Nick Frost & Jack Lowden Fighting With My Family Interview
122Nick Frost & Jack Lowden Fighting With My Family Interview
With writer-director Stephen Merchant’s Fighting with My Family now playing in limited release and expanding into more theaters this weekend, I recently sat down with Nick Frost & Jack Lowden to talk about the film. . If you haven’t seen the entertaining trailer, Fighting with My Family is based on Paige’s, a.k.a. Saraya-Jade Bevis, real-life experiences and the 2012 documentary that chronicled them, The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family. She actually comes from a family of wrestlers and the film does a great job showcasing where she came from and how hard she worked to land a professional contract with the WWE. Florence Pugh plays Paige, Nick Frost plays her father, Lena Headey her mother, Jack Lowden her brother, Vince Vaughn her WWE trainer, and Dwayne Johnson not only produced the film, but also plays himself.
During the interview, Nick Frost and Jack Lowden talked about what it was like world premiering the film at the Sundance Film Festival and the incredible reaction, how Stephen Merchant’s script is both incredibly funny and has a lot of heart, and more. In addition, I asked them a few questions from our “Get to Know” game like what TV show would they like to guest star on/guest-write, if they have a favorite sci-fi or fantasy film, what film scared them as a kid, and more.
Finally, I’ll admit to being surprised by how much I enjoyed Fighting with My Family. It’s not only well crafted; it’s way funnier than it has any right to be and that’s absolutely due to Stephen Merchant’s script. He did a great job bringing Paige’s story to life and I recommend checking the film out while it’s in theaters.
