Seems the gateway drug to get wrestlers hooked on the acting bug isn’t action films. No, lets not put them in a vaguely related form of entertainment. It’s the family friendly “fish out of water” badass becomes a babysitter shtick in The Chaperone.
The new movie is about a just released, ex-con dad who unwittingly becomes a chaperone for his teen daughter’s class trip to New Orleans, while he is on the run from his old cronies who are trying to kill him.
So while I am sure Triple H is a fine wrestler, and more than capable of making teenage boys swoon with his rough and tumble looks, he isn’t an actor.
So why headline a movie? Oh yeah, its WWE Studios. Of course they are going to monopolize on their “performers” for their films.
I just wish they would make a good one.
