creating guy niche
I'm creating my niche. My niche is going to be "shirtless guy."
guy love mind people
For some reason, I'm the guy people love to hate, which I think is weird. People who know me find that very strange, but for some reason, I am. I don't mind being that guy - I have fun with it.
compared version
Especially, I don't want to ever be compared to The Rock because I'd be the poor man's version of The Rock. I'm just not him; it's not who I am as a person or as a performer. The Rock's very big and bold, and I'm not.
love
You do take a beating in professional wrestling. But I love it.
coach comedic dramatic lessons love required scenes stuff time tough
My first acting lessons were Shakespeare. The first time I ever started working with a coach was doing scenes from 'Measure for Measure,' which were tough dramatic scenes. And then 'Taming of the Shrew,' which required comedic timing. And that's the kind of stuff I love.
I'm a professional wrestler at heart, and I miss it.
I look like a gorilla, just the way I'm built.
buy games literally though
It was always one of my favorite things, the action figures, the video games, when I was with WWE, even though I'm not a gamer. I would literally go out and buy the games just so I could play myself.
everybody puts putting vulnerable
It's a weird thing... putting your emotions out there for everybody to see while filming. I think it puts you in a kind of vulnerable state.
looked
Yes, I am physical but never go looking for fights. I have been in my share of them but never looked for them.
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.
