creating guy niche
I'm creating my niche. My niche is going to be "shirtless guy."
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.
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.
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.
believe moving wrestling
In wrestling there are so many people inside and outside the ring, and it's so live, and it's this whole adrenaline thing. Whereas you move it into this more intimate thing, everything gets all quiet, someone says action, and you have to say the lines and make the words your own. It couldn't be any more different and it's weird sometimes trying to explain that to people. When I tell people that acting is much more terrifying to me than going out in front of ten thousand people, they don't quite believe it because for some reason that intimacy is just terrifying to me.
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.
motivated
Nothing can motivate me any more than I'm motivated.
