Johnson Dwayne “The Rock” is beginning an MMA training camp to prepare for his upcoming film about Mark Kerr right after landing a significant role at WrestleMania.
Johnson first revealed in 2019 that he would be the lead actor in a biopic about Mark Kerr, the former NCAA Division I champion currently a PRIDE FC and UFC fighter. Though Hollywood moves slowly, The Smashing Machine project, produced by independent production company A24 (Civil War, Midsommar), is almost ready to go into production. Emily Blunt is speculated to co-star with director Benny Safdie, best known for Uncut Gems.
Johnson is known for keeping himself in excellent physical condition, but as he ages, he never ceases to challenge the norm. A new video demonstrating “The Rock’s” training for mixed martial arts has recently surfaced. He captioned the video when he posted it to his Instagram account.
