Harry Potter-stjärnan blir MMA-fighter

Harry Potter-stjärnan Josh Herdman har mest varit känd som Draco Malfoys vän Goyle i filmerna. Nu har Herdman  blivit MMA-fighter i weltervikt och gjorde nyligen sin debut mot polske fightern Janusz Walachowski under Brad Picketts Rise of Champions i London under lördagen.

Addicted OTR: Is this your next career or something you’re doing purely for enjoyment?

Josh Herdman: I’m doing it because I enjoy it, but I also take it very seriously. It’s in my family’s blood. I like competing and pushing my boundaries.

AOTR: So what made you choose MMA over other combat sports?

JH: I chose MMA because I love the sport. It’s raw, exciting and unpredictable. I find it more interesting than boxing although I appreciate the beauty and art in boxing. It also made sense to move onto MMA because of my jujitsu training.

AOTR: As you’re 29 this year, how long do you think you’ll stay an amateur?

JH: I would like a few amateur fights first to get me started and where it goes from there, who knows?

AOTR: Your last Potter film was released in 2011, since then you’ve had a few tv and film roles, including most recently starring alongside your dad in the film ‘Sink’. Have you fallen out of love with acting or do you think you’ll go back to it at any point?

JH: I haven’t fallen out of love with it, I still have an agent and still go for auditions. It’s just a little bit like playing the lottery for a living.

AOTR: Ok, last question; do you have a fight nickname? Something like ‘The Slytherin Psycho’ or even ‘The Deatheater’?

JH: Ha ha! No, no nickname yet. I’m waiting for someone to give me one!
