Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in Ballers.
Nobody does commitment like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The former professional wrestler’s successful crossover to Hollywood stardom in 2001 was fuelled by that very commitment.
According to fitnesshacker.com, the 44-year-old star gets up at 4am to start a 50-minute cardio session almost every day. After that, he gets breakfast and then continues working out at the gym for two hours, and he maintains this routine six times a week.
His exercise regimen pays off as he definitely looks the part of burly NFL player-turned-financial manager Spencer Strasmore in the HBO series Ballers. Looking the part is one thing, Johnson is also committed to drawing in viewers to watch the show.
In a photoshoot to promote the latest season, Johnson got into a tub full of ice just to highlight how NFL players recover from a gruelling match. He explained in a behind-the-scenes clip: “Bags and bags and bags of real ice. It sucks. It is no joke. The worst thing is the best thing in terms of healing your injuries. It also does fun things to male body parts.”
Ouch. He added: “All jokes aside, that’s what we do on Ballers. We try to be as authentic as possible with the stories that we’re telling.”
Did you know that Johnson also has no qualms about showing off his butt if the role calls for it? As his Central Intelligenceco-star Kevin Hart told him on E!: “The audience that we want, wants your butt.”
Luckily for Ballers, Johnson has no problem with that. “The commitment that I give to our show, for the movie and to our fans, is to show the butt.” Ballers S2 premieres on July 18 at 10am on HBO (Astro Ch 411)
