One of the next films from A24 arriving in cinemas (there is still no forecast for release in Brazil) in some regions of the world, The Iron Claw was responsible for hurting the ego of Zac Efroninterpreter of Kevin Von Erichand took the opportunity to make a joke about it.

Directed by Sean Durkinthe film tells the real story of Von Erichwhich represented a milestone in the intensely competitive world of wrestling professional in the early 1980s. The plot shows how they lived, in a way, under the shadow of their father and demanding coach. Through tragedies and triumphs, they seek immortality on the sporting stage.

In addition to Efron as Kevin Von Erichthe brothers are played by Jeremy Allen White (Kerry Von Erich), Maxwell Jacob Friedman (Lance VonEric) It is Harris Dickinson (David Von Erich). During a press conference (via People), Zac Efron recalled how the most intense pain he felt in preparing to play his character “was probably in the ego.”

“It was the first time I had to enter the Sportatorium in full costume Kevin, which was just, frankly, a swim trunk or swim trunks,” he stated. “And everyone was there, there was a huge crowd and the lights were on. I just remember thinking at that moment, ‘How the hell did I get here? What is happening?'”

With all this pressure, with many people and few pieces of clothing, the actor was left thinking about just one thing: “This is Magic Mike [franquia de filmes sobre stripper estrelada por Channing Tatum].”

At that moment I was frozen in time, I just thought, ‘This is it. This is the end. How did you get here? What choices did you make?’

To close the matter, Sean Durkin took the opportunity to make a joke about the provocative costume of The Iron Claw: “We just wanted to celebrate your beautiful thighs.”
