"He was not lucky".... he came from a wrestling family that started his career smoothly compared to those who would never get that. He was lucky. AND he worked hard to continue his streak by being a hard worker. Everyone is lucky to some degree. It depends whether you embrace your luck or let it slip by.

He got accepted to a football program after only 2 years, he was immediately pushed forward in the WWE, and he was in the Guinness world book of records for the highest salary for a debut actor. He was accepted by every industry, he just almost failed in every industry and learned to reinvent himself. Which is equally as impressive as just sheer determination.

I think the fear of the instability he had during his childhood is what drives him, not necessarily ego. When you grow up in poverty, moving from place to place, like so many do, you'll do whatever it takes to survive. I think he's honestly just concerned about returning to nothing, and now he also has the burden of a production company which means he's worried about keeping the money rolling in. Despite Black Adam being an absolute trash heap, I hope he continues to find success. My earliest and fondest memories of him were in the ring, it's nice to see him still getting work (and creating work, essentially).

WWE be petty. Sort of. Pat used WrestleMania footage i believe. That's bread & butter right there. WWE have been able to prove mere seconds are substantial content to warrant such strikes. As an insider in pro wrestling I'm torn becuase i understand how in theory at least it can take away WWE's money stream but usually there aren't many ways they can BUT THEN AGAIN *WWE STUDIOS* PROSUCES TONS OF DOCUMENTARIES LIKE PATRICKS (LONG BEFORE HE WAS BORN EVEN) so yeah. WWE strikes aren't normally on so much BS like say...UMG...they just do a lot of them because, for example: some WrestleMania matches are SECONDS. Which can be sold individually or apart of collections seperate from the WrestleMania event. That's their little excuse summed up, usually. I support Patrick Cc absolutely however.

I think the reason The Rock is in so profitable isn't because the movies are necessarily good, it's because you know what you're getting every time, it usually won't disappoint you, definitely won't blow you away, it just does the trick when you want to watch a movie. Edit: I also think one of the main reasons he wants to call the shots on set and has his beef with Tyrese and Vin Diesel is because of his steroid use (he always denies this claim but anyone with a brain knows you dont put muscle mass on the way he *still* does at his age.

The Rock’s time in the WWF/WWE is the most instrumental influence on his acting career. His job for over a decade in the WWE was to entertain the same audience of millions with the same character and catchphrases. By doing this, he realized that audiences respond the most to products that are consistent and familiar. This idea has undoubtedly translated to his acting career for better and for worse.

That man was able to populate his acting range. And I'm not going to sit here and tell you every product was a smash hit, but beating on his craft made it so directors wanted him to kick off their vision Dwayne's success seems to stem from having the commune strong. Ergo he won't take a role unless it pads him for the brand With that approach he can't be like Vin Diesel, a guy who goes from A man apart, to XXX, to the Pacifier.

I haven't seen too many of his movies, so I'm not a massive fan or anything, but I like how he seems as a person, and respect the hard work he has put in to get where he is. I hope for his sake and his family's sake that he does take time out to spend with them and isn't just always on location filming.

I think it was SUPER smart of him to decide on the roles he wanted to play, aiming for a promise for his audience, that they would know what they'd get and enjoy it. A lot of actors are dedicated to the craft, but not necessarily developing that close relationship with an audience. Like a lot of times, if actors become known for one thing, they have to try to "break out" and play something extremely different so they don't get "stuck," while many audiences really don't have that feeling towards actors and just want to enjoy actors play characters they know they'll get invested in. It's why people would go see a "Tom Hanks" movie or a "Will Smith" movie for so long. They knew what they'd get, and that's what they wanted to see. It's really smart to look at things from the viewers' POV like that. Most movie watchers just want a little break from their lives, they aren't all in it for the experimental, or dark, or artistic stuff. They just want some fun.

I have nothing but respect for the man. He knows what he is doing, and keeps up doing it until it doesn't work anymore. And then, he just reshapes himself and goes back at it. However, I think it would be best if he just left the creative side apart. It's sad to see that movies, which are supposed the 7th form of art, are simply reduced to money producers.

I had Mr. Cwik as a Social Studies teacher in middle school back in the early 00s. East Hills is the middle school literally right next door to Freedom High School, which is why he taught at both schools. He would ALWAYS talk about The Rock. Unfortunately, he died maybe 15 years ago or so. Definitely one of my favorite teachers back then.

i’m a key production assistant, been in the industry for 4 yrs (i’m 22) Dwayne is the DREAM actor to work with . The crew can easily work 80+ hrs in a week, nothing makes that time drag worse than a diva on set. Especially in my position (start as the lowest paid, end up being highest paid) it just makes a hard job that much easier with people like him around. Kerry Washington is really nice as well, she is even nice to the background actors when a lot of the crew gives them shit. Love that you highlighted that.

Bold of you to explain that the Rock was born into wrestling, being part of the Samoans AND Rocky Johnson's son, and how his name carried him through wrestling education and jobbing at a much faster pace than a no-name wrestler, and then say he built his empire from the ground up, from nothing.

@TheoCynical Жыл бұрын

Fair but he did take it and ran with it. Many wrestlers have tried to make the transition into Hollywood and failed. Another thing, why *didn't* Johnson's Samoan cousins go for more if they had a nepotism ties to wrestling? Why didn't they make the transition? They were already in, why didn't they do it? Idk the reason but there's gotta be a reason Dwayne Johnson broke through. It can't be because of the nepotism ties though; I mean sorta but again, his cousins should've been first in line to take it and didn't. Dwayne Johnson is built different. Idk what set him apart but a collection of something. I mean Elon Musk or the Amazon founder wasn't from rags to riches either but they had a great start and they ran with it. Some people just do it however.
