Baron Corbin was speaking to the Johnny Dare Morning Show when he described the unusual way he got called in for a Hollywood audition.

Corbin said:

“I got to read for Eli Roth’s new movie coming out Thanksgiving, that horror movie. I didn’t get the role, so they gave it to somebody else.

“But that would have been so cool. That would’ve been the first one.

“It will happen… And he’s the one that threw my name to his movie, and he messaged me on Instagram, ‘Hey I want to have you read for this part.’ And so, he put… he put me up for it. So it was awesome.”

Baron Corbin went on to describe being in a horror film directed by Eli Roth as a ‘lifelong goal’, he said:

“I think so, I think it’s a must. It would be a life goal to hang out and do a movie with him for sure.

“And I get to talk about Tom Savini here and there. Going through all his horror stuff.

“The things he made. It’s just such fun conversations. Because it is weird.

“And if you are someone who gets to sit next to Savini, it’s like, ‘What the hell are these two guys talking about?’”

Horror name Tom Savini is well known in the filmmaking industry for his illustrious horror career however WWE fans may be familiar with his work if not his name.
