During a recent appearance on the “Ahch-To Radio: A Star Wars Podcast,” Sasha Banks discussed her admiration for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and wanting to follow in his footsteps once her wrestling career comes to an end.
Additionally, “The Boss” commented on getting the call to appear on The Mandalorian, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On getting the call to work on The Mandalorian: “When I got the call for Star Wars, I thought, wow I have the potential to be not only talked about in the same line of work [not only] with those guys in the wrestling realm but also in the Hollywood realm.”
On mixing her acting career while she’s still active in wrestling: “You don’t see women come from that space to the Hollywood world. It’s usually when they’re retired or injured or something of that sorts. I’m at the top of my game, in my prime.”
On her admiration for The Rock: “He’s the number one actor in the whole friggin’ world. He came from wrestling. He’s only been in wrestling for a short amount of time but his impact alone just tells you how hard of work he put in. So when I look at people like him I’m just like, ‘Alright, it’s time to one-it-up and do it for the women.’ I’m trying to do this for the women going forward so that we can be in the same light, in the same talks as all of them.”
