Former WWE Champion Adam Scherr, known to wrestling fans as Braun Strowman, is about to land a massive acting role in Hollywood.
The Monster Among Men is making waves in Hollywood with a potential career-defining opportunity. The former Universal Champion has revealed he is in talks to play the iconic horror villain Jason Voorhees in a new Friday the 13th movie.
Speaking during an interview at Fantastic Fest while promoting his role in Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon, Scherr expressed his eagerness to take on the legendary slasher character.
Oh, Friday the 13th. Jason,” he said when asked about which horror franchise he’d like to join, adding that he would “gladly shave this beard off to play that character.”
The former strongman-turned-actor also hinted that discussions are already underway, stating:
There may be some talks about it with people that I know and my agency. If we could ever get everybody to get back on the same page and allow the things to work, I might be the next Voorhees.”
