“I’ll Be Able to Tell My Kids About It One Day”: Wayne Gretzky’s Son Had a Fanboy Moment Working Alongside Bruce Willis Earlier This Year

The Great one’s kids are making a name for themselves in the world. But instead of following the NFL legend, Wayne Gretzky, they seem to be keen on following into the footsteps of their mother, actress Janet Jones. After their eldest kid, Paulina Gretzky, now son Trevor Gretzky is cementing himself in Hollywood. In 2022, Trevor acted in a movie opposite the legendary actor Bruce Willis.

In his interviews, Gretzky couldn’t help but gush over what it was like working with the legend. By now, the two actors have worked together in five films. According to him, they are now an on-screen team.

Trevor Gretzky had his fanboy moment

In January 2022, Trevor Gretzky appeared in an exclusive interview with Angela Dawson for Forbes. At that time he was promoting his next movie with Willis, “American Siege.” Dawson asked questions on a varied range of topics. When it came to his legendary co-star, she asked Gretzky about his views on Willis, having worked with him on several films by now.

While answering the question, Gretzky had nothing but admiration for the star. He said, “He’s great. He’s a very personable guy. He’s funny. We always get a kick out of the lightheartedness he brings.”

He added that he’d cherish the memories of working with the Hollywood legend and probably boast about it to his kids one day. “I’m just fortunate to have gotten these opportunities to be around him while he’s still working, and I’ll cherish the time I got to watch him work forever. I’ll be able to tell my kids about it one day. I’ll tell them I got to work with that guy,” said the American Siege actor.

The transition from baseball to acting

Acting isn’t the first profession Gretzky’s tried his hands at. There was a time when he did give sports a shot, just like his father. However, he soon realized that it wasn’t the field for him. Trevor had always had a pull toward the field of acting and drama. However, it was only after his baseball gig did not work out, that he decided to finally take the plunge.

Trevor narrated the story, of how he became an actor instead of a baseball player. He explained, “My mom always wanted me to get into it. I was playing baseball in the minor leagues for a long time, and as soon as I got cut, I decided that now I have the chance to do what I really want to do. So, I just did it and I didn’t look back. I got off social media and put my head down and went to work trying to get into as many films and as many jobs as I could. I’m just going to keep on doing that.”
