Great interview. I have been a fan of Dwayne Johnson for many years and for many reasons, but the biggest thing that makes him such a super star is his humanity. Just seems like a stand up guy
Never liked his movies. Dont like his tequila. And his political comments and non decisions made it clear, another power/money interest actor.
Him disappearing would be ideal, there was a time when everywhere you looked you saw him, dude like a bad rash
Dwaaaayne!
