I never look, what I call, beyond the cloth, beyond the felt. You never look,\u2019 he smiled.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You\u2019re so encapsulated by this person, this creature, talking to you!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He wasn\u2019t the only one, with co-star Danny Trejo frequently holding things up because \u2018he just just interacting with Muppets all day, every day between shoots\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/metro-parent\/img\/fallback.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Hornswoggle \u2013 who has plenty of Muppet tattoos \u2013 landed his role after meeting the Muppets and some of their performers when Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and the crew guest hosted an episode of Raw.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I thought it was gonna be one scene drinking coffee in the background, and it turned out to be half the movie. It was such a cool experience and such a wonderful time,\u2019 he beamed.<\/p>\n<p>When he first met them at Raw, he was \u2018just physically shaking\u2019 all day, as he ticked off a true bucket list experience getting to work with the Muppets so closely.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018When they came to life in front of me it was just this \u2013 I froze, I literally froze,\u2019 he recalled, noting that he made the most of the opportunity by bringing two big posters for everyone to sign.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Miss Piggy gets a kiss from Hornswoggle\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M5SfvrMp6_g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u2018They signed it as every one of the characters they portray on these posters. It is so cool to me to have now, they\u2019re hanging in my basement,\u2019 he said. \u2018It\u2019s one of those things where, again, it\u2019s incredible to see it come to life. You just don\u2019t notice anything beyond the felt, you really don\u2019t.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>When it came to making Muppets Most Wanted, Hornswoggle had already met the gang and got used to being around them, but it was still a truly magical experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It was a little different for me because I was around them in WWE. But still, now being on set surrounded by Muppet characters \u2013 man, this is nuts,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018And then my main scene was just me, and Animal, and Fozzie and Walter. This is me! This is literally my scene! This is crazy! Being like, \u201cOh man, this is real. This is actually happening, and this is something I\u2019ll remember for the rest of my life.\u201d \u2018<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cuw4nZnuo04\/<\/p>\n<p>His love for the Muppets has become something he can share with his teenage son Landon, and when they guest hosted Raw back in 2011 they even made sure to send a message to him because he was ill and couldn\u2019t make the show.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018[Landon] was really, really sick with a horrible cold. Animal called him on FaceTime and it was one of the coolest things, man,\u2019 he smiled. \u2018He called me back immediately nad it was literally like he talked to Santa Claus.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He goes, \u201cDad, Animal called me and he wants me to get better!\u201d It was a cool thing for me that they didn\u2019t need to do.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/metro-parent\/img\/fallback.png\"><\/p>\n<p>The father and son duo also shared a bond watching recent Disney+ series Muppets Mayhem together, and Hornswoggle is desperate to land a role if they decide to make a second season.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Legitimately, it\u2019s a bucket list. If they do a season two of Muppets Mayhem, I need to be drinking coffee in the background, I need to do something. That show was such an amazing, amazing project that they put out,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018That\u2019s my relax to this day, Muppet movies! If I just need to sit back and enjoy a movie, that\u2019s what I watch to this day because I can escape everything. I love it.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>There is a certain magic in the suspension of disbelief, and it\u2019s something Muppets share with few art forms as closely as the world of WWE, and professional wrestling as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Almost like pro wrestling, you can\u2019t watch it, you can\u2019t watch an interview with The Muppets, or a Muppet production, without having a smile on your face, he laughed. \u2018If you do, you\u2019re truly heartless!\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Keep up with Hornswoggle on the\u00a0Going Postl\u00a0podcast.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<strong><em>Check out the free version on\u00a0YouTube.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2023\/09\/10\/wwe-star-hornswoggle-reveals-secret-to-working-with-the-muppets-19468205\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to The Muppets, you don\u2019t get much more knowledgeable or passionate than former WWE superstar Hornswoggle.
