Apart From Donning the $25,000,000 Hulk Hogan Armor for Rumored Biopic, $130,000,000 Chris Hemsworth Has Another Bizarre Connection With the Hulkster

Follow Us

Pro wrestlers often live a life full of surging highs and dipping lows. Most of their rise closely resembles a journey from the grass to grace. Hulk Hogan, 70, one of the biggest stars to ever step into the ring, lived a host of iconic moments both inside and outside the squared circle that completely deserves a cinematic reception. Everything about his life, starting from his roller-coaster tenure with WCW, WWF, and TNA, to his dire physical crisis, and struggle with controversies, is anything but boring to be projected on the big screen.

His eventful life was long-tipped to be featured in a Netflix biopic. Marquee Holywood superstar Chris Hemsworth was rumored to step in Hogan’s shoes in the movie. That said, not only in the movie, the 40-year-old highly desirable actor shares another big trait with the former WWE Champion.

Just like the life of the $25 million WWE superhero, the making of his biopic, too, saw tremendous ups and downs so far. The much-anticipated project under the direction of Todd Philip has been in discussion for quite some time now. Back in 2019, fans first got the good news that the movie is underway. The Thor actor was seen preparing hard to pull off the jacked physique and charismatic persona of The Immortal One on the big screen. However, the momentum took a pear shape with the actor taking a break for a certain physical condition last year.

While it might take a while for the £130 million Hollywood hunk to portray the eminent wrestler on the big screen, he probably can delve into the iconic Hogan’s character better than others, as he’s Hogan’s birthday twin. It turns out, reel Hogan and the real Hogan share the same date of birth, 11th of August. Although they might not be cut from the same cloth, sharing the same birthdate is supposed to bring some similar character traits between them, if we go by astrology at least.

However, speaking of Hulk Hogan, this 70th birthday is a bit more special for the prized wrestling veteran.

The popular saying goes, that life starts at 40, but for the Hulkster, life can start at 70 as well. The six-time world champion recently revealed that he got engaged with his girlfriend Sky Daily, who is a yoga instructor.
