I did everything I could: Jeremy Allen White on playing Kerry Von-Erich The Iron Claw

Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White stun in career best performances

Step into the wrestling ring and turn the clock all the way back to the 1980’s this June. Primetime Emmy Award winner, Jeremy Allen White is renowned for playing nuanced characters on screen and has proved his mettle as an actor. All set to return to your screens with another groundbreaking performance, this time embodying the role of Kerry Von-Erich in The Iron Claw, he joins the star-studded cast including Zac Efron, Harris Dickinson, Maura Tierney, Stanley Simons, Holt McCallany, and Lily James. A riveting biography directed by Sean Durkin, The Iron Claw will digitally premiere on Lionsgate Play this June 14th.

Talking about the intense physical regime required for his role, White said, “I looked at a picture of Kerry — it’s pretty daunting. I thought I was in pretty good shape to start with, but he’s something else. So I did everything I could. I ate a lot more, lifted a lot. Also stand far away from Zac, because Zac is definitely the most fit out of all of us, so I tried to keep him on the other side of the room when I had a scene with him.”
