Dwayne Johnson’s impressive weight loss in Venice questions

After having swelled to play in The Smashing Machine, the 53 -year -old actor appeared at the spectacular way during the Mostra.

The giant of Fast and Furious Now displays a much more silhouette … fluette.

Dwayne Johnson posted a notable physical transformation at the Venice Film Festival this weekend. Fans were amazed to see him much thinner, although still very muscular, but far from the massive build that he recently displayed at WWE.

The star came to present The Smashing Machine From Benny Safdie, a dramatic biopic on the UFC fighter, Mark Kerr, who earned him a standing ovation and who could open the Oscar door to him. A possibly decisive role, while Dwayne Johnson is at a turning point in his career, seeking to break his image of Action Hero Bodybuilded to engage in more serious roles. He will also be in front of Martin Scorsese’s camera for a thriller in Hawaii in a few months (start of filming in 2026)

It is perhaps in this perspective that he operated a new spectacular drastic diet. Dressed in a light blue shirt and black pants, the 53 -year -old actor has released a different presence on the red carpet of the Mostra, alongside Emily Blunt. A transformation that aroused both admiration and astonishment within the public, and even earned him a new affectionate nickname on the networks: “The Pebble” (Le Caillou).

The exact reason for this weight loss has not yet been confirmed, but in the wake of the shooting of The Smashing Machinethen Vaiana Live-action (for Disney) the actor certainly had to embark on a mission to bring down the scale of the scale. Because director Benny Safdie had asked the actor to become “bigger” And “wider” To play Mark Kerr, whose silhouette was “unique“. Dwayne Johnson took up the challenge brilliantly, he who was able to ingest between 6,000 and 8,000 calories per day at the peak of his wrestler career. The actor has already explained to work with nutrition experts to distribute his meals (six per day) in order to answer his”very specific macronutrient needs“. This method allowed him to obtain quick results – and to play with his weight – without suffering from hunger.
