Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson brings his own meals for restaurants to heat up, says director

Director Stephen Merchant has made some revelations about Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's eating habits.

According to Fox News, Merchant, who worked with The Rock on "Fighting with My Family," described the actor's "regimented" diet while speaking to Jim Norton and Sam Roberts on SiriusXM. "I do remember having a meeting with him just in Texas just before WrestleMania and we were having a meeting about the movie and his alarm would go off at like 3:17 p.m. and he would go to the fridge and there would be turkey and rice with '3:17 p.m.' written on it and he would microwave it," Merchant recalled. "It was so regimented." "It's extraordinary," he added.


The director continued by stating that Johnson is rumoured to have even taken his own food to eateries.

"I think someone told me, maybe he told me, that when he goes for dinner with friends he has to take his food to the restaurant and have them heat it up because it's such a structured diet he has to have," he said.

The "Moana" star is well known for adhering to stringent diet plans and workout routines in order to keep his lean body.

He does, though, occasionally consume cheat meals. Johnson recently had his first In-N-Out Burger and recounted his indulgent meal for "the history books." Two Double-Double cheeseburgers and two large fries were ordered by the former WWE wrestler.

"A solid start with a bite of good fries," he wrote before adding, "as we know s----- fries can ruin the whole experience." He paired the meal with some tequila, according to his post.

Yash says ‘men and women see life differently’ as 'Toxic' brings a new perspective to storytelling

Highlights

  • Yash says Geethu Mohandas brought a layered and different perspective to Toxic
  • The actor resisted repeating the formula behind K.G.F: Chapter 2
  • Toxic is being developed with a global outlook while remaining rooted in Indian storytelling

Four years after the success of K.G.F: Chapter 2, Yash is returning with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, but not in the way many expected. Instead of following a familiar path after one of India’s biggest box-office hits, the actor says he deliberately moved away from projects that felt designed to recreate past success. For Yash, Toxic became an opportunity to explore new ideas, challenge himself creatively and think about Indian cinema on a wider stage.

Moving away from formula and playing safe

Yash revealed that after K.G.F: Chapter 2, several ideas came his way that appeared to follow an expected pattern. Rather than capitalising on what had already worked, he was drawn to stories that demanded more thought and experimentation. That eventually led him to Geethu Mohandas and Toxic. While the film carries the visual language of a gangster drama, Yash explained that it also explores emotional complexity, moral ambiguity and darker aspects of human behaviour.
