And, if this doesn&#8217;t spice up your day, I don&#8217;t know what will.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The pics, shared exclusively by <em>Vanity Fair<\/em>\u2019s official Instagram, highlight just how physically intense the <em>Jumanji <\/em>actor\u2019s prep has been for his upcoming movie. One shot, which you can see for yourself below, shows him sitting on a gym mat, drenched in sweat, his legs looking as if they\u2019re carved from granite:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Let\u2019s be honest\u2014those legs deserve a moment of their own. It&#8217;s clear Johnson never skips leg day, even <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/rock-had-midnight-workout-ahead-144054921.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:fitting in midnight workouts;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">fitting in midnight workouts<\/a>. However, these stills make it obvious the man has taken lower-body training to a near-mythical level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This isn\u2019t the first time Johnson\u2019s legs have made headlines. We\u2019ve covered stories before where we had to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/movies\/the-rock-shares-gym-progress-photo-and-holy-legs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:stop and marvel at his \u201ctree trunks,&quot;;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">stop and marvel at his \u201ctree trunks,&#8221;<\/a> and it\u2019s no secret that the actor takes pride in building roles from the ground up, quite literally. Whether it\u2019s bulking up for <em>Black Adam<\/em> or cutting down for <em>Hobbs &amp; Shaw<\/em>, the actor\u2019s level of physical commitment remains unmatched, and it\u2019s part of why audiences buy into him as an action star.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Of course, <em>The Smashing Machine<\/em> isn\u2019t just about looking the part. The film tells the story of Mark Kerr, a decorated MMA fighter whose career was defined as much by his struggles outside the ring as by his triumphs inside it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Dwayne Johnson as Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/onroDIQhp_w6P6cCQtz1rA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/5a5862a557c3de7d0cbe6f0769b7192a\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Credit: A24<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to <em>Vanity Fair<\/em>, The Rock admitted that taking on Kerr\u2019s story came with an unfamiliar emotion: fear. It\u2019s not a feeling the <em>Moana<\/em> star is accustomed to, and he acknowledged that part of the reason he <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/rock-knows-fault-wasnt-being-143918500.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:hasn\u2019t been offered more complex roles;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">hasn\u2019t been offered more complex roles<\/a> in the past is on him. Initially unsure if he was ready to embody the real-life fighter in Benny Safdie&#8217;s film, the <em>Walking Tall<\/em> star told the outlet:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It was very real. I had not experienced that in a very, very, very long time, where I was really scared and thinking, \u2018I don\u2019t know if I can do this. Can I do this?\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It wasn\u2019t until Safdie\u2019s <em>Uncut Gems<\/em> caught the California-born performer\u2019s eye that he apparently changed his tune about taking on the role. With that, he&#8217;s seemingly brought his signature intensity to the project, and he&#8217;s aiming for a grounded and visceral take on Kerr\u2019s story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Rock credits co-star Emily Blunt for helping him access the emotional vulnerability required for the role. He continued with Vanity Fair:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If Emily and I weren\u2019t best friends, I don\u2019t know that we could\u2019ve gone to the places we went to.
