Zac Efron was inspired after seeing “The Wrestler,” a wrestling movie with Mickey Rourke that came out in 2008.

Efron plays the role of Kevin Von Erich in “The Iron Claw,” which will be in theaters nationwide on December 22nd. This is a film that tells the story of the Von Erich family’s rise and fall.

Efron recalled how “The Wrestler” impacted him as a kid while speaking with Daniel D’Addario of Variety. He said,

“That film impacted me in a really specific way. I was watching it with my dad, and I remember looking at him in that moment, saying, ‘That’s what I want to do. That’s where my heart is.'”
