May 25, 2016

WWE star Sheamus, who stars in the upcoming movie “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows”, recently spoke with Chris Van Vliet and below are some interview highlights:

His reaction when he first heard the “You look stupid” chant:

“It’s like anything else in the WWE, when something comes along out of the blue you’re kind of like ‘what?’ and then you’re like ‘ahh’ and then it sinks in. You have to embrace it because it’s not going to go away. I played up to it and I had some fun with it, plus I mean I don’t think I look that stupid.”

How did he think fans would receive his new look?

“I knew it was going to be shock. I came back from my shoulder injury and I feel like there’s so much content out there now that you continuously try to change your image. I talked to Jericho about that because he’s changed his look. But you have to keep it fresh, you have to change your look. That’s why the beard has changed now. You’re constantly changing bits and pieces so it always feels fresh.”
