Ronda Rousey has been dubbed as one of the toughest women in and out of sports but the undefeated MMA fighter wants to show a different side of her. After her Hollywood debut on the big screen in movies like "The Expendables 3" and "Fast and Furious 7", she is ready to take on another role for the upcoming film "Entourage."
Through hard work and dedication to her chosen sport, Rousey was able to earn the first UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion and the last Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion. She first debuted back in 2010 and has proved her skills fight after fight inside the octagon. One of her most noteworthy fights was with Cat Zingano who she defeated in just 14 seconds.
But apart from her career in MMA, Rousey has decided to try out Hollywood. The 28-year-old fighter has starred in blockbuster action movies "The Expendables 3" and "Fast and Furious 7". This time Rousey will be able to play as herself in the upcoming film "Entourage." In a report by Fox News, the famous sports personality admitted that her biggest challenge in making the film was letting her guard down.
"If you're able to walk into an octagon in the middle of an arena with millions of people watching and the other person across from you has been waking up in the morning dreaming of beating you up for years, and you're able to overcome situations like that, that really puts everything else into perspective," Rousey said. "I have these habits that have been so engrained for years and years of practice. I'm constantly covering my face and the idea is that no one could punch back, but if you're on film, people want to see your face."
Although it seems like she has a hard exterior, she said that people will get to see her soft side when they come to see "Entourage."
"It was nice to kind of give a glimpse of how girly and self-conscious and everything else I could be, when people assume I'm just this callous, tough chick all the time," Rousey added in her interview with Fox News.
The "Entourage" movie stars Adrian Grenier, Kevin Connelly, Jerry Ferrara, Kevin Dillon and Jeremy Piven. Other big Hollywood names such as Liam Neeson, Mark Wahlberg and Jessica Alba will also make their appearance.
The film follows the life of movie star Vincent Chase which is played by Grenier. Together with his friends, the boys are back in business with agent-turned-studio head Ari Gold played by Jeremy Piven.
The movie's initial release date will be on June 3rd in the USA. To catch a glimpse of Rousey and the boys, watch the trailer below.
