Zac Efron Pens A Love Letter To Pro Wrestling After “The Iron Claw”

“The Iron Claw” has left an impact on Zac Efron.

The Hollywood star helped to make waves for the recently released biopic surrounding the heartbreak and tragedy behind The Von Erich family and it didn’t hit a note with just movie goers, but Efron himself.

Efron took to his social media to pen a short love letter showing his appreciation for all of the talent that make  a decision to step inside the squared circle and points out one star in particular.

Chavo Guerrero Jr. was the wrestler responsible for training all the stars in the ring for preparation of the film and Efron took a moment to thank the legacy star for his education on the canvas.

“I have so much admiration and respect for the world of Professional Wrestling and to the sacrifice and dedication of the athletes. 

“These guys tour for MONTHS putting their bodies on the line everyday to perform.

“Was an honor to step into the ring and learn from one of the best, Chavo Guerrero.”

Chavo responded to the post on Instagram, giving Efron credit for all the hard work he put into portraying Kevin Von Erich.

“You gave a great tribute to the wrestling world. Thank you for your hard work everyday!”

Notable WWE stars took a moment to commend both for their work on “The Iron Claw” including Natalya, Chelsea Green and Mojo Rawley.

Guerrero was a recent interview of SEScoops and went into detail behind the training process, particularly with Holt McCallany, who portrayed the patriach of the Von Erich family, Fritz.
