WWE wrestler Hornswoggle lashes out at Peter Dinklage over Snow White remake comments
Peter Dinklage is one of the most familiar and respected actors in the world today. He is known for generally avoiding too much public attention, but his recent comments on Disney’s Snow White remake have taken the world by storm. Everyone from the film-making industry to people suffering from dwarfism have had mixed reactions about the issue, the latest public response comes from WWE wrestler Hornswoggle.
Dylan Postl aka WWE’s Hornswoggle, who himself suffers from the syndrome, was quite offended by the Game of Thrones actor’s remark, and said in an interview with the Daily Mail, “It makes me so sick to my stomach to think that there are seven roles for dwarfs that can’t get normal acting roles, or very few and far between roles, and now they are gone because of this guy. Peter Dinklage is the biggest dwarf actor probably of all time but it doesn’t make him king dwarf.”
“When he was cast as a little person role in Lord of the Rings or in a Game of Thrones or in Elf or this that or the other thing… those cheques cashed just fine. He had no issue then. But now he wants to be progressive? Come on man.”
“I don’t know if Peter Dinklage is still acting or if he is done now but I don’t know… it’s pretty selfish. People came before him. If it is his mindset that he wants to be the only one then you gotta grow up man. It’s not helping our community it’s taking jobs away from our community that are very few and far between as it is.”
“We are in a society and a time of woke and progression and I get that – to an extent- but this is a fairytale. This is a fairytale about Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Dwarves are one of the focuses – they are literally in the title.”
Postl finished by reminding everyone that the dwarves in the story of Snow White are the heroes and he says he’d be more than happy to play one of the roles in the film:
“It’s so stupid, it’s just dumb. You’re doing worse for the community than better. The story is now “Snow White and the Seven Normal Sized People.” It’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.”

“Also, they all each have their own individual characteristics, they look after Snow White, they’re the heroes. This is a good thing! To be in a remake of one of the biggest fairytales, biggest Disney stories of all time, would be enormous. I know me and six other little people who would love this role. Disney – call me. This would be a dream role for me. I am begging for one.”
