If you can’t spot The Rock in the first image from his latest film set… you’re not alone – because Dwayne Johnson looks unrecognizable in his new role as former UFC fighter Mark Kerr!
The WWE superstar transformed into the MMA legend for A24’s upcoming project, “The Smashing Machine,” and check out the first look he posted from the film… the Brahma Bull is no longer distinguishable.
Dwayne covered up his signature tattoos… added a wig – and even appeared to put heavy makeup on his face to really look good.
Fans were shocked by the photo… with one writing in their comments section: “Hey the makeup team went crazy.”
The film – directed by Benny Safdie – will portray Kerr’s life in and out of the ring… and Johnson clearly took the role seriously – even outside of his time in the makeup chair.
In videos posted to his IG page this month, you can see that he worked tirelessly to make his mixed martial arts moves as real as possible… training with Kerr himself for the show.

Dwayne seems excited about the film’s future – telling all his fans on Tuesday that he will star with Emily Blunt in the biopic too.

No release date has been set yet… but it looks like it won’t be long before your millions – and millions! – fans can see him on the silver screen once again.
