As for Zac’s physique, Kevin says that’s no easy task to pull off — telling us it was pretty time-consuming to stay in shape like that back in his prime … giving props to the actor for lookin’ that good.

FYI — the upcoming film is all about the Von Erich legacy … showcasing the family of wrestlers breaking into the game, starting way back in the ’60s. Alongside Zac, Jeremy Allen White will be playing Kevin’s brother, Kerry.
Kevin has had little to no involvement with the film, aside from talking to the director, Sean Durkin, a few times. He hasn’t spoken to Zac about the role.
Regardless, Kevin’s excited to check this one out … and might even hold a family movie night in his backyard out in Kauai. Ahhh, island livin’!!!
