Rock putting on a wig & prosthetics for this but not Black Adam

 

[CaptainWagner]

I'm honestly shocked by how thorough the hair/makeup here are. The Rock's really serious about this if he's willing to give up brand maintenance for a movie.

Leave him alone, he's trying to win an Oscar.

The Rock in awards season is gonna be something alright.

I wonder if this movie lands The Rock his first Oscar nomination? I sure hope so

I think if that happened, the further inflation of his ego would cause a rift in time and space, ending all life as we know it.

As long as they have a live feed to Vin Diesel's reaction

As long as they have a live feed to Vin Diesel's reaction

He'll hit us with a Find Me Guilty 2 for that Oscar nom.

The Rock he just looks so different in this film and when I saw first photos I was like who is this even? Looks nothing like The Rock but they did a good job to make him look unrecognizable but I just hope he hits on the dramatic angles in this film and he finally gets that Oscar nomination

The Rock with hair brings me back to Attitude Era

 

[Pennywise]

 

[Kane52630]

Yep definitely some prosthetics.

 

[Deck Rickard]

The title of this movie sounds like a Smashing Pumpkins cover band.

[Sawyer]

Something about The Rock with hair feels extremely cursed.

 

[Kane52630]

They even got the cauliflower ears right.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Hollywood make up is truly sorcery.
