After years of being just a wrestler, the Hollywood bug has bitten Drew McIntyre hard, as the former WWE Champion has spent all his time following WrestleMania 42, securing movie roles and spending little time in the wrestling ring. And one of the benefits of that seems to be that McIntyre is now getting bigger. in an interview with Fox NewsMcIntyre revealed that his larger frame is in part preparing him for his return to the ring. Of course, when that happens, it gets less attention than his acting commitments.
“I’m as big as I’ve ever been,” McIntyre said. “I’m 285, right, and I’m 10 pounds bigger than I was for Shadow Agent? I’m in the best shape of my life. The other day I was running ropes holding myself in a hoop position. I’m always ready to go. I think it got over 8 million views just from jumping ropes a few times, on my social media platforms. But right now I’m focused on Hollywood Drew. So we’ll see. we will see.”
Recently, McIntyre played another role in the film. though a voice role in Disney’s animated film Hexed which is expected to be released next month. Despite that and McInair’s statement. Recent reports suggested that WWE was trying to bring him back to television sooner rather than later. There is also an opinion that McIntyre will return with some variationas WWE wants to move him from the SmackDown brand, where he has spent the last few years, to Raw. It’s unclear what McIntyre’s creative direction will involve beyond that, and whether his film career will be included.
