Stephen Amell Praises AJ Lee
Lee landed a role in the second season of Heels, a STARZ drama about wrestling. Ahead of the season premiere, Stephen Amell, one of the show’s main stars, commented on working with Lee. He spoke highly of the former WWE star.
“Well, it was nice having her around because Phil is so grouchy all of the time. [laughs] No, it was wonderful having AJ around,” Stephen Amell said. “We’ve done a nice job of dipping into the wrestling pool a little bit with AJ, with Phil, Mick [Foley]. It’s fun.
“Look, wrestlers want to be actors, and actors want to be wrestlers; it’s a tale as old as time. It’s nice when we get them to come on, and it’s nice that they acquitted themselves so well. All three people that I’ve mentioned, they’ve thrown together some really great performances.”
WrestleZone will provide more information about Lee’s future as it becomes available.
