Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has shocked fans with a dramatic weight loss. Known for his muscle-bound frame, the 52-year-old star now appears noticeably slimmer. He revealed the change at the Toronto Film Festival, leaving many stunned.
“I still have a long way to go,” Johnson admitted during the premiere of The Smashing Machine. He explained the transformation is not for health reasons but for a new role. The former wrestler is preparing to play an eccentric 70-year-old character called “Chicken Man” in the upcoming film Lizard Music.
For decades, Johnson was the face of Hollywood blockbusters like Fast Five and Jumanji. But now he wants more freedom. “I felt I was pigeonholed,” he shared. His latest performance as fighter Mark Kerr has already won critical praise and Oscar buzz.
Fans remain divided. Some worry he looks “frail,” while others admire his bold risk. Whether this is just a role or a turning point, Johnson’s transformation has sparked worldwide debate. What do you think — reinvention or red flag?
