Dwayne Johnson, better known to the world as The Rock, wrestled in
a sold out show at the Blasidell Arena in June. Now, the former Hawaii
resident is back in town but this time he’s talking movies.

The wrestling star turned movie star arrived in the islands last
week. He’ll be here for the next month and a half as he works on a

Be Cool on set interview

THE ROCK
Rock, what challenges have you faced on this, flexing comic instead of action muscles? The
Rock: Sure. Well, for me, I’ve always been a big fan of comedy. I love comedy, and any chance I get an opportunity to do a comedy, I take it. With “The Rundown”, I had a chance, and with a movie like this, for sure. And, you know, challenges to where there are so many other actors involved who are really, really good actors. You know, and you get to test your timing against them, and who aren’t necessarily comedians either

The Rock sued by former personal manager over contract dispute

Wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has been slapped with a lawsuit by his former personal manager, who claims he’s owed a horde of cash by the star. Marty Adelstein recently filed the lawsuit claiming the musclebound screen star agreed to pay him 7.5 percent of the money he earns from his upcoming Spy Hunter film. In the suit, Adelstein claims the star already made $5 million during production alone. And Adelstein states he hasn’t been given his expected cut from the proceeds. Representatives for The Rock have yet to comment.

THE ROCK AND DUNCAN WANT TO RE-TEAM

DWAYNE ‘THE ROCK’ JOHNSON and MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN have decided to make another movie together, after discovering they’re neighbours.
The muscle-bound screen stars teamed up for THE SCORPION KING and quickly became firm friends.
Duncan says, We recently found out we’re neighbours, and he was like, ‘So, when can I come over to your house?…’
“I was like, ‘Just come on down, you live two minutes up the street.’”
Duncan admits he’s looking forward to the opportunity to show off his new trim body in any project they work on together.
