The Rock’s Shocking Slim-Down: Why Dwayne Johnson is losing even more weight for his next big role
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has once again shocked fans with a jaw-dropping change—this time, to prepare for his next Hollywood challenge of over 30 pounds.
A WWE legend saw the global superstar at the Venice Film Festival, which was discussing his new look. But here is the kicker—it is not even for a smashing machine.
A new role, a new change
In a clear chat with Variety, The Rock revealed that director Beni Safi (who worked with him on the smashing machine) gave him a completely new project. Johnson did not hesitate to accept this: “I’m your chicken man.”
Daniel Pinkwater-inspired film follows a bizarre story of a person whose best friend is a 70-year-old chicken. Yes, you read that right. And to actually embrace the role, Rock admitted that it still needs to be thinner:
“I still have a long way to go … It means eating less chicken.”
Hollywood and WWE: Balancing both worlds
While Johnson is still ready for his most unexpected role, wrestling fans have not been forgotten. Rumors suggest that Rock may return to WWE—possibly for a blockbuster clash with John Cena in his retirement match. His last WWE attendance came at the Elimination Chamber, where he played a major role in Cena’s shocking heel turn.
Whether it is a Hollywood transformation or a WWE Dream Match, The Rock once again proves that he is always ready to electrify fans in ways that no one sees.
