The post featuring photographs and drone footage of Jack sitting atop the billboard, captured by videographer Danny Casillas, was flooded with comments of support from friends and former co-stars of Perry.

In May, Jack revealed on Chris Jericho's \"Talk Is Jericho\" podcast that he is featured as an extra in a scene with Luke in the film.

\"I did some extra work,\" Jack said. \"He's like, 'I want you to be in the same film, or like collection of footage that I'm in' ... and he was really adamant about it. I was like alright dad I'll do it.\"

\"So you may see me sitting behind someone special,\" he continued.

Jack also said that his father was thrilled to be starring in the highly-anticipated film. \"My dad was so excited about that,\" he said. \"That really kind of reinvigorated him and re-energized him. Because he liked \"Riverdale,\" but it was work, it was like his job. He told me -- he's like 'this is like you getting to wrestle Chris Jericho.\"

“He said, ‘If I never work again, I’m happy with this,'\" Jack added.

He was so proud of this, and so am I. Always a stud.

The wrestler said that Tarantino, whom he described as \"a really cool guy,\" told him, \"'I handpicked your dad for this.'\"

\"I guess because his role was kind of symbolic,\" Jack continued. \"He definitely knew he wanted my dad for it.\"
