Darby Allin Reveals Why He Paints Half His Face

Darby Allin got his big break last year when he signed with All Elite Wrestling, and he has become a fan favorite over the last few months.

Allin has a unique look and he’s known for painting half his face, but there’s a method to his madness.

During an interview with the New York Post the AEW star opened up about the face paint, and he said that when he was 5 years old he survived a car crash which killed his uncle, who was driving drunk.

According to Allin the crash left him feeling half dead inside, which is why he paints half his face.

“Just because everybody thinks, ‘Ah, this guy, he’s painting his [face] — it must be for like “ha ha cool” or “badass creepy” [reason].’ Like, no, there is a story behind it, and I want people to know it right away to get it over it with. I wanted to open up to people right away.”

While talking about his future goals with AEW, Allin said that he wants to main event a pay-per-view for the company, and that he also wants to face Kenny Omega because he feels they can creat “something unique and different.”
