Ronda Rousey's "Expendables 3" performance was given praises by her fellow cast members, as "Rowdy" reveals that she is comfortable with the all-male setting during production.
Ronda Rousey's "Expendables 3" appearance came off as a success as the cast members gathered for the film's premiere on Monday, at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
In a report by Yahoo! Sports, the current UFC women's bantamweight champion played the role of Luna, which was given to her by one of the film's A-List cast members, Sylvester Stallone.
Ronda Rousey's "Expendables 3" appearance was alongside today's Hollywood male icons, namely Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and fellow fighters such as former UFC two-division champion Randy "The Natural" Couture, and former WBC welterweight boxing champion Victor Ortiz.
"Rowdy's" fellow cast members had nothing but good things to say about the female mixed martial arts champion, who made her acting debut through the "Expendables" franchise's third film.
"Ronda is absolutely a phenomenon," Sylvester Stallone said. "She's beautiful. She's tough. And she's orignal. Outspoken. Very fresh. Not guarded. We're lucky to have her."
Veteran actor Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted that being in the presence of someone like Ronda Rousey left him in awe.
"She's unbelievable," Schwarzenegger said. "To see someone that is the UFC world champion and to show that skill in the movie is really remarkable. I was in awe of her performance."
Given the plot and cast members of the "Expendables 3", it is expected that production would be testosterone-charged. However, Ronda Rousey claimed that this never bothered her.
"To be honest, I'm really comfortable in an all-male setting. I grew up in gyms doing judo or MMA," Rousey said in another interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "I was always the sore thumb. People did not want me there, and I felt like an annoyance. But I was like, 'You know what? I'm not going to cry.' So I 'Million Dollar Baby'-d the hell out of my coach! That was pretty much how that went down."
