This WWE veteran has publicly slammed Peter Dinklage again.
A few years ago, Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage caused an uproar in Hollywood with his comments on the Snow White remake. He called out both the story and the roles as dwarves “backwards.” Following this, Disney shared a statement about “rethinking” the roles. While Dinklage’s comments left many upset. WWE veteran Hornswoggle was left fuming.
Now, a couple of years after his original comments, former Cruiserweight Champion Hornswoggle addressed the incident, and publicly slammed Dinklage again. Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast, Swoggle claimed,
“F*ck you Peter Dinklage, piece of sh*t. F*cking hate him. He costed so many people in my community jobs with that Snow White bullsh*t, it p*sses me off. I think he wanted to make a statement, and he thought he was making some cool, hip thing. But it wasn’t. When he did Elf, that check cashed just fine. Tyrion Lannister was a role for a little person. He cashed that check for all those years.
I’m okay not going out for Brad Pitt’s role. Give me Grumpy or Happy or Sleepy. Major Disney remake? Yeah! Come on. Then you’re gonna have seven dwarves. Then there are extras, then there’s stunt doubles that are all gonna get paid. And he f*cked it.”

In the same interview with Chris Van Vliet, Hornswoggle opened up on his favorite WrestleMania memory. Reflecting on a few such incidents, he said,
“I always go back between 23, the bump from Ken, and 24. 24, that match was because of me. And that’s not an ego thing, it was written because of me, because of my role. It’s crazy. Having an entrance at WrestleMania and that was my first day back with WrestleMania. Insane. Love it.”
