EXCLUSIVE: Percy Jackson Star Reveals Wrestling Lessons from WWE Icon
In an exclusive interview, Aryan Simhadri, known for his role in Percy Jackson and the Olympians, opened up about the valuable lessons he learned from co-star Adam Copeland, a wrestling legend. Copeland, also known as Edge, has had a remarkable career in the WWE and is currently a member of AEW’s roster.
Simhadri expressed his admiration for Copeland’s professionalism and shared that he even taught him some wrestling moves. Although it’s unlikely that they used flaming tables on the Percy Jackson set, Simhadri humorously mentioned his excitement to potentially use those moves in future seasons.
In the series, Copeland’s character, Ares, gets to showcase his pro wrestling skills. In the finale, Ares faces off against Percy, played by Walker Scobell. While Ares ultimately loses the battle, Copeland’s performance is impressive.
With 11 world championships, Money in the Bank wins, and Royal Rumble victories, Copeland’s status as a wrestling legend is well-deserved. After spending decades with the WWE, he recently made his way to AEW.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians, starring Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, and Simhadri as Percy, Annabeth, and Grover respectively, just concluded its first season on Disney+. The series, based on Rick Riordan’s The Lightning Thief novel, has captivated audiences with its thrilling storyline.
In conclusion, Simhadri’s experience working with Copeland has been invaluable, and fans can look forward to seeing more of Copeland’s wrestling skills in future seasons of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
