That film impacted me in a really specific way. I was watching it with my dad, and I remember looking at him in that moment, saying, ‘That’s what I want to do. That’s where my heart is.’
Efron plays the role of Kevin Von Erich in ‘The Iron Claw.’ The real Kevin Von Erich appeared on last night’s AEW Dynamite from Texas along with his two sons, Marshall and Ross. Marshall and Ross will be competing on this Friday’s AEW Rampage.
