Hulk Hogan Lies About Being Offered Lead in "The Wrestler"Posted: October 12th, 2012 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
  Back when Darren Aronofsky was developing "The Wrestler," the director said many times that the movie would only work if Mickey Rourke would play the lead. Aronofsky got his wish. But when he asked Hulk Hogan to join the cast in a small role, the wrestling legend turned him down.
Hogan has now appeared on "The Howard Stern Show" and spoke about "The Wrestler," stating that Aronofsky actually wanted him to play the lead. When Stern asked him why he turned down the offer, Hogan replied: "The problem is, if I had done it, Hollywood would have looked at it as a joke." He made similar comments earlier this year, explaining that after reading the script, he felt that the film deserved a better actor than him.
The problem is that Aronofsky never wanted Hogan to play the lead. In fact, the director took it to Twitter to let his fans know exactly that. "For the record, the role of the wrestler was always [for] Mickey Rourke. It was never Hulk Hogan's as he claims on 'Howard Stern.'"

Hogan got the lead role in that recently leaked sex tape, so I'm sure that's some consolation.

Here's an idea, If you don't care about an article, DON'T f*ckING POST ON IT.
I come here to read about movie news and read views and opinions of those who do the same, not scroll trough the adolescent dribble from a bunch of trolling morons(who are thankfully the minority).

Hulk will do anything (or anyone... including his daughter) to stay relevant. Thing is... it's not working.

I always remember him popping up in the A-Team, that's where his 'acting' should have stopped.

Tss Tss Hogan, Lying is something very ugly in every country but in the US it has a more sharp meaning, especially when you dare to lie on air. After the sex tape, you seem to loose it man. It's time to pull your sh*t back together.

No surprise there.
What I also liked was the round table of retired professional wrestlers in the special features talking how good the movie was...I think that really solidified it's realism.
Also, it was also good to see them again, especially the ones you don't see regularly like Rowdy Roddy Piper & "The Hammer" Garvin...
