Dwayne Johnson, known for his towering physique and charismatic persona, has undergone a striking transformation for his upcoming A24 drama, "The Smashing." The first look image, released by A24, depicts Johnson as MMA legend Mark Kerr, a former UFC heavyweight champion. Johnson's appearance is nearly unrecognizable, with a gaunt, weathered face and a body that has shed significant muscle mass.
