Many popular wrestlers have explored the Hollywood landscape in the past. Some of them like John Cena, The Rock, and Batista have drew in millions of dollars at the box office, while others have only made films that have went straight to DVD.
When appearing on The Ariel Helwani Show recently, MJF discussed his Hollywood aspirations and revealed one project he's already done work for.
“I’ve had a lot of different offers for different things. I’ve had a lot of different talks with a lot of different people. I have already done a voiceover for an animated movie that I cannot discuss, but that’ll be coming out in 2023. I'm excited. Quite frankly when people think about professional wrestlers and acting, you get nervous because most professional wrestlers cannot act. I mean, you put a red light in front of their face and the best thing they can say is ‘Oh, I’m gonna kick your ass’. But that’s not my [thing]. I’m a bright guy. Just like John Cena is a bright guy, just like The Rock is a bright guy, just like Batista is a bright guy.”
Elsewhere in the interview, MJF talked about not liking New Japan Pro Wrestling, Cody Rhodes, and the current WWE product.
