Twine ‘The Rock’ Johnson, a professional wrestler who is most famous for playing large, muscular strong films in countless action films over the years, lost many kilograms. Unlike your average American, the weight loss in question is not fat. One of the strongest leading Hollywood leading men decays the muscle.

The actor’s photos raised the eyebrows of the last week. Some guessed it had to do it with stopping steroids. Regardless of the reason, it was a clear and quite a great difference.

This was still surprising given Rock’s new movie A24, Breaking machine From the director of Benny Safdie. The only thing that differs in connection with Johnson’s appearance in that film was quite shocking full head hair:

I honestly couldn’t recognize him if I don’t know better. The breaking machine becomes a solid opinion on Rotn tomatoes after debut at the Venice Film Festival. The film represents a big shift for Johnson. It is a story about MMA combat brand KERR as it deals with glory, wealth, drug addict and other personal fights. The film took over the audience in Venice, earned the fifteenth-minute permanent ovations that the actor brought to tears. Safdie hugged Johnson and his Emily Blunt during the ovation, crying next to him. Real-Life Kerr joined in the water supply.

The variety called the scene “The most emotional premiere at Lido since Brendan Fraser crashed in tears four years ago, launched his Oscar campaign for Whale. “

Which returns us to Johnson’s mysterious weight loss. It turns out that the actor now tastes like movies outside its usual OEVRE. Spilling muscle weight (received 30 kilograms of muscles to its already magnificent physics Breaking machine) is for another role in another folika with protection Lizard Music.

In the film, the 53-year actor will play 70-something year who is friends with a 70-year chicken. He called chicken. Which means two things:

First, this is a movie about the chicken and a man called Chicken Man called Lizard Music. It is quite strange and quite obvious as it is outside rock’s wheels. We’ve come a long time Black adamClearly.

Second, “(that means) eat fewer chicken,” rock He said in an interview About the upcoming film. One would hoped that the chicken man, a friend of ancient chickens, eat fewer chicken, after all. Of course, it is mostly about protein. The muscle loss (the act of a little small fatal wipes would ever dream, we have enough difficult to put it) requires less protein in your diet.

The film is an adjustment 1976 Daniel Pinkwater Novel It is the same name. While the rock plays chicken man, a book – I haven’t read yet – sounds like a wild ride. Summary of Goodreads reads: “When it remains to take care of himself, the young man turns into a community of intelligent lizards who tell him a little known invasion from space.”

The weight loss is not lasting, although obviously becomes harder and harder to put muscle as we grow old. “The movies I made in the past, I love them,” Johnson said. “I’ll be back to do them again.” When we talk about it, the rock returns to the set Jumanji 3 In November.
