Jack Perry will act alongside his father, the late
Luke Perry, in Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
The professional wrestler, 21, opened up about the experience on Chris Jericho’s
podcast Talk is Jericho.
“He’s like, ‘I want you to be in the same film or collection of footage that I’m in,’ and he was really adamant about it,” Jack said. “I was like, ‘Alright dad, I’ll do it.’”
He continued, “My dad was so excited about that. That kind of reinvigorated him and reenergized him.”
“He said, ‘If I never work again, I’m happy with this,’” Jack explained.
As for working with Tarantino, Jack said, “Tarantino is a really cool guy.”
“Tarantino told me, ‘I handpicked your dad for this,’ I guess because his role was kind of symbolic,” Jack said. “He definitely knew he wanted my dad for it.”
