WWE experience helped her prepare for a different acting challenge
Summary
– Liv Morgan discussed moving from WWE to film
– Wrestling helped her feel more comfortable on set
– Her physical background proved useful during filming
Liv Morgan drew on familiar skills while filming Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, but making the movie still presented a different challenge from performing in WWE.
Speaking during a promotional interview, Morgan explained that wrestling involves plenty of acting. Moving into film meant adapting those abilities to a different setting rather than starting without experience.
She felt more comfortable and prepared because of her WWE background, although that preparation did not eliminate the learning process.
“Filming is like a completely different beast than what WWE is.”
Morgan also credited the physical demands of wrestling with helping her performance. She suggested viewers would recognize exactly how that experience came into play when they watched the movie, without revealing the scene’s details.
Her comments offer a glimpse into the transition between live wrestling and screen acting. WWE gave her useful tools, but the production challenged her to apply them differently.
The film’s official Japanese account shared the interview on October 20 ahead of its October 23 release.
