Paul Walter Hauser on His Wrestling Career, Reading ‘Fantastic Four’ Comics for His Role and the Pressure of Portraying Chris Farley: ‘I’ve Been Practicing to Play Him My Entire Life’


Paul Walter Hauser talks his 'Fantastic Four' role, playing Chris Farley in the upcoming biopic and his pro wrestling career.

In celebration of “Hauser Summer,” the actor sat down with Variety to discuss preparing for his upcoming roles, the benefits of sobriety and working out with Mark Wahlberg. I’m committed to these five other things, including my family and happiness.” You have to make time for yourself too, because if I read every script or took every meeting, I would never get to go to church, watch wrestling, go out to eat, snuggle with my kids or go on a date night with my wife. I think rather than us all showing up and smiling in each other’s faces and patting each other on the back at these functions, it would make a lot more sense to go cozy up in a corner and have everybody talk about what they’re going through and love each other in a more real way.
