Who the fook is that guy?!?
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has transformed into Mark Kerr.
The former WWE champion will play the embattled mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran in “The Smashing Machine” movie coming in 2025. Hollywood leading ladies Emily Blunt and Lyndsey Gavin are also attached to the project, directed by Benny Safdie.
A24 released the first photo earlier today on social media.
“I’m learning daily and it’s been a very humbling, intense and motivating journey into this world of combat and becoming Mark Kerr, the two-time UFC Heavyweight Tournament Champion and World Vale Tudo Champion,” Johnson said. “I’m a hard worker, but I realized that I’d have to work harder with this role than anything I’ve ever worked for in my life. This physicality is just one part of the larger journey, that is truly a team effort. Growing and grateful.”
Johnson is currently training MMA to bring authenticity to the role.
