Cody Rhodes‘ professional life seems to be on a stairway to the top. Not only did he secure the Undisputed Universal Championship at WrestleMania XL, but now, he has reportedly landed his first role in a big Hollywood project. Although Rhodes has worked in front of a camera apart from wrestling before, he will be working alongside Liam Neeson this time.

The upcoming Hollywood project that Rhodes will reportedly work on is the Naked Gun reboot. The first film was released in December 1988. After more than three decades, we are getting a reboot which will feature our new WWE Champion.

Cody Rhodes will have an important role in the movie

Previously, fans had spotted ‘Stardust’ in TV shows with a limited fanbase. One such example is the TV show ‘Arrow’ based on a DC comic character. Cody Rhodes appeared first in the 5th season as ‘Derek Sampson’, a minor antagonist. Now, he will be seen in a big Hollywood reboot starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson.

The report regarding the reboot of an old ‘Police Squad!’ adaptation was exclusively broken out by Daily Mail. In the original title, the late Leslie Nielson played the protagonist Lt. Frank Drebrin, who will now be replaced by Liam Neeson. However, the writers have a different plan for Cody Rhodes.

The source reported, “To make things a little easier for himself, he might actually end up playing himself in the film.” So far, the plot of the movie hasn’t been revealed, but there is speculation from the source that the WWE top star could end up playing the hypnotized person, as a nod to the original film. This will make his role extremely crucial as he would help unveil the antagonist of the movie.

While his Hollywood entry may further deepen his feud with The Rock, it will certainly pay off the sacrifice that his father made all those years ago.

Cody Rhodes’ father sold his expensive watch for him

During his younger days, when Cody Rhodes wished to pursue acting through a school, he approached his father about the same. The fee for the acting school exceeded Dusty Rhodes‘ affordability criteria. As a result, he had to sell his big gold Rolex with a Jubilee bracelet. However, the wrestling legend didn’t let his son know what he had to do to pay off his acting school fees.

Following his father’s demise, Cody Rhodes asked about the watch and found out the truth. Since he couldn’t find the same watch, the new WWE heads gave him a gift of the same Rolex model and serial number before WrestleMania XL.

Although his acting training paid off in the wrestling world too, his big Hollywood debut would have made his father even prouder. Are you excited to see Rhodes on the big screen? Let us know in the comments below.
