stars acting subtle
Honestly, I don't aspire to be a huge movie star. I really just fell in love with acting... Everything I do on-screen is very subtle.
auditions bad favour learning realised
Just getting auditions was rough. But also just learning how to act - when I did my first role, in a film I did which was a favour to a friend, I realised I was really bad at it.
directors easy mind open talented work
Know your lines; otherwise, have an open mind because you want to get lost in the moment. When you have talented actors and directors to work with, then it's pretty easy to do.
basketball grudge
Basketballs dont hold grudges!
tears pieces months
The worst injury I have ever suffered in the ring was a torn triceps; they had to take a piece of my hamstring to repair the tear. It was brutal; I was out for 6 months.
insecure men shy
I spent my whole life being very shy and introverted and I kind of found my release and therapy in the gym. I became this big, menacing physical stature of a man but internally I'm still kind of insecure. Warm, fuzzy and gooey.
makeup boring
It's never boring in makeup.
funny girl baby
Kissing babies and hugging fat girls.
sports strong wrestling
I never excelled at one sport or had a very strong passion for anything other than wrestling and bodybuilding.
school passion juniors
I was an amateur wrestler, which I loved. It was my passion, but I started really late; I was a junior in high school when I began.
creating guy niche
I'm creating my niche. My niche is going to be "shirtless guy."
wrestling who-i-am people
People look at me, and they have a certain perception, and they slap a label on me. The guy you saw in a wrestling ring is not who I am.
learning-something-new keys youth
If you're pursuing something that you love and you're learning something new, every day, that's the key to youth [staying young].
odd moments easier
It's much easier when you have your co-workers who are just, they're there in the moment. If you were out of the moment, you would feel odd.
