Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Unveils Weight Loss Transformation That Will Make You Do a Double Take
There’s no telling how far Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will go for a role.
After all, the Moana star looked nearly unrecognizable on the New York set of his upcoming adventure film Lizard Music, as he was spotted in costume to play a 70-something-year-old man.
For the fantasy movie based on the 1976 children’s novel of the same name, the 54-year-old sported a bucket hat, a trench coat and dad sneakers to bring his character, The Chicken Man, to life. In addition to the geriatric garb—including a goofy tie—Johnson’s cut jawline disappeared behind a scraggly gray beard during the Oct. 20 shoot.
Indeed, the role is a departure from Johnson’s affinity for playing action heroes in blockbusters like Jumanji, Black Adam and the Fast & Furious franchise. The epic helmed by Benny Safdie (one half of the directing team behind Uncut Gems) follows The Chicken Man and a young boy as they uncover a secret universe where lizards make music.
