Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson stunned fans by showing off his new look at the Venice Film Festival. The former wrestler and A-list actor, who was in Venice to promote his new film The Smashing Machine alongside Emily Blunt, was markedly more slimmed down than he’s ever publicly appeared over the weekend.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson said Monday he had turned his heavily muscled back on action movie roles to be able to express himself as an actor in his latest film "The Smashing Machine", set to premiere later in Venice.
