‘I’d Never Say Never’ – Jonathan Haggerty Teases Possible Acting Career Ahead Of ONE SAMURAI 4
A different spotlight has caught the attention of the ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Champion recently.
In the world of ONE Championship, Jonathan "The General" Haggerty is known for delivering thrilling performances. Recently, he has started contemplating a shift to the red carpet. Haggerty will defend his ONE Bantamweight Kickboxing World Championship title against former divisional champion Hiroki Akimoto at ONE SAMURAI 4 in Tokyo's Ariake Arena on October 17.
However, his interests in the limelight extend beyond the ring. Haggerty has attended film premieres in the UK, including the London premiere of From the World of John Wick: Ballerina in June and the biopic Giant, about boxing icon Naseem Hamed, in January. Haggerty expressed his enjoyment of these events and hinted at the possibility of a future acting career.
He stated, "I’m enjoying going to all these premieres, so if there’s a day I get the offer to become part of a big movie, I’d never say never. I’d love to be part of a big Hollywood movie. I think I’ll thrive." Haggerty attributes his newfound confidence to his success in the ring and his interactions with celebrities in the film industry.
He also revealed his interest in a biopic about his own career, with Daniel Craig as the ideal actor to portray him. Haggerty hopes the film would chronicle his rise to the World Championship and end with a powerful knockout.
