This Friday, the Salman Khan epic Veer, directed by Anil Sharma, will release worldwide. The film, which Salman wrote, has been a dream project for the actor for about 20 years. The trailers certainly show how huge the film has turned out to be and looks fantastic! In the trailer, you see a glimpse of a big fight that takes place in a huge arena. In the battle, Salman is fighting an Englishman named Rhino. Who portrays Rhino you may ask? None other than the Dutch Bodybuilder Roy Bronsgeest.
31-year-old construction worker Roy Bronsgeest lives a quiet life with his wife and son in the Netherlands. Bodybuilding plays a large part in his life and that's why he trains about four days a week to keep his body in shape. He has also participated in competitions and won many. He was seen in a music video of DJ Fedde Le Grand and performed with a famous Dutch singer on stage, but he he has never been in a movie.
That changed when Roy was approached by the bodybuilding association of the Netherlands. The association had been approached by chairman Amit Swami of the Indian bodybuilding Association looking for an actor to fit the part of Rhino. "They were looking for this tall, muscular guy with European looks. They had a very clear image of the character Rhino and they saw that in me," says Roy.
"He is the unbeatable gladiator from Great Britain. Eventually I will have to fight Veer to win the princess. The winner gets to marry her. The English delegation is positive that Veer is no competition for Rhino." Roy was quite excited about the role he was offered. "I am this really quiet guy so it was a lot of fun and interesting to play the part of a gladiator who is bursting with anger. I think a lot of relatives and friends will be very surprised to see me like that." He adds that playing a gladiator was also like a boy's dream come true. "As a kid, I used to play knights with friends and we would fight each other. And then suddenly, 25 years later, you are standing in India, in this huge arena, actually playing a gladiator."
