During an interview with ComicBook.com, AEW World Champion MJF talked about his experience on the set of the biopic The Iron Claw, an A24 film that chronicles the life story of the Von Erich family.
MJF, who portrayed the kayfabe brother Lance Von Erich, had much praise for the crew and fellow cast, including the man who played Kevin in the film, Zac Efron:
“I really liked him. We talked about nutrition and diet. We shot the s–t in regards to my wrestling career and how I got started in wrestling. He shot the s–t with me with what it’s like being on the road as an actor. I explained what it’s like being on the road as a wrestler. We hung out in his trailer.
He’s just a really cool dude. I can’t say enough nice things about him. We got to hang out for a little bit at the premiere as well.”
MJF, who is credited as an executive producer of the biopic, would also talk about meeting John Cena at the premiere, the accuracy of the film’s portrayal of professional wrestling, and other topics in the full interview.
