It would all be turned around though. That dry spell would come to an end by bagging the role of Drax in theGuardians of the Galaxy. In an interview with IGN in 2021, he said,
“When I got the role of Drax in Guardians, I barely worked in three years… And then when I got [cast], not only because I was broke, [everything changed]. When I say broke, my house was foreclosed, I had nothing, man. I sold all my stuff. I sold everything that I made from [when] I was wrestling. I had issues with the IRS. I was just lost in everything.”
