Dwayne Johnson

The most surreal and humbling day of my career. My FIRST Golden Globe nomination! 🙏🏾🤎 THANK YOU @goldenglobes for this incredibly inspiring honor and acknowledgment of the story we told and souls we bared. What a privilege to be included with such an insane cadre of artists whose extraordinary performances all have raised the standard. Getting the opportunity to live in the skin of Mark Kerr was the most life changing and beautiful experience of my career - and my gratitude runs deep to Mark for trusting me with his story and ultimately, trusting me with his life. Celebrating my brother and our fearlessly empathetic director, the brilliant and hungry Benny Safdie @bowedtie - and I count my lucky stars to have the greatest scene partner of all time, Emily Blunt, whose RAW, heart wrenching, and lived in performance as Dawn Staples, moves us all to aching tears. Finally, I’m still in awe of the transformative, prosthetic make-up work of the great, Kazu Hiro @kazustudios and all of the Smashing Machine crew who truly became a family and left it all on the screen.  This experience was life changing and unlocking. Thank you to ALL OF YOU for “ walking down this road with me” on this wild and unpredictable journey of life… and art. 🤎🙏🏾

Excited to share the official trailer for Benny Safdie’s THE SMASHING MACHINE, starring Dwayne Johnson and Academy Award nominee Emily Blunt. In theaters October 3rd.

Tattooing is an art form worth protecting.� My guy @keithhernandez.nyc is a tattoo artist who knows what it takes to protect your ink for life, and that’s exactly why he’s a big fan of PAPATUI. Known for his stunning, hyper-realistic work and devotion to the art form, Dez is shaping skin into lasting works of art. Our @PapaTui_ caught up with Dez at the Villain Arts Tattoo Festival in Philadelphia, surrounded by 20,000 artists and enthusiasts, where he shared why he trusts PAPATUI to keep tattoos looking bold, vibrant, and protected.� I admire your artistry brother and appreciate you putting your trust in PAPATUI for clients 👊🏾

Life’s insanely busy, but I wanted to take a minute to acknowledge this amazing @Teremana moment that my Teremana distillery created for me the day of the #GoldenGlobes 🥃 A custom made Teremana Barrel with my favorite Teremana expression - Anjeo - personally delivered by our Global Brand Ambassador, @alanruesga who flew the liquid in from Jalisco. The Golden Globe nomination has become a career defining, precedent setting milestone for me and I’m deeply grateful and inspired by all the love and support. To all our Teremana family back home in Jalisco, Mexico 🇲🇽 at our ever growing Teremana campus distillery - love you guys and thank you for taking such tremendous pride in our brand and making Teremana the fastest growing tequila in spirits history. To the good spirit To the earth To the community To the Mana dj 🤎🥃

Highly recommended following my dude @kaleidoscopescentindex if you’re like me and love and appreciate beautiful colognes, and fragrances that have layers, texture and story to them. The part I respect most is he served to tours in Baghdad - and I’m always proud to support our U.S. Veterans 🇺🇸🫱🏾‍🫲🏼 thank you for your service brother and keep up the great work - and big shout to your videographer @david.wigfield for kicking ass with the strong lens game 🎥 👊🏾 I’ve been a cologne & fragrance enthusiast since I was 14yrs old and fell in love with Polo (original green bottle). I used to have to steal it because I was broke AF - but at least I was determined to smell good 🤣🤦🏽‍♂️ Many moons later, it’s turned into a fun passion as every fragrance tells a story. @TheRock just followed us. As a veteran who did two tours in Baghdad, I’ve always admired your discipline, your respect for service members, and your relentless pursuit of excellence at any age. I’m turning 50 and try to keep up with you every day. This is an honor I don’t take lightly. 🙏 So with the utmost respect, here are 10 fragrances and a signature Layer I’d recommend for a modern-day titan who commands respect in every room, from the boardroom to the red carpet to the gym. For the boardroom: 1) Chypre Azural - @les_indemodables_officiel 2) MAAI - @bogue_profumo For the red carpet premiere: 1) Doza - @narcotica_perfume 2) Ambre Khandjar - @unenuitnomade For the gym:  1) London Spice - @fragrancedubois 2) Maverick - @primerakw For family vacations and Downtime: 1) ☀️Virgin Island Water - @creedfragrance 2) ❄️Rouge Sarãy - @atelierdesors Public Speaking Engagements:  1) Egypt - @eightandbob 2) Emiro - @moresque_parfum SIGNATURE LAYER: Lust and Kingmaker - @worldofchriscollins

What a room - felt the love, support & mana all around 🫶🏾🙏🏾 Very inspiring and very cool to hear the great David O’Russell speak about my Hollywood journey in this profound way. Thank you, my friend for this incredible perspective & comparison, that’s both very humbling and very motivating all at once. Artistically I’m inspired, mentally I’m locked in, and emotionally I’m grateful. dj

Granny Vivian + dirty laugh = be still my heart 💗😈😂 Thank you Vivian for the love and laughs, and thank your family for posting this. You made my day!!! ❤️🤎 And you make me miss my grandma 🕊️💫 she was sassy, spicy, and tougher than a $2 dollar steak - but all LOVE, just like YOU. Happy Valentines Day Granny Viv - let’s get drunk!! 😂❤️‍🔥🥂 ps ~ you really got me at the end with what you said about keeping you alive 🥹

Congrats to my guy - #TheSmashingMachine writer & director Benny Safdie @bowedtie! Benny’s singular & very unique vision as a filmmaker has become an invaluable artistic anchor ⚓️ for me. To rip the guts up and embrace self discovery through our art. Painful discoveries too. All of it. I’m grateful. The art will always reflect the artist and a Benny Safdie film, is a mirrored reflection of Benny himself — full of heart, radically empathetic, deeply soulful and beautifully flawed with humanity. In one word, Benny Safdie’s films have MANA. You can FEEL it. That’s who Benny is. Congrats on this award brother and hopefully a few more down the road 🥃 @variety #TheSmashingMachine

For a pivotal scene in The Smashing Machine, Best Actor Golden Globe nominee Dwayne Johnson tapped into the memory of his mother, Ata Johnson, being diagnosed with stage 3B lung cancer. He vividly recalled the moment the oncologist delivered the terrible news, describing how his mother pulled the hospital sheets over her head and cried like a little kid — an image that has never really left him since then. Drawing from that emotional scar was difficult, but Johnson has said the process became a form of healing, grounding the scene in something deeply human and real. The moment left a strong impact on Matt Damon, who said the scene “walloped” him and brought him to tears. Damon praised the performance for its authenticity, saying that the personal emotional weight Johnson brought to it could only come from lived experience.

“tootsie titties” ~ of the few nicknames I have, this is my least favorite ~ thanks a lot Blunt 💀🤣 A real privilege for me to honor Emily and the cadre of amazing women for ELLE’S Women of Hollywood celebration 👏🏾🤎🥂 Emily’s Golden Globe nominated performance in The Smashing Machine served as her ever evolving artistic compass 🧭 that guides her through emotional performances that reflect the thing she/we love to do ~ storytelling. Congratulations Emily and all the well deserving women honorees 💐 🤎 As a three X girl dad and a man completely surrounded by estrogen at home 🙋🏽‍♂️ this was a very cool night celebrating our women and their boundless talents. @elleusa #WomenOfHollywood #EmToTheBlunt

Character study of an extremely complex human being. #TheSmashingMachine is not a film about winning - it’s a film about learning how to lose. Great to see our film find its audience and connecting with folks on deep levels. Now streaming on @hbomax #TheSmashingMachine
