The Rock looks unrecognisable in first glimpse of new role in film starring alongside Oleksandr Usyk

The Rock Unrecognizable in New Film

The Rock, real name Dwayne Johnson, has undergone a dramatic physical transformation for his upcoming film, “The Smashing Machine.” The film, which is slated for release in 2025, tells the story of legendary MMA fighter Mark Kerr, and Johnson will portray the title role.

In a first-look image from the film, Johnson is seen seated inside a boxing ring, and his appearance is almost unrecognizable at first glance. His face is gaunt and weathered, and he is sporting a shaved head and a thick mustache. The transformation is a testament to Johnson’s commitment to the role, and it has generated a lot of buzz on social media.

Fans React to The Rock’s Transformation

Fans have taken to social media to react to The Rock’s new look, with many expressing their amazement at his transformation. One fan wrote, “Truly was wondering why this wasn’t depicting either of those actors at first.” Another said, “The transformation is so unreal and I like it.” A third added, “Rock really diving into this role. Can’t recognize him at all.”

Some fans have even compared Johnson’s new look to that of former UFC and WWE star Ken Shamrock. However, it is unclear at this time what direction The Rock will take when he returns to WWE. He has teased a future match against Rhodes, but it remains to be seen what the future holds for the iconic wrestler.
