Okay, so I saw this news about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson playing Mark Kerr in a new movie, “The Smashing Machine.” It got me thinking, how cool would it be to see The Rock transform into an MMA fighter? So, I decided to dig a little deeper.

First, I hit up Google. You know, just a quick search to see what all the buzz was about. I typed in something like “Dwayne Johnson Mark Kerr movie,” and bam! Tons of articles popped up.
I skimmed through a few of them, trying to get the gist. It looks like this movie is going to be a drama, produced by A24. Now, I’m not a huge movie buff, but I’ve heard of A24. They do some pretty serious stuff, right?
After getting a general idea, I wanted to see if there were any pictures. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see The Rock all bulked up and ready to rumble? I went back to my search results and clicked on the images tab. That’s where I saw the first glimpse of the transformation.
Let me tell you, it was wild! The Rock looks totally different. They really did a number on him to make him look like Mark Kerr. It’s not just the muscles, it’s the whole vibe. He’s almost unrecognizable.
I spent a good chunk of time just browsing through these pictures, comparing them to old photos of Mark Kerr. It’s pretty impressive how they’ve managed to capture his look.

- Step 1: Did a quick Google search.
- Step 2: Read some articles about the movie.
- Step 3: Checked out the image results.
- Step 4: Compared the movie stills with old photos of Mark Kerr.
My Thoughts
Honestly, I’m pretty stoked about this movie now. Seeing The Rock in this kind of role is going to be something else. I mean, we’re used to seeing him as the action hero, but this seems like a whole different level of acting. Plus, it made me realized that, yeah, Johnson used to wrestle with WWE before. It’s like, he’s going back to his roots in a way. I am not a huge fan of MMA, to be honest, I don’t know who is Mark Kerr exactly. But still, I am interested to see what kind of story they’re going to tell. It got me curious about Mark Kerr’s life and career, too. Maybe I’ll even do some more digging into that later. It is interesting to see how the movie turns out. It seems that I am not the only person interested, the first look at the picture really got a lot of attention. I am wondering whether people will like it or not.
Anyway, that’s my little deep dive into The Rock’s new movie. It was a fun way to kill some time, and now I’m even more excited to see the film when it comes out.
