And it gets better…
💥 Emily Blunt Also Scored a Nomination
Blunt, who stars alongside The Rock in The Smashing Machine, snagged a nomination for Best Supporting Actress — proving this film might be a bigger awards contender than anyone expected.
🎥 Box Office? Forget It — The Rock Says This Movie Changed Him
Even though the movie didn’t smash the box office (earning less than half its $50 million budget), The Rock says this project wasn’t about money — it was about evolution.
In a powerful statement to The Hollywood Reporter, he revealed:
“Smashing Machine represents a turning point in my career… I made a film to challenge myself, to rip myself open, to disappear and transform. Not one time did I think about box office.”
This is The Rock like fans have never seen him before — vulnerable, intense, and completely committed.
🏆 Will The Rock Bring Home the Golden Globe?
All eyes are now on January 11, when the winners are announced. If he wins, it will be one of the biggest “Hollywood comeback moments” in recent memory.
🔥 Meanwhile in WWE…
Though his Hollywood career is exploding again, The Rock has also had a buzzworthy 2025 in WWE. He played a major part in John Cena’s shocking heel turn earlier this year — but mysteriously vanished from TV afterward.
Outside the ring, he’s also making power moves as a TKO Board of Directors member.
The world asked for The Rock to take on deeper roles — and he delivered.
Now the only question is: Will he walk out with the Golden Globe?
Stay tuned… because this story is just getting started.
