It's been a fair old while since we've seen Sheamus on our screens. In fact I'm struggling to remember anything he's done since that disastrous main-event finish between Kofi Kingston and Seth Rollins on the Raw after WrestleMania. My god lads, what were they thinking.

He's busing himself in the acting world though, and his next gig is The Buddy Games, a Josh Duhamel-directed comedy movie in which a group of friends challenge each other to what IMDB refers to as "a wild assortment of absurd physical and mental challenges".

Sounds awful, but the cast is actually half-decent (as long as you define half-decent as "people you've heard of before"). Duhamel himself will star as one in the lead roles, opposite Olivia Munn and Dax Sheppard. Sheamus' character is named "Thursty", though, which kind of raises the alarm bells. You just know there's going to be a really lame running gag about him being Irish and drinking too much alcohol.

Expected Release: It Debuted At The Mammoth Film Festival Back In February, But No News Since
