Dwayne Johnson has attributed his recent weight loss to be
ready for his next movie role where he will portray a 70-
year-old called Chicken Man in the upcoming Lizard Music
film.
Variety says that the movie is an adaptation of Daniel
Pinkwater novel and tells the story of a septuagenarian
whose best friend is a 70-year-old chicken. It will be
directed by Benny Safdie, who also directed The Smashing
Machine.
Variety notes that Johnson shed around 30 pound of muscle
and still has a long way to go.
“I’m so excited to get a chance to hopefully transform again
like I was able to do in ‘Smashing Machine,'” Johnson added.
“[It means] eating less chicken.”
The Rock’s next filming will be Jumanji 3 which starts in
November.
