Chris Jericho stars in a new movie.
AEW Superstar and multiple-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho is the star of a new UPtv movie, Country Hearts.
Premiering on October 22, Jericho plays a former rockstar who's married to a country music songstress and has three daughters with dreams of becoming singers. Jericho's character, Bones, is on the rise following a fall from grace and battling substance abuse. The daughters have the opportunity to chase their dreams or help their father run a horse-breeding business.
“After playing evil priests, insane asylum security chiefs, redneck social media whistleblowers, and cult leaders, I jumped at the chance to play a nice guy for once in ‘Country Hearts!'” Jericho said in a statement (via Variety). “I was able to flex my acting chops and my character range in these movies and it was a blast to play Bones Jamieson… father, ranch owner, and rock star…which basically mirrors me in real life!”
The movie description reads:
In ‘Country Hearts’, the daughters of country music and rock & roll royalty find themselves at a crossroads, torn between following their dreams of performing or helping their father run their up-and-coming horse breeding business. Between old flames, new love, best friends and family – they’ll all need the strength of each other to face the next steps. ‘Country Hearts’ stars Chris Jericho, Lanie McAuley, Katerina Maria, Brendan Morgan, Jeff Irving, Craig Strickland, David Pinard, Michelle Nolden, Genevieve Fisher, Roy Lewis, Lara Amersey, Greg Ellwand, Bebsabe Duque, Celine Bauwmans and Neil Whitely.
This will not be the only time Chris Jericho gets to portray the character of Bones as there is also a Country Hearts Christmas movie slated for a 2023 release, per UPtv.
