MJF isnt apologizing for balancing Hollywood and the AEW World Championship and hes definitely not apologizing for protecting his body while doing it. During a recent interview in Australia, Maxwell Jacob Friedman opened up about his growing acting career, which includes roles in Happy Gilmore 2 and Violent Night 2, and addressed whether hes becoming a part-timer in All Elite Wrestling. The AEW World Champion made it clear he always planned to conquer both worlds. When asked if he was surprised by how quickly hes transitioned into movies, MJF said it was part of the vision from day one. He then explained that wrestling and acting were always his twin goals. MJF credited his confidence and charisma for opening doors in both industries. The conversation then shifted to whether splitting time between film sets and AEW television makes him a part-timer and whether thats a bad thing. MJF didnt hesitate to address the physical toll of professional wrestling. He even took a shot at Eddie Kingston in the process. Still, Friedman insisted that Hollywood wont pull him away from AEW. He described the grind of juggling both careers, flying back and forth between film shoots and television tapings even after brutal matches. And yes, that includes working through pain, Even after a tables and tacks match, he said. MJFs message is clear: hes chasing longevity while stacking accolades. At just 29 years old, hes already positioning himself as both a top-tier AEW World Champion and a rising Hollywood name and he sees no conflict in protecting his health while doing it. Do you think MJF balancing acting and wrestling is smart career management, or does a world champion need to be full-time in the ring?
