Dwayne Johnson 'The Rock' Loses Weight For His Role In ‘The Smashing Machine’ by nlfpmod(mod): 6:55pm On Sep 01, 2025
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson shocks with new slimmed-down physique after MMA fighter role in ‘The Smashing Machine’

Dwayne Johnson shocked fans with his slimmed-down physique at the Venice Film Festival over the weekend.

The wrestler-turned-actor, 53, transformed his body to play MMA fighter Mark Kerr in Benny Safdie’s film “The Smashing Machine,” which is premiering in Venice Monday night.

Johnson showed off his weight and muscle loss as he attended the Miu Miu Women’s Tales event on Saturday night in a button-up blue shirt and black pants. He was joined by his co-star, Emily Blunt.

Then on Monday, Johnson wore a short-sleeved blue shirt that he tucked into his white pants at the film’s photocall.

Johnson’s skinny physique went viral on X where fans jokingly called him “The Pebble.”

“He’s so lean,” one fan wrote.

“Damn, he’s half of what he was!” another user said.

Yeah fresh prince is a fond memory of my childhood

But before that from 1985-92 he and dj jazzy Jeff formed a rap group. Fresh prince arose as a vehicle for him to act and also to make more money as he had mismanaged his finances

He is a rapper turned actor.

DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

Smith first gained recognition as part of a hip hop duo with DJ Jazzy Jeff, with whom he released five studio albums which contained five Billboard Hot 100-top 20 singles—"Parents Just Don't Understand", "A Nightmare on My Street", "Summertime", "Ring My Bell", and "Boom! Shake the Room"—from 1985 to 1994. He released the solo albums Big Willie Style (1997), Willennium (1999), Born to Reign (2002), and Lost and Found (2005), which spawned the U.S. number-one singles "Gettin' Jiggy wit It" and "Wild Wild West". He has won four Grammy Awards for his recording career.

Smith began his acting career starring as a fictionalized version of himself on the NBC sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990–1996), for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1993 and 1994. He achieved wider fame as a leading man with the film franchises Bad Boys (1995–2024) and Men in Black (1997–2012), where he respectively portrayed Mike Lowrey and Agent J.
