CM Punk isnt holding backon screen or off.
In a recent interview with Josh Wilding while promoting his vampire action-horror film Night Patrol, Punk opened up about portraying a corrupt, racist police officer. The role might seem like a stretch for someone whos spent years publicly fighting for social justice, but according to the wrestling icon-turned-actor, tapping into that mindset was surprisingly natural.
His reasoning? Real-life experience.
Rather than shy away from the roles darkness, Punk embraced itand used it as fuel.
For Punk, Night Patrol isnt just another movie gigits a reflection of deeper societal issues, filtered through fangs, blood, and power trips. And hes more than comfortable getting his hands dirty to tell that story.
Do you think Punks real-life frustrations made his performance more authentic? Or is playing the bad guy just second nature for him? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
