As both a WWE Superstar and a Hollywood actor, Dwayne Johnson has seen his fair share of battles, but going toe-to-toe with Emily Blunt on the set of The Smashing Machine may have been his most difficult.
Scheduled to hit theaters on October 3, the film will see Johnson step into the shoes of former UFC and PRIDE fighting legend Mark Kerr. The biopic will primarily focus on Kerr’s time competing in Japan following his success inside the Octagon and the ensuing struggles he endured both in and out of the ring.
Previously, ‘The Rock’ detailed some of the grueling fight sequences in the film, including an incident where one of his on-screen opponents left him seeing stars from an all-too-real punch.
