Jeremy Allen White Talks About Kevin Von Erich's One Rule for The Iron Claw - Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

[SirVic]

Heartbreaking quote from the real Kevin Von Erich: "I used to have five brothers. Now I can't even call myself a brother."

[nicholasbintner]

Hearing him talk like a wrestler is awesome. "They protected us, they made us look good" so hyped for this movie

[FaithfulDreamy]

Gosh i cried so much especially when Michael died :[ Such a heartbreaking movie filled of tragedy. To think they left out one brothers death because it was too much tragedy is even much more heart wrenching. Kevin is an incredibly strong man.

[katielark]

He is so likeable, seems so akward and down to earth. Love him

[bryanfouts]

I grew up in the 80’s in Dallas and the name Von Erich was ubiquitous. You may not have even known wrestling but you knew the name.

[choppystyle]

this movie was f n incredible. and emotional rollercoaster for sure. every person that played in this movie played their characters perfectly.

[cholosoy]

The movie did a decent job portraying the Von Erichs, but after you watch the movie, I would strongly recommend to watch Vice’s “Dark side of the ring” episode on them. It will help to fill some of the plot holes the movie didn’t explore.

[aidonis]

The movie omits the 4th brother, because they thought that would enter "overwhelmingly sad" territory. Brutal stuff.

[lazybacon]

The Von Erichs are to Texas as the Harts are to Canada

[TheTubeGuy]

WHAT MADE THIS FILM INCREDIBLE is yes show the brotherly love they all shared BUT the movie also showed no matter how toxic and horrible parental role they still loved their father they still wanted to make him proud which was so interesting and surprising

[lackdeaver]

The movie was terrific! Each actor did a great job with what is ultimately one of the most tragic life stories ever. I think they were very respectful to the family and it showed in the film.

[gregorykrug]

Not only is the story of the Von Erichs tragic, they were like gods in the wrestling world. Kerry Von Erich was probably only second to Hulk Hogan in popularity back then.

[Savagemister]

I was a kid living in Dallas when the Von Erichs were wrestling. We even went to the Sportatorium to see them wrestle live and in person a few times. At the time, it was just what we did. I had no idea how special a time and place it was. I'm not even a wrestling fan anymore, but I'm glad I was there during this time.

[jasonmfvoorhees]

listen to how chavo explains jeremy. he said Jeremy was the best/easiest to train. how incredible. the dude that didnt really care for wrestling and was the best to teach. dudes a talented stud! the bear. a chef, shameless a criminal drunk that was a father figure. dude deserves his accolades

[WendyDahling]

I grew up in the 80’s. I loved the Von Erich’s! Can’t wait for the movie!

[justinmuscle]

This move was so good I cried more than once tbh I recommend anyone and everyone watch it

[cindyann]

Seen this movie yesterday. All these actors did a great job!❤

[JM-vbnf]

Jeremy Allen white is a great actor. Love the movie and glad to see you in another movie

[BDOGreatSaiyanMan]

Phenomenal, phenomenal movie! The love/emotion displayed by the actors playing the brothers is palpable

[THE_CDN]

Love "Tom Sawyer" by Rush! 🍁 I'm glad they got the rights to that song for the film. That song's line about the "Modern Day Warrior" was Kerry Von Erich's nickname in wrestling because he liked the song and it's message. I'm glad Kevin is still around to see this film about his beloved brothers.
