In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated MJF admitted that he liked acting much more than he thought he would and hopes it is something he can pursue more of later down the line.
I never thought I’d say this, but I genuinely think I love acting as much as professional wrestling. When I first walked into a ring, I felt like I belonged there. When I walked on set, I felt like I was supposed to be there. Acting excites me, and I’m going to keep exploring that. I just did an indie flick comedy called Floaters with Steve Guttenberg and Seth Green and a lot of other great people–and I just did voice work for an animated feature for DC Comics, which was a blast. There is a lot more to come.
