00:00 Congratulations on this film.

00:01 You are no stranger to transformations for your roles.

00:05 This one was pretty epic.

00:07 What did it entail when it comes to the workout and the diet?

00:11 You know what?

00:12 So this movie is a true story.

00:15 That man, Kevin Von Erich right there,

00:17 he really motivated me to get in shape for this movie.

00:19 The physicality that he brought to the ring every single day

00:22 was really unique.

00:23 It changed wrestling.

00:25 And I knew that was going to be the hardest, probably,

00:29 hard for me to master and get right.

00:31 So I put everything I had into it.

00:33 And he told me he was happy with it last night.

00:35 So I'm stoked.

00:36 What did that mean to you?

00:38 Oh, jeez.

00:39 I mean, I cried a little bit, to be completely honest.

00:41 He said he cried, too.

00:43 Yeah.

00:43 Oh, that's good.

00:45 All right, we're on the same page.

00:46 We had a good brawl.

00:48 It was good.

00:49 What was it like the first time that you saw yourself

00:51 in the mirror in full character from the weight transformation

00:55 to the bowl cut to wearing the minimal wrestling attire?

00:59 You saw the full picture.

01:03 It was shocking at every point of the transformation.

01:06 I remember Harris and I were walking out of hair and makeup.

01:09 And it was like the first time we had to wear the full kit.

01:12 And we were both thinking, what the hell are we doing here,

01:14 man?

01:15 How did we get into this?

01:16 But I think it ended up looking really good.

01:18 And we had a great crew helping us out with that.

01:21 The hair and makeup team was epic.

01:22 Harris said he took his home.

01:24 Did you take your attire home, too?

01:25 I don't--

01:26 Did you take stuff home?

01:26 I don't think--

01:27 I took the wig home.

01:28 I was going to ask you that.

01:29 Oh, man.

01:29 You said you took the wig home?

01:31 No.

01:31 Oh.

01:32 Who's your hair?

01:32 I don't know.

01:33 It was expensive.

01:34 We were on a limited budget.

01:35 So they needed it back.

01:36 Yeah.

01:37 Last question for you.

01:38 On a serious note, I just wanted to send my condolences

01:40 on the loss of your friend and former co-star Matthew Perry.

01:43 Apparently, he had said that he wanted you to play him

01:46 in a biopic about his life.

01:47 You know, I heard that.

01:48 And it's a huge honor.

01:50 Matthew is just the best guy in the world.

01:53 I had the best time of my life working with him.

01:55 And to think that he was thinking of me for that role--

01:59 I mean, I would be honored to do it, to be honest.

02:01 So yeah.

02:02 Thank you very much.
