Hollywood actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has explained the reason behind his noticeably slimmer look, which drew attention after his appearance at the 2025 Venice Film Festival.
The 53-year-old, famous for his heavily built frame, revealed that he intentionally lost weight to prepare for an upcoming movie role that required him to tone down his usual muscular size.
In an interview cited by Daily Mail, The Rock described the transformation as “still a work in progress” and jokingly added that it involves “eating less chicken.”
His new appearance has since stirred online discussions, with fans debating the extent of the change and how it might affect his iconic action-star image.
