"Pitch Perfect 2" is now playing in theaters, and a handful of Green Bay Packers, including star linebacker Clay Matthews, play a supporting part in the movie. If you haven't already heard about the "Pitch Perfect" sequel, here's a trailer that aired during this year's Super Bowl.

Sack dances apparently translate well to the big screen, because Matthews, as well as offensive linemen T.J. Lang, Josh Sitton, Don Barclay and David Bakhtiari, crushed their spot in the film.

Recently, "Pitch Perfect 2" co-star Skylar Astin joined The Rich Eisen Show and described what it was like working with the Packers on the set, saying they treated it like a "big game." Although Astin said they were nervous at first, Matthews and the rest of the Packers were like acting vets by the end of the filming.

In question during the interview is Matthews' decision to do his trademark flex in the film. Was the sack-master really reluctant, as Astin suggests, or was he ready and willing to show off his bulging biceps on the big screen?

Watch Astin's interview on The Rich Eisen Show below.
