WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk spoke with ABC News about various topics, including his desire to pursue more acting roles and whether it has always been a dream of his.
Punk said, “You can for sure expect it. I can’t say it was a dream. I’m just a guy that takes every single opportunity that comes my way. I never woke up and said, ‘I want to be a Disney princess.’ But here I am, and I am now. Zebros.”
On his experience working with Roman Reigns in Zootopia 2:
“I think the on-screen chemistry that we share in WWE obviously translated. Somebody saw it. Somebody thought we would be a good fit for the Zebros. So, we’re doing something right.
On enjoying playing the villain:
“Time in my life, honestly, yeah. I feel like playing a villain is something that I was possibly born to do. And you can have a lot more fun. The bad guys always have better weapons, cooler vehicles. I think you can you can be more grandiose. Heroes are more centered. I think villains can spread their wings a little bit more, do and say crazier, wilder things. And I do think in life everybody has encountered some type of villain and then they remember how that made them feel. So it’s like an an emotional heartstring I like to tug on, and get people to react.”
