Mark Kerr recalls his first reaction to ‘The Smashing Machine’.
On Friday, October 3, ‘The Smashing Machine’ will open in theaters worldwide. The film, which stars The Rock and Emily Blunt, will follow the life of MMA fighter Mark Kerr.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet for a new interview, Mark Kerr himself recalled seeing the film for the first time back in January.
“Oh God, I cried. Just cried and cried. They brought me out in January, and the film was about 80% complete. My brother Michael met me out here, small little studio, it was Benny, myself and my brother, we watched it, and some of it just hit me. They didn’t tell me, ‘Hey, listen, Dwayne’s gonna do all this prosthetics.’ I didn’t see that till I was in Vancouver, and just watching how deep they got emotionally on stuff was just unbelievable.”
