Without any sacrifices ?

We all know by now these execs and producers will have you do backflips and making some kinda concessions for those checks. Yet, The Rock is always on my damn screen.

Dude is in everything. He plays every single character. We all know his acting is trash. His expressions and reactions are worse than a lying 6 year old.

He gotta be doing/giving up something for those roles. Word to Terry Crews.

Dude is basically the new Terry Crews on "steroids" :lolbron:
Rock giving up that booty hole. Just ask Pat Patterson.

People really questioning the Rock's ability to light up an audition room. :mjlol:if there's one person I'd put money on to just walk into an audition for an action movie and land the lead role it'd be the Rock. Yall really asking how the Rock keeps landing roles in action and comedy movies.:gucci:
He got highest opening salary for a debuting movie ever in 2000 Mummy Returns. Dudes are mad no one match his charisma from the lake youtube channels they watch..the sports stars they stan..and the sorry ass gay type rappers they spend on.

The Rock was proven when Clinton was still in office

He appeals to everyone due to some seeing him as racially ambiguous (he is black and samoan) he isn't viewed as a wimpy actor due to his looks and past as a college football player and pro wrestler. He has carefully crafted his image and toed the line politically, is believed to be a republican (claims independent) but has criticized Trump enough to please his liberal fans and not alienate his conservative ones. He's always on and people like him, that's why I don't think his allege political ambitions are a joke, I would not be shocked if he ran for political office and won.

This is how movie studios and producers work.

They find a script that is generic as fukk and fits a genre format.

Or they find a script that is based off an existing IP.

Then they set aside a budget. Most of the budget will be dedicated to finding an actor that can draw in an audience.

The Rock is a big name and he needs experience and exposure.

His agent and manager are working the streets, signing him up for everything.

Movie studios and producers looking at the numbers like, the Rock cost me 5 million, my budget is 35 million, I am projected to make 100 million in the box office.

That's how B movie actors like the Rock gets roles.

Add to that he's not your typical black actor so he can get away with a lot of shyt when it comes to his roles because of it. If the bytches love you then that's all you need

He's going to get his ****** wake up call very soon.

His movies have been flops. The only movies that he's been in that did well were the Fast movies which already had an established fanbase.

You guys remember that time The Rock embarrassed Shawn Stasiak publicly and had his girl Stacy Keibler about to slurp him up right there in the ring :wow:



Undefeated :wow:

Have you guys ever watched a Rock movie ? His acting fukking sucks. His movies don't sell well either.

So, what y all saying ?


These dudes are gonna talk about bringing in billions, he draws a crowd but they wrong.

And someone compared him to Will fukking Smith? Gtfoh!
Outside of the fast flicks n San Andreas, he's got pure flops, small hit Scorpion King aside.

Will Smith opened fukking Hancock in 2008, before the world really fukked with superhero movies as mainstays n it made damn near 630 million dollars. No pre-existing character fanbase or anything, just Will Smith as an a$$hole drunk Superman. That flick made more money than all of the X-men movies except Days of future past, Deadpool n Logan. It made more than Batman Begins!

Dwayne Johnson prays to the ghost of Ronald Reagan every night that he gets to Will Smith status.

Don't ever disrespect Will the Gawd like that.

To answer op tho, probably cuz he's popular but more importantly he's easy n cheap. He knows he came from carney ass wrestling so he shuts up, does his lines n cheeses for the promo. I doubt he's getting paid 20+ million the way the top class actors do.
