00:00Who is Dwayne Johnson after the Smashing Machine?

00:05Wow, I love that question.

00:13I think I'll take a crack at it.

00:16Dwayne Johnson after the Smashing Machine

00:18is a man who is more attuned with himself.

00:26And now that I have experienced the Smashing Machine

00:29and I can tell you firsthand

00:31for the first time in my life on film,

00:37I was able to explore my own past pain and trauma

00:42and put it somewhere.

00:45I had not done that before.

00:47This was very new to me.

00:49My friends who are these great, wonderful actors,

00:53we would talk about it.

00:54We would talk about the privilege it is

00:56to expose yourself and go there.

00:59And to be honest with you,

01:01I was nervous about doing that for many, many, many years.

01:07Until now, until the Smashing Machine.

01:09So it changed my life.

01:11Smashing Machine changed my life.

01:12And it really gave me, it unlocked something for me

01:14that, oh, okay, I can explore this and put it somewhere

01:19and I can transform and I can disappear

01:23through great prosthetics and, you know,

01:27where otherwise I didn't know if I could do it in the past

01:30because I look how I look, you know,

01:33and so it changed my life.

01:36It's a great question.

01:38Thank you.

01:39This movie is also talk about fragility, vulnerabilities.

01:44Has Hollywood ever forced you to wear a mask

01:48or have you always felt free to show your vulnerabilities?

01:53No, I haven't always felt free to show my vulnerabilities.

01:57That's a great question.

01:59Because if something works well in Hollywood,

02:03they want to continue to do it.

02:04For a long time,

02:07for a long time,

02:11the material that was coming my way

02:13was not the material that allowed

02:16for fragility, vulnerability,

02:20and strength to live in the same room.

02:25No, just strength, humor,

02:30galvanizing everybody together

02:32and go save the world.

02:37But fragility, vulnerability,

02:39ability, emotionality,

02:42going deep,

02:45that was not the material that was coming my way.

02:49But by the way,

02:50I also, it's important

02:51because I don't want to make it sound like,

02:55oh, they weren't giving it to me.

03:00This is on me.

03:02Like, I believe that I was,

03:05I may say I wasn't getting that material,

03:07but I also wasn't manifesting it.

03:08I wasn't ready for it.

03:10Now, because you asked such a great question

03:13in the beginning,

03:14who am I now after the Smashing Machine?

03:17Is someone who's more attuned with that

03:19and more sensitive to that

03:21and to make sure that,

03:23because there is space for the bigger movies,

03:26Jumanji and Moana,

03:29there's space for that.

03:31And they're a lot of fun.

03:33But now also,

03:34what's important just as an artist,

03:37as a creative

03:39is to make sure that I'm still doing things

03:43and these things are for me

03:45and that I'm making this thing

03:48that I'm making solely for me

03:51and I'm giving everything

03:53that I have into this thing

03:55and then I deliver it

03:58and then I will move on

04:00to the next thing.

04:01And then I'll do this.

04:02Thank you.

04:03I'll do this.

04:04All right.
