Drew McIntyre reflects upon his time on set as part of Dave Bautista’s new movie, The Killer’s Game.
WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre recently spoke with Mike Johnson of PWInsider. When asked what it was like to step onto the set of The Killer’s Game and portray someone other than his WWE character, McIntyre admitted it was a bit nerve-wracking.
“Oh, I mean, that was a little nerve-wracking, I guess,” Drew McIntyre admitted. “I was flying over to Budapest and realizing, ‘Oh wow, this is a little outside of my comfort zone’ but I’m going to go in like a sponge. I’m going to listen to those that know better than me and trust that my WWE training and all the years being in front of the camera is going to help me out in this environment. When I stepped on set, I was still nervous.
“It wasn’t until Dave came up himself, Dave Bautista, and told me, or asked me, ‘Are you nervous?’ I said, ‘Yes, I’m very nervous, Dave.’ He said, ‘Well, I’m nervous too.’ How can you be nervous after all this time and all these roles you’ve played, all these big movies you’ve been part of?
“So that helped relax me. sure enough, as soon as I finally got in front of the camera, no matter how many people were around me, or how big it felt as soon as that red light went on. It’s like the WWE training went right into action. I relaxed instantly and started having so much fun.”
