Efron recently confessed that the biggest injury he suffered on the set of The Iron Claw was his ego.

“It was the very first time I had to enter the Sportatorium in Kevin’s full costume, which honestly was just a Speedo or suitcase,” the actor recalled at a press conference after the film’s premiere in Dallas, Texas. ‘

“And everyone was there, there was a huge crowd and the lights were on. I remember thinking at that moment, how on earth did I get here? What is going on?’

As the crowd screamed and shouted, Efron recalled the thought going through his head at that moment: “This is Magic Mike,” referring to the 2012 film about male stripping.

The San Luis Obispo, California, resident added, “In that moment, I was frozen in time and thought, this is it. This is the end. How did you get here? What choices have you made?’

The Baywatch alum would also reveal how his real-life character Von Erich motivated him to hit the gym and have fun to play the role.

“The physicality he brought to the ring every day was truly unique. It changed wrestling,” Efron said Entertainment tonight, before adding, “I knew this was going to be the hardest thing [thing] for me to master and be right. So I put everything I had into it.”

The real Kevin Von Erich, now 66, complimented film consultant and stunt wrestling coordinator Chavo Guerrero at the press conference for “doing a great job of pushing them and getting them ready.” Because it was a lot harder than it looks and they did it so well.’

When asked what he thought about professional wrestling now that he had firsthand experience training and performing in the ring, Efron said he had “gained a tremendous respect for the athleticism that comes with it.”

“There’s a level of dedication and a level of painful torture, just pure athleticism for the sake of athleticism,” he explained.

In an interview with TMZ last year, the real Kevin praised Zac, laughing: “I saw a picture of the guy – he looked great, man, I don’t think I’ve ever looked that good!”

Kevin also spared a few warm words for Sean, adding, “I spoke to the director. He seemed like a really nice guy.”

Although he predicted that the film would be a “tough job” because of all the “information” and the long period of time that has to be crammed into the script, he was optimistic that “they’re going to do a great job.”

The Iron Claw will be released in US theaters on December 22, 2023.
