Dwayne Johnson, popularly known as 'The Rock', has left fans in awe with his astonishing transformation into MMA legend Mark Kerr for the upcoming biopic 'The Smashing Machine.' A first look at Johnson in the role showcases a drastic change as he embodies the former wrestler and mixed martial artist on screen. Kerr, a two-time UFC Heavyweight Tournament Champion, is brought to life by Johnson's dedication to the character's authenticity.

A24, the production company behind the film, unveiled the first photo of Johnson as Kerr, leaving fans excited for his portrayal of the iconic fighter. Alongside Johnson's transformation, viewers also catch a glimpse of Emily Blunt as Dawn Staples, Kerr's wife, adding depth to the narrative. The movie promises a riveting portrayal of Kerr's journey in the MMA world, with Johnson's portrayal set to be a highlight of the film.

In a surprising turn, Dwayne Johnson's metamorphosis was crafted by Kazu Hiro, a two-time Oscar winner known for his exceptional prosthetic make-up work. Hiro's talent in transforming actors, as seen in Bradley Cooper's makeover for 'Maestro,' adds an extra layer of anticipation for Johnson's performance in 'The Smashing Machine.' With Johnson's dedication and Hiro's artistry combined, this biopic is shaping up to be a must-watch for MMA and film enthusiasts alike.
