Jeremy Allen White & Stanley Simons Make Zac Efron Blush

As someone who holds a strong #1 on the call sheet in high regards — both in front of the camera and behind the scenes — I’m a big believer that one can feel the presence of such a positive influence radiating off the screen in the finished product, so it came as no surprise when Jeremy Allen White and Stanley Simons described Zac Efron as having that kind of influence on the set of The Iron Claw.  The movie is inspired by the true story of the Von Erich family. Following in their father Fritz’s (Holt McCallany) footsteps, Kevin (Efron) and eventually, David (Harris Dickinson), Kerry (Jeremy Allen White) and a reluctant Mike (Simons) get swept up in the world of professional wrestling. Through the 80s and early 90s, the brothers navigate great pressures to triumph while experiencing devastating tragedy along the way. With The Iron Claw arriving in theaters nationwide on Friday, December 22nd, I got the chance to have a brief chat with Efron, White, and Simons, the bulk of which was spent highlighting Efron’s standout work as a leader on set. Check out Iron Claw interview to hear all about why White dubs Efron “the biggest cheerleader” he’s ever had on a film, and to find out why Lily James’ arrival brought a needed dose of joy and fun to set. #zacefron #jeremyallenwhite #interview For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
