Dwayne’s physical transformation became the talk of social media, with fans stunned by the dramatic change.
This transformation was for his role in the new film The Smashing Machine, which premiered at the prestigious festival.
The movie is inspired by a 2002 documentary of the same name, telling the story of former MMA champion Mark Kerr.
Besides his success in winning multiple awards, Kerr also faced struggles with drug abuse and personal conflicts with his girlfriend, played by Emily Blunt.
Interestingly, the film is also competing in the festival’s main category.
During a press conference, Dwayne explained his decision to take on this major challenge after being typecast in typical Hollywood roles.
“I often feel trapped in one type of character.
This film gave me a different challenge, and that’s what I was looking for,” he said.
Dwayne’s transformation not only proves his dedication as an actor but also marks a new chapter in his career. – BOOM!
