shoot The Incestuous Three Sisters is somewhat of a surprise, considering his busy schedule with The Rolling Stones currently, as they gear up to release their new album Foreign Tongues on July 10th.
However, due to the fact that The Stones have no tour lined up to support the new record, Jagger has seemingly found himself with more time on his hands than usual in the build-up to releasing an album, allowing him to shoot off to Sicily to make a movie.
While touring is off the cards for 2026, Keith Richards did recently suggest that they could return to the stage in the future, telling AP, “We can talk next year.”
Richards added, “I mean, possibly. At the moment, we’re just sort of saying, we’ve finished the record, let’s do this. We’re basically considering what to do after. Pretty soon, but not this year.”
