The Iron Claw is the latest movie to focus on professional wrestling. The film, released today (December 22), is based on the legendary Von Erich wrestling family. It focuses on their incredible rise in pro wrestling and pop culture. Naturally, it then details the tragic twists their lives ultimately take.
While most of the Von Erich family portrayed in the film are unfortunately no longer with us today, one member is alive and well. Naturally, some fans of the film may be curious as to what Kevin Von Erich is doing today after they see The Iron Claw.
Kevin Von Erich (played by Zac Efron in the film) is doing quite well in 2023, heading into 2024. The man was born in Illinois but rose to fame in Texas. He and his wife, Pam Adkisson, live in Hawaii and have four children, two of whom are professional wrestlers. Despite having a commercial real estate business as the owner of K.R. Adkisson Enterprises, the 66-year-old isn't completely done with pro wrestling.
