There has probably never been so many wrestlers in Hollywood – and now the wrestling movies are shooting up all over the place. Chris Hemsworth will soon be playing Hulk Hogan. And in the coming Wrestler biopic The Iron Claw, Zac Efron embodies real-life wrestling legend Kevin Von Erich. We can now admire the result of his training work in all its glory.

What wrestling legend Kevin Von Erich says about Zac Efron’s muscles
Efron role model Kevin Von Erich has now ended his wrestling career. He was primarily active from 1976 to 1995 and won the WCWA World Heavyweight once. A few days ago, he commended Efron’s efforts to TMZ: “He still has a lot of work to do but I saw a picture of him, he looks great. I’ve never looked so good.” Efron couldn’t really wish for a bigger award.
What is The Iron Claw about?
The Iron Claw by Sean Durkin tells the History of the Von Erich family of wrestlers, which has had a major impact on the sport from the 1960s to the present day. In addition to Zac Efron as Kevin Von Erich, the film also stars Lily James and Jeremy Allen White, among others. A German theatrical release has not yet been determined.
