Rock is big because his charismatic and knows how to market himself. He also came on the scene when Hollywood needed an big action star so he fell right into that niche fittingly. Personally, though, I think a lot of his films are trash.


In my experience, I don't see The Rock mentioned that much when I see women thirst over actors on social media. It's always Jason Mamoa, Chris Evans( or any other White superhero star), and MBJ and Idris for Black men. I think he's bigger with the 40+/Auntie crew then the younger adults.

He been on like a 25 year run, definitely one of the most successful athlete/actors ever. He should be up at least 400 million. Wrestling (WWF) teaches you how to take a character and develop it and it looks like he did it in real life

Rock the GOAT.

I never hated any of the movies I seen him in.

Loved both Rundown and Walking Tall, Jumanji, San Andreas, Rampage, Hobbs and SHaw, The Other Guys, SNitch, Fast Furious movies, Moana.

His movies may be trash but he will forever be a huge part of my childhood.

His acting in the football RV series is great. Shows range there. It fits too. It's not like he's this big muscular dude playing a 1st grade teacher.

He probably play an engineer, construction worker/manager, or similar type roles. He has capability to do other stuff even with heavy physique.

Idk if its charisma. The other 2 are white trash. The rock tries to come off as an all American preppy type.
I know, but out of all the wrestlers he’s like the only one you can actually watch and be ok with that he’s in a movie.
