After making $400 million around the globe, The Housemaid is now getting a highly anticipated sequel. Among the original film’s red-hot stars is Brendan Sklenar, whose career shows no signs of slowing down.
Iran Jane is just one of his upcoming projects, a drama film about female bodybuilders.
“I personally was drawn to it because I grew up in northern New Jersey working in an underground bodybuilding gym,” Sklenar, 36, told The Hollywood Reporter in an article published this week. “When I was 15, I was cleaning the floors, and by 18, I was a trainer, training everybody and running the whole gym…”
The It Ends With Us star continued, “And there is an element of Iron Jane that really goes into body image and body dysmorphia, which is something that I just really feel needs to be talked about more, especially in this age of social media and fitness influencers. This is something I’ve struggled with, so we really wanted to translate that.”
Sklenar further opened up to THR about his personal journey in coping with body dysmorphia.
“It’s something I’ve had since I was a kid. I was a little kid — short, chunky. I swam in a T-shirt and got made fun of,” he said in the Tuesday, November 10 article. “Then I had a growth spurt and became really lanky, and I got made fun of for that. So I started training a lot and got obsessed with working out, like, “I’ll show them.” And then it became a kind of obsession, and it becomes a very weird thing, where you see yourself completely differently than pretty much anybody else does, and usually in not a good way.”
Sklenar continued, “It’s very much an ongoing process. Therapy helps for sure. If you look at me now as a 36-year-old man, you’d never guess it, but I still very much feel like that 12-year-old chunky kid — that sense of nothing is ever good enough. You have to find a way to check your self-talk, because that’s really where it begins and ends — but it’s easier said than done.”
