Kevin Von Erich Talks About The Iron Claw Movie

The Iron Claw, the long-awaited movie about the legendary Von Erich family, is set to release in cinemas in December.

November 8 saw the premiere of the A24 production, with Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White starring as Kevin and Kerry Von Erich. The real Kevin Von Erich spoke of the movie during a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, with Von Erich saying the following about the movie:

"I talked to the director [Sean Durkin]… I loved my dad, and my brothers loved my dad too, so I was kind of worried about it," Von Erich said. "I know when you look on YouTube and see some of the things wrestlers are saying that are not accurate, I was thinking ‘where are they getting all this information from?’ He [Durkin] told me that 'everything that was in the movie was either something I heard you say or read that you said.' I think it's really gonna be a good thing and I'm hoping that people from this movie, people are going to take the fact that life is hard, but we're men and we have to be hard... I'm not the only one, a lot of people have lived tough lives."

Von Erich continued, noting how it was surreal seeing Zac Efron portraying himself:

"It's something different, I'll tell you that... it's strange," Von Erich said. "To look up there and see someone looking like me, dressed like me and going through the same situations I went through, it's kind of surreal. They came out to San Antonio and played it for the family, but I've had a lot of concussions and my ears ring and I missed a lot of the audio. I'm gonna watch it again tonight and they're gonna turn it up a little louder for me. The movie is awesome and I really think this people did a great job."
