Eva Marie was one of the most divisive women to ever step foot in a WWE ring, but whether you liked her or not, wrestling fans were always talking about her. But Eva has since decided to walk a different career path, and she left WWE earlier this year to focus on acting, modeling, and other activities.

The former WWE Superstar recently spoke to GQ about acting career, and she noted that acting and wrestling are much more similar than some people may think.

“Honestly, they are very similar. In the ring, you’re constantly working out and honing your craft, and you’re doing the same thing with acting, too—taking classes and working with vocal coaches. I think the thing that stands out for me is that in the WWE, we were in a new city every night. When you go to a movie set, though, you get to be at the same location for awhile. I had become very used to not even bothering to unpack my suitcase. Suddenly, it was like, “Oh wow, I get to stay in one place!”

Even though Eva isn’t wrestling anymore, she’s still constantly in the gym, but she says that her workouts have changed and she’s going for a different look.

“Oh, my workouts have definitely changed. In WWE, I focused more on Olympic lifting. I had to make sure that I was physically able to lift another human being at all times. Now, I’m going for a different, leaner look. High-intensity interval training and Tabata workouts are really good for me, because they prevent me from getting bored, and don’t require me to be in the gym for two hours. I can get in, do what I need to do, and get out.”
