Anthony Robles, who won the NCAA wrestling championship in 2011 despite being born with only one leg, is having his incredible life story turned into a movie called “Unstoppable.” The film is based on his 2013 memoir and stars Jharrel Jerome as Robles. Jennifer Lopez plays his mother, Judy, while other famous actors like Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, and Don Cheadle also join the cast.
In “Unstoppable,” we get to see Robles’ early life in Mesa, Arizona. He and his four half-siblings went through tough times, especially with their mother’s husband. The movie also shows his journey through college at Arizona State University, where he became a wrestling champion.
Robles worked closely with the movie’s team, including director William Goldenberg and producers Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. He was thankful that Ben and Matt made sure his family was involved in the filmmaking process. He even trained with Jharrel Jerome for the wrestling scenes, and they became good friends.
Robles wants everyone to know that everyone faces challenges in life, whether they are physical, mental, or in relationships. He believes that no matter who you are or where you come from, we all have tough moments to tackle.
