Orville Peck is living his best life, and honestly, who can blame him? The handsome country crooner is on a roll, and with a major motion picture debut on the horizon, the world is his oyster. Peck is set to star as the sexy and mysterious Vega in the upcoming film adaptation of the iconic video game Street Fighter, and let’s just say, he’s ready to bring the heat!
Recently, Peck has been flexing his muscles—literally—by posting viral workout videos on social media as he prepares for his role. “It’s my first creative venture where I’m not fully in control, so when y’all see things, that’s usually when I’m seeing things. It’s really exciting!” he shared, clearly thrilled about this new chapter in his career. And who wouldn’t be? This is a huge leap from his music roots!
But don’t think for a second that Peck is just a pretty face in a film. He’s also hard at work in the studio, crafting new music for his loyal fans. Following the release of his latest EP, Appaloosa, which featured a steamy cameo from Zane Phillips, Peck is teasing even more new tunes. “I’ve been working on it for three years now. That’s just been wrapped up, so there’s a lot of new stuff coming. I just feel grateful that I get to do this for a living and that never escapes me,” he said, reminding us all that hard work pays off.
As if that wasn’t enough, Peck is gearing up to hit the road for a European tour, with performances scheduled across Mexico, Europe, and the United States throughout the year. “I’ll be around! I’m doing a little European tour and doing a little excursion through Europe, so I don’t know if I’ll be performing at Pride, but you’ll maybe catch me at one of the European Prides,” he hinted. Can you imagine the fabulousness of seeing him perform at Pride? We can already hear the cheers!
Mark your calendars, folks! Street Fighter hits theaters on October 16, and we can’t wait to see Peck bring Vega to life. With his charm and talent, he’s sure to make waves both on screen and in the music world. Stay tuned, because Orville Peck is just getting started, and we’re here for every fabulous moment!
