The Rock, Sly reportedly urge Rob Gronkowski to try movie career

Forget Iron Man. America could soon have Gronk.

Is New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski planning a second career in Hollywood?

That's the word from the Eagle-Tribune in Lawrence, Massachusetts, which reports Gronkowski has been urged by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Sylvester Stallone to try his hand at the movie business.

The paper, citing an unnamed source, said Johnson, a former professional wrestler, and Stallone, of "Rocky" fame, have told Gronkowski he could make millions in action films.

Gronkowski said Sunday, after the Patriots' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII, he would take a few weeks to assess his future and didn't rule out the idea of retiring.
