Last week, The Rock was full of surprises. The actor is getting Oscar buzz for his performance in The Smashing Machine. But that was not all.
The football player-turned-wrestler-turned-actor has always been muscular. However, people were also talking about how his suit was loose and his frame appeared thinner on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival. But he did not explain his sudden weight loss.
Today, he explained his slimmed-down look to the press at the Toronto International Film Festival. According to Variety, he is reteaming with The Smashing Machine’s director Benny Safdie to star in Lizard Music as a man 20 years his senior whose only friend is a chicken.
So far, DJ has lost 30 pounds, and he says a lot more to go. One of the ways he is doing that is by eating a lot less of his only friend in the upcoming movie.
It sounds like if TSM doesn’t get him an Oscar nomination, Lizard Man will.
The Rock spends so much time in the makeup chair that he has become accustomed to being beautified. While he might not love doing that, he loves it when his little girls, Jasmine, 9, and Tia, 7, make him their own personal makeup model.
8:57am my two little tornadoes beg me to let them have a make up party on my head.
8:59am I agree to the torture.
9:04am they get into a huge fight over “the kind” of make up they’re going to give me so they decide to split my face down the middle and each one of them can do whatever they want to “their side” of daddy’s face
10:17am I’m in the shower realizing this s#%t takes forever to wash off.
11am zoom meeting, realizing I still have nail polish on ♂️♂️
But in the end when it’s time to tuck ‘em in to bed, and kiss ‘em goodnight – you remember quick that they’re only little once and you’d do anything to make ‘em laugh and smile.
Thanks for the classic Roy , daddy needs a tequila or three
I think he prefers how the pros make him look. Even though I prefer what his daughters do to their dad. I especially love how much he loves spending his time with them.
The Rock is a girl dad. Because of that, his little girls love to put makeup on him and he just sits there and takes it.
He knows that this phase won’t last forever. So, he loves having Jasmine, 9, and Tia, 6, doll him up. Even if that means he will have to go out in public with his new look.
That is what a good girl dad does. That, and he is an actor. He is used to having makeup put on him, granted, not like that. But still.
The Rock has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but his party trick doesn’t involve his sleeves.
DJ sat down with Entertainment Weekly, and they asked him what his party trick is. He told them he has two.
The first one is for kids and does Maui for them. He even has pecks dance for them while he sings a song from the film. And I am sure they love it.
His other one is not PG-13. “With tequilla, I do this thing where I can pick up a grape,” he said. What is so special and naughty about that? He added, “Not with my hands. Not my feet. Not even my mouth,” he told them, much to the dismay of his publicist.
I love that one so much. I want to see him do it. I can do it too! Not with my hands, feet, mouth, or butt.
Can The Rock and Chris Evans save Christmas? That is what we will find out on November 15th when Red One holds us hostage in theaters.
After a villain kidnaps Santa (J.K. Simmons) from the North Pole, an E.L.F (Extremely Large and Formidable) operative (Dwayne Johnson) must partner with the world’s most accomplished tracker (Chris Evans) to find Santa and save Christmas.
Out of all of the things that excited me about this trailer, my favorite part was seeing Bonnie Hunt! The actress needs to be cast more often because she is awesome in everything she does!
Oh wait, I am also looking forward to the Killing Snowman Machines!
