VENTURA LOOKALIKE FEELS MORE LIKE RUNWAY MODEL THAN WRESTLER

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- If you've ever wanted to know what it's like to be wrestler-turned-politician Jesse "The Body" Ventura, just ask Nils Allen Stewart. The 37-year-old actor recently finished filming "The Jesse Ventura Story", an NBC TV-movie scheduled to air next month. Stewart, who was a professional wrestler himself back in the '80s, admits he's never actually met Ventura but says he was able to get in his skin once he put on the feather boas and leopard- print jumpsuits. The film's shooting schedule was so short that Stewart claims he felt more like a runway model than a wrestler because he spent so much time changing into wigs, moustaches and costumes.
