On September 2, 2025, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, aged 53, turned heads at the 82nd Venice Film Festival with a strikingly slimmer figure. Known for his muscular build as a former wrestler, Johnson appeared almost unrecognisable while promoting his new film, The Smashing Machine. In the movie, he plays Mark Kerr, a mixed martial arts and UFC champion.

According to the Daily Mail, Johnson lost about 60 pounds for the role. He also used prosthetics and a wig to match the 56-year-old fighter’s appearance. His weight loss sparked online buzz, with some fans wondering if he used weight-loss drugs like Ozempic or Mounjaro.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Johnson shared his excitement about the role. “I’ve made many films, but a voice inside me always asked, ‘Can I do more?’ This role was my chance,” he said.

Fitness expert Kunal Makwana told the Daily Mail that Johnson’s transformation likely came from a strict diet and tough workouts, not drugs. He explained that Johnson likely consumed lean proteins, vegetables, and small portions of carbs during his daily training, which included cardio, strength exercises, and sport-specific drills.

Makwana added, “The Rock is known for intense gym sessions. To lose this much weight, he trained like a pro athlete with a carefully planned diet.” He dismissed drug rumours, noting their side effects would sap the energy needed for such workouts.

Produced by A24, The Smashing Machine tells the story of Mark Kerr’s rise in MMA during the late 1990s. It also covers his struggles with addiction and personal challenges outside the ring. Johnson’s dedication to the role highlights his commitment to bringing authentic stories to life.
