Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson looks completely unrecognizable in his latest post, having undergone a shocking body transformation for a new movie role.
The Rock has fielded lots of criticism for basically playing the same person in every movie he does but is set to hit the big screen in one that’s vastly different as he’s playing former UFC fighter Mark Kerr in a film called “The Smashing Machine.”
“I’m at a point in my career where I want to push myself in ways that I’ve not pushed myself in the past,” Johnson said in an interview with Variety this week. “I’m at a point in my career where I want to make films that matter, that explore a humanity and explore struggle [and] pain.”
Well, it appears he’s doing just that.
The Hollywood star donned a wig, covered up his tattoos, and applied heavy makeup to nail the role.
He’s posted a photo to his Instagram account showing himself sitting in the corner of a ring. And you probably wouldn’t know it was him if he didn’t post it.

Fans could not believe it either…
“Yo the makeup team went crazy,” one wrote.
“Give the makeup team the award now,” wrote another.
“That’s some crazy transformation!!! Wow,” another commented.
The Rock Is Taking This Very Seriously
‘The Smashing Machine’ is directed by Benny Safdie and will be a biopic about Kerr, a two-time UFC Heavyweight Champion. The Rock is taking the role seriously; he’s put in the work with MMA training and is looking to get it right down to the makeup.
He’s also done some training with Kerr himself.
The movie has no release date yet, but we’re looking forward to seeing it.
