THE story of a boy from the Welsh valleys who transformed himself into an iconic wrestling superstar had been adapted for the silver screen.

You May Be Pretty, But I Am Beautiful: The Adrian Street Story, features interviews both in the U.K. and U.S. with wrestling stars such as WWE’s Mick Foley, Adrian’s family, colleagues, friends, wrestling fans and the man himself Adrian Street.

Two contrasting strands of Adrian’s life are explored - how he escapes a bleak childhood and his Technicolor rise to wrestling infamy.

You May Be Pretty, But I Am Beautiful: The Adrian Street Story was conceived after Director Joann Randles endeavour to find a real story that was untold but unique.

She wanted to find a story that would not only resonate with audiences but would also be compelling and thoroughly entertaining. In Adrian Joann saw a story about a young man, who against all the odds, pursued his dreams and paved the way for change.
