Hornswoggle recently spoke about his work in Leprechaun: Origins. Here are
the highlights…
If Filming The Movie Affected His WWE Storylines: “No, at
that time I wasn’t as high on the totem pole as I once was, so they gave me five
weeks off. I’m glad I didn’t go back and forth, because that would’ve been
brutal. I wouldn’t have wanted to do it and I wouldn’t have wanted to do either.
All of my focus went into this film for sure. In doing so, I really got to just
focus on making the film, focus on pulling everything out of this character that
I could.”
How involved was the makeup for Leprechaun: Origins?: “Two
and a half hours twice a day. Two and a half hours in, hour to get out, lunch.
Two and a half hours in, hour out. By day three I was cussing, just sick of it.
I don’t know why I was having a bad day. I was just having a bad day. I was so
mad at everything, but now seeing the final product, I would’ve sat there for
five hours. It is so good. The creature turned out so awesome, the prosthetics
and the makeup. It was amazing.”
What are this Leprechaun’s powers?: “He doesn’t
necessarily have powers. He’s just sadistic. He’s a killer. He’s gonna do
anything, kill for what he wants.”
What else do we learn about the Leprechaun and his
Origins?: “I guess we kind of find out what he’s after and why he’s
after what he is. So I guess it starts to really put the idea in people’s minds
of why he really is killing who he is.”
