Dwayne Johnson Transforms In First Pic From A24's The Smashing Machine

Dwayne Johnson is currently filming a role for A24's biopic The Smashing Machine, about MMA fighter Mark Kerr, and today, the studio released the first photo from the film, where Johnson looks completely different from when we last saw him. Directed by Benny Safdie, the drama also stars Emily Blunt, his co-star from Disney's The Jungle Cruise. Production on the film is now underway after the project was first announced back in December by A24.

In 2003, Kerr was the subject of an HBO documentary titled THE SMASHING MACHINE, which detailed his MMA career fighting in Vale Tudo, the UFC, and PRIDE. For those who follow Dwayne Johnson on his social media, the star has been training MMA for long hours in preparation for the role, and it has been impressive to see the dedication he is putting in. Of course, his history with MMA is long, as he is a fan of the sport, appearing at UFC events and posting about his love of certain fighters.
