The Rock Announces Game Of Thrones Star Will Play Paige’s Mother In Upcoming Film About Her Family

As noted prior, The Rock’s production company is making a movie based on the life of Paige and her family. The movie is about the family’s life in the professional wrestling business. It is based on the 2012 documentary on Paige’s family – The Wrestlers: Fighting With My Family.

Please subscribe to my WWE Youtube channel to support me.

Paige will be played by actress: Florence Pugh. The Rock also announced that Paige’s mother (Saraya Knight) would be played by Lena Headey, better known as Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones. Paige’s dad will be played by Nick Frost.

Quite the cast they have assembled so far. This movie should be fantastic.

The Rock announced the news on his 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
