Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has shared his feelings after experiencing intense emotions during the debut of his latest movie, The Smashing Machine, at the Venice Film Festival. The initial showing elicited a powerful reaction from the crowd, culminating in a prolonged standing ovation of 15 minutes, which left Johnson visibly moved and tearful.
Dreams, I believe, are something that can be given meaning. We visualize various situations in our minds. This surpassed anything I could have envisioned and left my heart struggling to grasp it,” he penned.
He noted that the strong reaction resonated with him as well as all others working on the project. In fact, we were all profoundly affected. That’s Benny, Emily, Mark, and I. A big thank you to the Venice Film Festival #smashingmachine.
The Smashing Machine premiere earns standing ovation
Under the guidance of director Benny Safdie, the highly-anticipated project The Smashing Machine stars Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. This movie narrates the life story of ex-UFC combatant Mark Kerr, with Johnson undergoing an impressive body makeover to embody the character.
During the showing in Venice, it was evident that the movie resonated deeply with viewers, causing continuous applause to echo for a full fifteen minutes. Even Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, renowned for his solid and composed demeanor, found himself moved to tears as the audience’s response unfolded.
As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but express my awe on social media platforms. The applause for this artist’s commitment to his role is unanimous, and rightly so. Stepping into a radically distinct portrayal of himself, both physically and emotionally, required an immense amount of courage that resonates deeply with me and fellow fans.
Here’s why The Rock looks different now
Over a long period, The Rock has been known for his impressive muscular structure, an image that was established during his time as a WWE wrestler and continued in his acting career. However, in contrast, The Smashing Machine (The Rock) chose to shed weight, departing from his iconic physical appearance.
Many fans have been taken aback by the recent change, as new photos from red carpet events reveal a significantly altered version of the celebrity. This transformation seems to signify a departure from his wrestling character, leading some to wonder if he might forever abandon the WWE arena.
While Johnson hasn’t definitively closed the door on other possibilities yet, he continues to concentrate on his acting career and delivering compelling narratives, such as in “The Smashing Machine,” a project that seems poised to leave a significant mark.
