Thanks to Colm Gillespie for passing along the following interview recap:
WWE star Sheamus discussed his background with the Irish Central website. The 31 year-old Dublin native and former IT professional, actor, and security guard for the likes of U2’s Bono and British TV Presenter, Denise van Outen said he always wanted to be a pro wrestler. “People said I was crazy, I was working all the jobs back home,” he said. “But anything is possible if you put your mind to it.”
“I wanted to do this my whole life,” Sheamus continued. “I did whatever it took to get noticed and get experience. I traveled in shows throughout Ireland, the UK, Italy, and Portugal. I honed my craft and proved my experience.”
Sheamus also laughed off the jabs he gets over his skin color. “Yeah, I’m like an alien in Tampa,” he said. “I’m the whitest man there, and I’m always going around in hoodies.”
