Lily James Honored to Play Bumble Founder Whitney Wolfe Herd in 'Swiped'
Originally Published 3 months ago — by Deadline
Whitney Wolfe Herd, founder of Bumble, was initially opposed to the Hulu biopic 'Swiped' about her but is now honored that Lily James portrays her, despite feeling terrified and slightly flattered. James praised Herd as a trailblazer and found the role inspiring, though Herd had asked her lawyer to shut down the project two years ago.
