And I want them to know that it’s OK to be themselves and look how they want to look. I imagine that’s a blessing and a curse in some ways because, if you’re out in public, you’re just trying to have a day off. It’s just it’s been fun to watch his evolution and him grow into the Latino Heat that he is today. I think right now I would love to have Dom Dom induct me. I’m saying what I want to say and I’m doing what I want to do. And it’s really cool because that’s where a lot of people get connected to your character as well because they get to interact more with you since you’re not just focused on the camera. Because I want them to know that you don’t always have to please people in your life. But if I’m outside of work I’ll be nicer to them, and I’ll encourage them to do whatever they want, because obviously, I want people to feel comfortable in their own skin. Q: I’ve seen video of you at house shows where you interact with people along the aisle and like you know, your main character is trying to scare people or interact in different ways. And I think a lot of us grew in that period of time. And it’s funny, because that’s not just Rhea Ripley, but that’s me as a person.
