Hollywood is once again in turmoil as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson – the world’s top action superstar – is embroiled in a shocking scandal. According to multiple sources, the actor has been accused by his colleagues of playing dirty tricks to secure an important role in an upcoming blockbuster. Notably, this is not the first time The Rock has been suspected of using “hidden tricks” to strengthen his position in Hollywood.
According to international media reports, the conflict arose when a major film studio was preparing to launch an action project worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The male lead role was initially intended for another star, but unexpectedly “fell” to The Rock. This led many colleagues in the industry to suspect that he had spent a huge amount of money to lobby behind the scenes, thereby eliminating competitors and taking the role.
An anonymous actor who worked with The Rock indignantly shared: “He doesn’t just rely on his personal charisma. There are times when The Rock uses his financial power and influence to make producers change their decisions. This is unfair to other actors.”
In fact, this is not the first time The Rock has been caught up in similar accusations. In the past, there were rumors that he spent an “unbelievable” amount of money to be involved in a famous film project, despite objections from the original crew. Although he has never admitted it, the fact that important roles continuously fall into The Rock’s hands has made many people in the industry question.
This wave of reactions is especially fierce because it involves direct competition between big stars. On social networks, fans are divided into two factions: one side thinks The Rock is too ambitious, willing to trade his reputation to keep the throne in Hollywood; The other side defended, asserting that all the accusations were just “smear tricks” to bring down this powerful star.
A notable comment on Twitter: “Everyone knows that Hollywood is not clean. If The Rock used money to buy roles, he would only do what many others are secretly doing.” Meanwhile, another audience member argued: “I used to admire The Rock for his efforts, but if this is true, I will lose all faith in him.”
Notably, The Rock’s representative is still silent, neither confirming nor denying. This silence makes the public even more confused, because if it were just a false rumor, denying it from the beginning would easily dispel doubts.
This story not only affects The Rock’s personal image, but also exposes a dark corner of Hollywood – where power, money and underground wars always go hand in hand with the halo. Whether The Rock really used “money to buy roles” or not, time will still need to prove. But certainly, this scandal will follow him for a long time, causing his reputation as Hollywood’s “Final Boss” to be overshadowed.
