“I Remember the Stories He Used to Tell”: Vikings Star Recalls How Dwayne Johnson Left Him Pumped and Animated at 16 Years of Age

Dwayne Johnson is among those professional wrestlers who carved their niche in the acting business as well. It’s not a secret that he is perhaps the most successful wrestler-turned-actor as well. But this doesn’t mean that Johnson drifted away from the squared circle. Even after earning big in Hollywood, he kept returning to the WWE and entertaining his wrestling fans.

When he was away, ‘People’s Champ’ stayed connected to wrestling through the stories he used to narrate to his co-stars. Lately, a Vikings star revealed how Dwayne Johnson used to narrate the stories from the WWE arena while working on a Hollywood project.

He mentioned that he was fortunate enough to work with real professional wrestlers when he was a teenager. The Hollywood star said that Dwayne Johnson used to tell him wrestling stories about what happened behind the scenes. These stories were really exciting for the young Ludwig.

Talking about Edge and Dwayne Johnson, Alexander Ludwig said, “I’ve had the opportunity to work with some great wrestlers over my career. Adam Copeland, who’s Edge who was on Vikings……. And Dwayne Johnson. We worked together when I was 16 and we still keep in touch. And I remember the stories he used to tell me about what would happen behind the scenes……. How crazy it was when things you have planned don’t go as planned in the ring…….. To me, that was always really, really exciting.”

Alexander Ludwig worked with the former WWE world champion in the Hollywood movie, Race to Witch Mountain. He was one of the main characters and was just sixteen years old at the time.
