Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars, is taking on his most physically demanding role yet in the upcoming biopic, The Smashing Machine. The film tells the story of MMA legend Mark Kerr, a two-time UFC Heavyweight Tournament Champion, and Johnson is leaving no stone unturned to get into character.
Johnson, a former WWE champion, has been undergoing rigorous MMA training to get in shape for the role. He recently shared a clip on social media, showcasing highlights of his intense training regime. The video gave a look into the actor’s grueling workout routine, which includes a mix of strength training, cardio, and martial arts.
Johnson’s commitment to his craft is well-known, and his preparation for The Smashing Machine is no exception. The actor has always been dedicated to immersing himself in his characters, and this time, he’s taking it to the next level. By putting himself through a physically demanding training regimen, Johnson aims to bring authenticity to his portrayal of Mark Kerr.
But Johnson’s recent appearance in Chris Janson’s music video, Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get, showed a more emotional side of the actor. In an interview with Janson, Johnson spoke about the importance of country music and how it helped him bond with his father. The usually stoic actor broke down in tears, needing a moment to compose himself.
Johnson later shared the video on social media, joking that he didn’t expect to “cry like a baby.” The moment humanized the actor, showing that even the toughest of guys can be vulnerable.
On the WWE front, Johnson made a surprise appearance on RAW after WrestleMania 40, where he announced that he would be taking a break but promised to return in the future to challenge Cody Rhodes. Fans are eagerly awaiting his return to the ring.
With The Smashing Machine, Johnson is set to deliver another impressive performance, one that will surely resonate with fans of MMA and cinema alike. As he continues to push himself to new heights, one thing is certain – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will stop at nothing to bring this incredible true story to life.
