    Dwayne ended the note by thanking fans for all the love and support they had showered on Black Adam and said he was very proud of the film he had made and will look back at it with tremendous gratitude.

  • ‘Wonder Woman can defeat Deadpool and Black Adam’: Gal Gadot

    Hollywood star Gal Gadot got candid while promoting her new action film Red Notice about her opinion on co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson. The Wonder Woman diva shared that while Johnson was a better singer out of the two, Reynolds is the funnier one.

    She hilariously said, “He’s so good with jokes, his thing was to make sure he breaks DJ [Johnson] and me and that was the biggest challenge. Not to break takes.”

    While talking about special talents, Gadot also revealed that The Rock’s dancing skills surprised her, “He’s an amazing dancer. He has such light feet. No, I’m telling you. I was like, ‘Okay, I guess the wrestling days, He’s really good with choreography.”

    All 3 Red Notice cast members have their own superhero movies, Reynolds as Deadpool, Gadot as Wonder Woman, and Johnson as the upcoming Black Adam, the actress was asked whose superhero character would win in a battle (hypothetically)? “Wonder Woman…right?” Gadot responded with a smile.

    In the same interview, Ryan Reynolds also spoke to the publication and got candid about his co-star Johnson, who has been named the Sexiest Man Alive. “What makes Dwayne the sexiest man alive? Honestly, it’s the vulnerability he has,” Reynolds said.

    He also added: “He has access to a great wellspring of his own vulnerability, and I love that about him. It’s also a wild juxtaposition from his kind of persona as this ultra-macho kind of overly, you know, everything sort of bigger is better. But, on the inside he’s incredibly vulnerable and, and that’s something I think is really beautiful.”

  • The Rock rips down own front gate during power outage

    “Not my finest hour,” says Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson as he posts a picture of a broken gate on Instagram.

    The 48-year-old then reveals that he literally tore down his own front gate after a power outage caused by a storm rendered it inoperable.

    “Not my finest hour, but a man’s gotta go to work,” said Johnson in his caption. “We experienced a power outage due to severe storms, causing my front gate not to open. I tried to override the hydraulic system to open the gates, which usually works when the power goes out — but this time it wouldn’t.”

    “Made some calls to see how fast I can get the gate tech on-site, but I didn’t have 45min to wait,” Johnson continued. “By this time, I know I have hundreds of production crew members waiting for me to come to work so we can start our day.”

    “So I did what I had to do,” he remarked. “I pushed, pulled and ripped the gate completely off myself. Ripped it completely out of the brick wall, severed the steel hydraulics and threw it on the grass. My security team was able to meet the gate technician and welders about an hour later — and they were apparently, ‘in disbelief and equally scared’.”

    Johnson concluded his caption with a plug for his upcoming role as the titular DC superhero in Black Adam.

    “And I think I’m one hundred percent ready to be Black Adam,” wrote the actor.

    His post has over four million likes with his followers expressing their disbelief at his actions.

    Johnson has the honour of being Hollywood’s highest-paid actor two years in a row now, pulling in over $87 million from June 2019 to June 2020.

    This makes us wonder what he would do during frequent power outages in Pakistan.
