Zac Efron has changed up his look to play Kevin Von Erich in an upcoming movie which recently began shooting.

Photos taken earlier this week on the set of ‘The Iron Claw’ show Efron with a bigger physique and bowl haircut to replicate the look of the WWE Hall of Famer.

Per IMDb, The Iron Claw ‘follows the story of the Von Erichs, a dynasty of wrestlers who made a great impact on the sport from the 1960s to the present day.’ The film will be written and directed by Sean Durkin.

Other names attached to the project include Jeremy Allen White, who will play Kerry Von Erich, Harris Dickinson who will play David Von Erich, Holt McCallany as Fritz Von Erich and Stanley Simons as Mike Von Erich.

Lily James will also be featured in the film, however her role is currently unknown.

The Von Erichs played a huge role in the evolution of the wrestling business. The family was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2009. The group was inducted by Michael Hayes.
