Recently, The Rock made headlines when he was photographed having lost significant muscle mass, leading to speculation that he’d decided to prioritize his health. However, it has now been confirmed by Variety that the actual reason is that he has agreed to play a “whimsical, eccentric 70-something year-old” called Chicken Man in Benny Safdie’s next movie, titled “Lizard Music.” Seemingly, this confirms he won’t be wrestling a match at WrestleMania 42, which will disappoint fans of his Final Boss character.
The 53-year-old began wrestling for WWE in 1996 after his football career failed to take off, and within a few years, he had established himself as one of their biggest stars, thanks to his unparalleled mic skills. This success opened the door for him to break into acting, and he has since starred in a string of box office hits. Nevertheless, it’s understood that making Hollywood blockbusters is no longer his priority, and he is more interested in finding roles he enjoys, such as playing Mark Kerr in “The Smashing Machine.”
