Liv Morgan is living out another one of her dreams this month as she guest-stars on a season two episode of Chucky on October 26.
Former SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan recently sat down with USA Insider to discuss her upcoming guest role on Chucky. When asked about her fandom of the horror icon, Morgan admits to being a fan of the franchise for her entire life and says she has three different Chucky dolls in her home.
“I feel like I turned into a horror buff as I got older, but I’ve been a fan of the ‘Child’s Play’ franchise my entire life,” Liv Morgan said. “I’ve seen every movie and Season 1 of ‘Chucky’ was something that I just loved. My fandom for ‘Chucky’ runs very, very deep — I have like, three Chucky dolls in my home.”
When asked about how she landed a role in the show, Morgan revealed that she went and spoke to WWE after watching season one of the show in hopes that they could make something happen between the two sides and things quickly came together with the creator of the show.
“So I watched Season 1, and I was so excited for it — I loved it so much, loved the writing. Just seeing Chucky in modern-day society doing the same Chucky things he did when I was growing up,” Liv Morgan said. “So I just went to WWE and I was like, ‘Do you think there’s any opportunity for me in any capacity? Because I’d love to be involved in any way, shape, or form.’ And so they reached out, and I was actually put in touch with Don Mancini, the show’s creator — he’s been so gracious to me. We jumped on a Zoom and he was able to write me into the script. It’s been almost a pipe dream come true. It started with an ask that turned into something unbelievable.”
It’s clear that Morgan had a blast on the set of the show, as when she was asked to rate her experience on a scale of 1-10, she gave it a 100.
“It was like, 100. I’m not just saying that, it genuinely was. They treated me like family, you know? They made me so comfortable,” Liv Morgan said. “It felt very familiar, being in that setting; it’s like I was at work in WWE. I didn’t realize how much WWE prepares you for something like this — the cameras, the backstages — when I was filming ‘Chucky’ it felt like I was filming backstage for WWE, it felt so similar, which was very comforting. The whole experience was honestly incredible. I did things that I never thought I’d be able to do and I met people I never thought I’d be able to meet. And I somehow finessed my way into the ‘Chucky’ franchise. I couldn’t be happier.”
