Being Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson may come with endless perks, but it sure does include its fair share of discipline and commitment.
The former WWE wrestler is known for his strict diets and crazy workout regiments, but his former director Stephen Merchant revealed just how much dedication it takes for the actor to maintain his killer physique.
Appearing on SiriusXM’s “Jim Norton and Sam Roberts,” Merchant, who directed the 2019 film “Fighting With My Family” that stars Johnson, told of the actor’s intense eating schedule.
“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,” Merchant said.
But his quirky food habits didn’t end there.
“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 remembered. “It was so regimented.”
The Rock recently revealed his biggest ever cheat meal which he deemed as “one for the history books.”
During his first time trying the fast food restaurant In & Out, the actor paired his two Double Double burgers and two large fries with some tequila.
“A #cheatmealsunday for the history books,” he wrote to his 332 million Instagram followers. “My first time ever eating @innout 🍔.”
“A solid start with a bite of good fries 🍟 as we know s–tty fries can ruin the whole experience,” the “Black Adam” star continued.
“[I paired] the main course with a (quite delicious) combo pour of @TeremanaBlanco & @TeremanaReposado; as founder, I make up the tequila rules 😁🥃.”
Johnson then jokingly gave a thumbs up on the verdict of his taste test.
“This cheeseburger connoisseur will now add In & Out to ‘the list’ 🍔📝,” he added. “Enjoy your cheat meals, my friends.”
