The Animal is enjoying the same kind of success on the big screen as he did in WWE. The former World Champion was in the movie Spectre as Mr. Hinx. After he left WWE for a second time following his role in WrestleMania 30 that saw Daniel Bryan win the company’s top title, he has distanced himself from the wrestling ring. Even when he was offered a chance to come back for WrestleMania 32 this past year, possibly as an opponent for The Undertaker, he turned it down.
