The “jarring” experience didn’t sit too well with the actor.
Zac Efron is opening up about an unexpected challenge he faced while playing a pro wrestler in “The Iron Claw” — an utter lack of clothes.
In an interview published Wednesday with U.K. outlet Metro, Efron, 36, said it was “jarring” having to spend much of his time on set hanging out in nothing but his undies.
“One of the jarring moments that I wasn’t expecting was when the wrestling stops, or there’s a cut, or in between setups or takes – you’ve just got to stand there with a whole crowd around, in your underwear,” he said. “And there’s nothing really going on.”
Efron, who portrays pro wrestler Kevin Von Erich in the movie, added, “That’s a different kind of feeling. I’ve never experienced that one before.”
The sports saga follows the tragic real-life story of legendary patriarch Fritz Von Erich and his sons, who made history in the world of wrestling in the 1970s and ’80s. The family was plagued with unexpected traumas and deaths that many attributed to the rumored “Von Erich Curse.”
