WWE Legend and Hollywood Star Dwayne Johnson has been a prominent name in both industries for a long time now. He enjoyed massive success during his time with the wrestling promotion and is now enjoying even more success in Hollywood.
Johnson’s acting appearances in the Jumanji Franchise, the Fast and Furious franchise, and Runway are his most talked-about performances. Other than that, his presence at Hollywood events and his workout videos are always motivation for his young fans.
Dwayne‘s physique is a major highlight of the megastar’s personality, and it has influenced a lot of people to hit the gym in recent years. Not only his fans, but even popular celebrities take motivation from the megastar to take fitness seriously.
One such case was revealed by a popular Hollywood Star during an interview with GQ Magazine in 2019. It was the Most Athletic Marvel Superhero star who revealed about getting motivated from Dwayne to hit the Gym and get shredded. The celebrity was none other than, the young-generation sensation, Tom Holland.
Tom Holland sees Dwayne Johnson as His inspiration
Anyone who follows Tom Holland on social media or watches his interviews must be aware of him talking wholeheartedly during his interviews. During one such interview in September 2019 with GQ Magazine, Tom Holland revealed that he saw Dwayne Johnson as his inspiration.
During the interview, Holland discussed Johnson’s impact on his acting career and his fitness. He said, “The Rock is someone I’ve always looked up to. His whole thing is to be the hardest-working person in the room. It’s something that I’ve really taken to heart. And when I heard him say that for the first time, I was like, “That is a really good saying.”
“I recently had a chance to speak with Johnson directly via social media. After which, I felt so inspired by the buff movie star that he felt motivated to exercise. I was like, ‘I’m going to the f*cking gym,” the Spider-Man actor recalled.
Replying to Holland’s interview quotes on the magazine’s Twitter handle, Dwayne referred to the way Tom has brilliantly handled his success. He even said he looks forward to working with the most Athletic Marvel superhero one day.
Very cool. @TomHolland1996’s a good buddy and continues to earn his success daily. That level of fame isn’t easy to navigate and he’s done it brilliantly & elegantly. Look forward to working with him one day. #hardestworkersintheroom 👊🏾 https://t.co/hGmpIazTJm

It’s been nearly four years since this interview, and Tom’s words about Dwayne are still equally valid. Even today, nobody can deny the fact that Dwayne is a massive inspiration for many to start working on their fitness. His workout sessions are something many of the young generation athletes can’t match, and you can’t even argue this.
