How did The Rock get so big in Hollywood?

For a while there he was doing shit like The Tooth Fairy and Doom how did he become the biggest star on the planet? At what point did he start to turn things around?

come on fags if a sneed thread can get 100+ replies this can get at least one

Tooth fairy was kino that's how

the man drew dimes

He probably diddled or was diddled by one or several Hollywood execs.

The answer is Fast Five

TONIGHT-UH

based

He had sex with Lena Dunham and Kathleen Kennedy

He has truckloads of charisma, he was destained for blockbusters, but likely you can't go from the ring to A-list straight away and are expected to slog a bit.
That said, he's overdue a career-defining role. Schwarzenegger had Conan, Terminator, Predator early on, The Rock's roles so far have all been pretty samey and unremarkable.

This coincided perfectly with the boom in the Chinese market which tricked Hollywood bean counters into thinking he's a massive draw when in reality the fact is the Chinese will watch anything.

He's like peak Will Smith or Arnold. Lukewarm, likeable action guy who makes bank whatever movie you put him in.

Except negger had genre shattering/defining movies, even when he could barely speak English, his shit from 30-40 years back is still absolute kino.

If I could have one thing in life I'd wish for even half the drive Arnold had, the Rock doesn't even hold a candle to the man.

The quality of Hollywood movies started going down and down until it hit the spot where his obnoxious personality and terrible acting skills didn't seem so out of place anymore, so he seemed to fit in everything.

>the Rock doesn't even hold a candle to the man.
I mean who the fuck will when you're talking about Arnold? The Rock is based and so is Arnie

Sexual favors, I work in the industry you’d be surprised what people do to just to get a single line in a indie flick.

>you’d be surprised what people do
do you feed them your seed?

The dude has put his time in.

Well, spill the beans nigger.

he's over brother

This and if want a more detailed answer at some time around 2011 he realized his career isn't going anywhere so he fired all his agents/representatives, called Vince and had him recommend a new agency which worked out great for him.

he's an industry plant

nah he got over organically brother

He's a wrestler so he was used to paying his dues while honing his craft. He's also charismatic as fuck and puts in effort regardless of the role, unlike most wrestlers that go to Hollywood, ie, Kevin Nash.

Nash never had the ingredients

Coz he's a big guy so he fits in any blockbuster action film

Soon Cena will follow. After many years, Cena finally played a lead role in the best transformer movie

Cena looks uncanny, the roids completely fucked the shape of his skull, the rock looks more presentable.

I do love the man tho, hope he gets more serious shit.

Yeah but beside Fast & Furious and maybe playing the fag he is IRL in Southland Tales, he does not have some good roles that will make him a definitive star.

>Already 42 and only just getting in to Hollywood

He's doomed. You can't be 45 and still doing children's roles to pay your dues. Hos best role was unironically what amounted to a cameo

Cena is destined to play "no nonsense army commander who makes snide comments" at the absolute best.

The Rock's skull has changed just as much if not more so. I think it suites Cena better tbqh

pain & gain is a strong MOTD contender. top kino.

why do you take nash at his word? he's just a seething kliq cuck

I think he started going really big when he started producing his own work, making him able to choose the roles in his movies. Also this helped him make serious bank when his movies started to make money off of the BO.

I guess if we have another war and Hollywood decides to churn out a new set of war films shitting on our enemies, he will have a good future.

all of the above.
started off with a following. can pull of elaborate fight sequences, genuinely big so no need for camera fuckery, nice guy, was around at the right time and age to play leading roles, racially ambiguous

They're both guilty, but the Rock didn't suffer as bad.

He has the look for action movies and he will literally do any role, he eventually lucked out and got into Fast Five which somehow made a shitload of money and now Hollywood thinks he was the draw even though his movies don't do that well. He's also a likeable guy and they probably like having s guy like him promoting movies.

Head wise user, and thinking on it, fuck em both, kino wrestler coming through.

Watched Jingle All the Way the other day. Things were so nice back then. Can't stomach cena and soon can't stomach the rock. Hollywood is just producing straight up garbage. Cant even remember any good comedy coming out in recent years.
