Although The Rock sports his hulking physique in the role, it’s evident he has prosthetics on his face and also is donning a full head of hair, something we haven’t seen from the star in quite some time.
With production underway for the iconic movie role, fans are excited to see The Rock continue his role as Mark Kerr. The Rock is far from the only actor taking part in jaw-dropping transformations. Australian heartthrob Chris Hemsworth transformed his look for his action-packed role in Furiosa.
In addition to Johnson and Hemsworth, legendary actor Mark Wahlberg also took on a near-unrecognizable physique transformation. He documented his journey of gaining over 20 pounds in three weeks and also showed off his unbelievable 11,000-calorie diet to gain weight for his role in Father Stu.
Michael Jai White has experience sculpting his physique for movie roles. He recently walked fans through his head-turning explosive back workout that he uses to mold his physique to be on par with that of a superhero. There’s no denying the challenges that actors face when it comes to high-profile physique transformations.
While celebrity trainers would like to see actors come clean about how they achieve their physiques, it’s safe to say The Rock out-performed expectations. Having assumed the identity of a merciless MMA legend out for glory, Johnson’s depiction of the icon is sure to be spot-on, especially after witnessing his first sneak peek into the project.
Portraying the life of a celebrated MMA legend with acting star Emily Blunt, The Rock continues to operate in Hollywood outside of his comfort zone. Given that production is already in progress, fans can’t wait to see what comes of The Rock’s time in ‘The Smashing Machine.’
