-Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson did and recent interview with MovieHole.com. Here is one excerpt from the interview:
Q: I’ve followed your career pretty closely, after the wrestling I remember going out to Santa Monica for a book signing once and I’ve been a fan of yours, my wife has been a fan of yours, and now my kids have become a fan of yours but for totally different reasons. They see you as they guy from The Game Plan, which is great. This is also a progression for you in the sense that making product that your kids can watch.
A: Which I am excited about, and for me it was just a matter of growth and trying to find and create opportunities where I can grow and where I can entertain audiences too and continue to build my audience but wrestling served me a great deal. It gave me a great platform and just really great opportunities that I didn’t understand then, to be honest with you, back then I was flying by the seat of my pants and every week, there are no seasons, 52 weeks a year you are doing television shows so I was having a great time and we had a lot of fun creating that character. But now looking back at it, it served me a great deal. It served me wonderfully well to be in that environment, that style of shooting, gorilla style, regardless of what we throw at you we go live at 9, you are going to get new pages at 8:55 and you got two hours live. And you’ve got 20 minutes, here’s your monologue, whatever it is and so that every week served me in a great way now and helped me because that was my training ground. Read the full interview here.
