The Rock and John Cena mentoring Irish WWE star Becky Lynch for acting career

Irish WWE Superstar Becky Lynch is beginning to make waves in the acting world - and she has two big Hollywood and wrestling heavyweights behind her.

The Dubliner has been a fan favourite over the last 18 months and has saw her profile skyrocket - so much so that the showbiz world has come knocking.

Lynch has already bagged herself a start in the industry, making a cameo appearance in TV Series 'Billions'.

She has opened up on her hopes of following in the footsteps of WWE greats that took the leap to Hollywood, and is already being mentored by Hollywood stars Dwatne 'The Rock' Johnson and John Cena.

"[The Rock has] actually he's been very helpful in guiding me," Lynch told TMZ.

"He's just being very giving and I think they all are because they've all been there and they're all ready to look after the next generation."

"Cena's also been so great to me and so generous with his time and his advice, checks up on me on what I'm doing now. I think everybody wants to see the next generation move to where they've been, ya know?!"

But despite having her foot firmly in the door, Lynch isn't walking away from the ring just yet.

She added: "Look, I just love performing. I love being able to get it out there, but I also love a crowd. So, as long as I can wrestle, then I'm going to be doing that."
