– Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson announced that Nick Frost and Lena Headey would be starring in “Fighting With My Family”, which is based on the lives of The Knight family. As noted, Paige will not be playing herself in the film. Johnson posted the following on Instagram:
“Our @sevenbucksprod welcomes to our #FightingWithMyFamily cast these two amazing actors.
The brilliant/Bad Ass @iamlenaheadey and another Brit who’s often mistaken as my twin, the genius @FriedGold (Nick Frost). Excited about these roles because Lena and Nick are playing Julia and Ricky – @realpaigewwe’s mom and dad.
Both Paige and myself are 3rd generation performers with a long history in the unique and crazy world of pro wrestling. Both our families made bones on the circuit by promoting small gritty wrestling shows to make a buck (my grandmother was the first ever female wrestling promoter in the early 80’s and to say that she was “hard core” is an understatement). Ricky and Julia have that hard core DNA too – they do what they gotta do to get the job done. And in the end it always comes down to taking care of your family at all costs.
Very cool to see so many brilliant actors respond to our script. Our writer/director Stephen Merchant did a fantastic job and I’m excited to work with him again. We worked together in The Tooth Fairy. He was an asshole then and things haven’t changed.
#FightingWithMyFamily #LenaHeadey#NickFrost.”
