Triple H Says He was Offered a Deal with New Line to Leave WWE, More on his Acting Career

From an interview with the Miami Herald:

“I’ve always said this. It’s never been my desire to necessarily go to Hollywood,” Triple H said. “When I did ‘Blade,’ I was offered a three-picture deal with New Line [Cinema], and I turned it down because I didn’t want to make movies and be a movie guy. I wanted to stay in the wrestling business.

“When [WWE Studios] offered me ‘The Chaperone’ [2011] and ‘Inside Out,’ I said, ‘Yes.’ They were good projects, and the timing worked right. I had the time off.
“If another thing comes along, and it’s a great project, and I like the script, and I think I’d have fun doing it, I would do it. But am I knocking on somebody’s door? I’m not calling up the guys who run WWE Studios, saying, ‘Hey, guys, where’s my next movie?’”

“If it’s the right thing [with WWE Studios] and it’s the right time, great,” he said. “If not, I’m cool with that, too. It’s a fun thing to do on the side.”
