Chris Jericho is enjoying learning as he goes.
Chris Jericho is a former world champion on WWE and AEW. He remains a prominent part of the AEW roster. He has also ventured into acting, as he has been in multiple movies over the years, including "MacGruver", "Terrifier 2", and "Terrifier 3".
Speaking on The Adam Carolla Show, Chris Jericho was asked about his acting career. Carolla brought up The Rock and John Cena and the way they transitioned to Hollywood. Jericho was asked whether he had an eye on that trajectory.
“I’ll say this too, I was looking up last night to see if John ever had the number one movie in the country, and he hasn’t. So there we go, Chris Jericho and The Rock have had the number one movie [laughs]. I mean, obviously, like I said earlier, acting is kind of what we do in wrestling. Yeah, I’ve done quite a few things over the years, but the last year and a half, two years have been a lot more, which is great. When you get the evasive offer to be in a movie, that’s what you’re looking for. You don’t have to audition. You don’t have to worry…here’s an offer to get this part. I’ve had quite a few offers, like ‘Terrifier’ was an offer. When you get that, it’s a really cool place to be in. So yeah, of course, I’d love to continue to work my way up the ladder. It’s fun, this is what we do, and I’ve been doing it for 34 years. How long have you been acting, Chris? Since I was 19, when I started getting into wrestling. It’s just playing a character. So yeah, the overall intention is to do more for sure, but I’ve been enjoying it and learning along the way," Jericho said.
Jericho recently discussed being part of the "Terrifier" franchise. Check out his comments here.
