Dwayne Douglas Johnson, also known by his ring name The Rock, is an American-Canadian actor, producer, businessman, retired professional wrestler, and former American football player. He wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation for eight years prior to pursuing an acting career.

His notable stunts in his movie career were from his cousin brother, Tanoai Reed. Reed has been stunting for The Rick for years. He had several injuries and surgeries on set. He trained himself to have the exact physic of The rock.

Reed feeds on chicken chest and a lot of vegetables when he needs to come out muscular and goes fasting for hours if he needs to diet for a set. Reed takes all the injuries on behalf of The Rock. That's what he gets paid for.

The rock is the highest paid American actor, Getting paid $89.4m (£73.6m), Followed by Chris Hemsworth - $76.4m (£62.9m) and Robert Downey Jr - $66m (£54.4m)

If he sprains an ankle on a set, 200 people lose their job for that day. To avoid a budget loss, they get him a stuntman(his cousin) who acts his double when he wants to carry out stunts scenes.

Chai all these actors aren't really the actors because their stuntman does the work while the editors make it look real. its all because of their popularity and brand if not they're just there for fancy.

Only time will tell is he said the truth or not.
Doubles has always been used for years now.
Most times aside movies, they are used when a president is making a public appearance and is perceived to be in harms way.

Fancy you say?

Let a stuntman headline a movie and see how successful it will be, lol.

That's why Scott Adkins will always be a C-lister.

And most times, stunt doubles are used so that they won't have a csse where the main actor will be injured, because it's will slow down the directing and production of the movie.

When you are holding/reading a newspaper, or holding your phone.

Stretch out your left hand, the picture that is facing your left hand is said to be left.

Same with your right hand, stretch it out, the picture facing it is the one on the right.
