“Unstoppable,' about the one-legged wrestler Anthony Robles, was one of the most-anticipated premieres of the Toronto International Film Festival.

He had done something that was, by any measure, extraordinary.
“That’s honestly how I felt going through my life,” says Robles, who redshirted as a freshman at Arizona State University. “I was constantly fighting something, whether it was on the mat against a flesh-and-blood opponent or it was in my family or the world. There was always something I was fighting against. All those things, that frustration got channeled inside me. But wrestling was my outlet.”
Jerome, the talented 26-year-old actor of “Moonlight” and “I’m a Virgo,” first met Robles in 2020. Robles wanted to meet in a gym. “Missing my leg, he’d see how I interact with people,” says Robles. “People would just look at me because I’m a little bit different, how that motivated me. That was something that I couldn’t really explain with words. Him just seeing it and being around it, he could feel it after a while.”
Robles, 36, who’s married and has a young son, now coaches wrestling at his old high school in Mesa, Arizona. But stepping back on the mat, in gymnasiums decorated to look just like those he experienced his greatest triumphs in, was surreal. But much of “Unstoppable” focuses on Robles’ relationship with his mother. Robles' strength, he says, comes from family and faith.
