“I was really excited that they thought of me, it was an awesome experience,” VanZant said to the Sun. “It was a quick three days, I made sure I condensed it to three days so that I wouldn't miss very much training.”
“I was able to train, because I have some amazing coaches in LA too. But yeah, it's an awesome new movie.”
“It's going to be a horror movie - so all the horror fans can get ready for it.” VanZant’s acting debut has been crowbarred into her phenomenally training schedule.
The American is still preparing for her upcoming bare-knuckle clash against Charis Sigala in London. VanZant faces off against her US counterpart in London for BKFC 27.
And VanZant admitted it was hard work trying to fit in her commitment to Triller, as well has her training. “I really hadn't had anything on my mind about acting at this second, just because I have my fight coming up,” she added. “But I would love to continue to act, I had a great time.”
“This was my first movie role and it was honestly an amazing experience. I only got to be there three days, which is unfortunate because I fell in love with the cast, they were super special and all very nice.”
