Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was ready for something more.
After becoming the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, Johnson took Hollywood by storm and quickly became one of the industry’s biggest action stars, harkening back to the days when names like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone ruled the box office. Along the way, Johnson has established himself as one of the most bankable movie stars in the world, with his films grossing over $12.5 billion.
But as much as ‘The Rock’ loves making the big-budget summer blockbuster films, he was ready for a different challenge.
