Mike O’Hearn Wants The He-Man Role

Mike O’Hearn Wants The He-Man Role

A couple of days ago saw bodybuilder and actor Mike O’Hearn mention he is getting ready for the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie, which led to speculation the former American Gladiator is up for the role of He-Man.

Word of O’Hearn possibly playing He-Man has since gone viral with fans responding with enthusiasm on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Now we get more of an update as O’Hearn has taken to his social networks to thank the fans for their support as well as stating he doesn’t have the He-Man role just yet.

I want to thank all the supporters for sending good vibes in hopes I get the role of He-Man. I am working hard everyday so when the opportunity presents itself, I’ll be ready. It’s pretty exciting that Hollywood is talking or has my name on their lips when it comes to this role. The support from the fans is incredibly helpful and really adds confidence to my belief that I’m the right man for it. I’ve been close to large rolls before like Superman and the follow up to The Scorpion King. Hollywood has talked about me in the past for other superhero roles such as Captain America long before Chris Evans booked it. (He did a great job as Captain America). More than just having the look of he-man, I need to stay in class and keep working with the theatrics. Superstar actor and friend Jonathan Schaech is also going to work with me on making sure that my acting is on point. All I can do is keep working to make sure that I am prepared to book this role and do an amazing job! Thank you again for all of your support. To be clear, I do not have the role yet. The Internet is flattering but you can’t believe everything you see on there. Again thank you for all of your support!

This morning I woke up to find out I’m trending on social media. That’s pretty awesome and shows me more than ever that the world wants me to play He-Man just as much as I want the Role. So for all of the love everyone is sending my way, I want to show you my appreciation. For the next 3 days anything you order from @freakoffmyleash will have a 10% discount. Go to www.foml.com to place your order. Let’s go Titan mode. I mean He-Man Mode!
