Paul Walter Hauser has addressed the possibility of him playing Mick Foley in a biopic.
During his appearance on the INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet podcast, wrestler and actor Paul Walter Hauser revealed that he was approached to play WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley in a biopic. Hauser shared that the project has been in discussion for a while and that he was also approached about playing two other wrestling figures in different projects.
“I won’t get into details, but I’ve been approached about it, and we’re talking to the producers right now, and we’ve been in discussion for a while. I also got approached to play two other people in the wrestling world in the last couple of months alone. So I’m just kind of like waiting it out to see what what rises to the top. Because movie making is so weird. It might seem like a sure thing, and it goes away, and then sometimes something just pops up out of nowhere.”
Speaking further, Paul Walter Hauser shared that he’d like to do a limited series on Mick Foley’s life, so he could tell an elaborate story about the Hardcore Legend, rather than covering only a few details in a movie.
“The way we’re talking about it, I want to do a Mick Foley limited series, do like a four to six episode thing, and be able to tell the story a little more fully and not just be like, remember the time you fell off the cage? It’s like, the guy’s done so much more than that. He deserves more respect than that, too.”
Speaking in the same interview, Paul Walter Hauser also revealed why he turned down a role in a John Cena movie.
