Kaitlyn Dever says she knew very little about Belle Gibson's infamous wellness scam before joining the cast of Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar. However, some of her personal experiences gave the actress an unexpected connection to the role.

Kaitlyn Dever plays Belle Gibson in Netflix’s new series, Apple Cider Vinegar, which shines a light on real-life Australian scammer Belle, who pretended she both had and cured a brain tumour using natural remedies. It seems the director always had Kaitlyn in mind for the role after she was offered the role without even having to audition.

The actress plays Belle Gibson, an Australian wellness guru who claims to have cured her own terminal brain cancer through a healthy diet and other "natural" treatments.

Kaitlyn Dever's mother, who died of cancer last year, approved of Netflix's "Apple Cider Vinegar," a new series about a scammer who fakes cancer.
