The Rock is Making a Hells Angels Movie?! 🤯
A speaker discusses the making of a Hells Angels movie with Dwayne Johnson, including how Jon Bernthal was cast. The story involves a surprising personal connection through family ties and a humorous disagreement about how much weight Bernthal would need to gain for the role.
Summary
The speaker recounts the nearly 7-year journey of developing a Hells Angels movie with Dwayne 'DJ' Johnson. Dwayne promised to assemble an 'A team' for the project and suggested Jon Bernthal for a key role, referencing his work in the movie 'Snitch.' The speaker found this amusing because Bernthal turned out to be the brother-in-law of someone named Sydney, revealing a pre-existing personal connection that surprised Dwayne.
A humorous disagreement arose regarding how much weight Bernthal would need to gain for the role. Dwayne suggested that with camera angles and video tricks, gaining just 10-12 pounds would make Bernthal look massive on screen. Bernthal pushed back firmly, insisting the role required gaining 30-40 pounds. The speaker tried to mediate, noting they weren't trying to put Bernthal's health at risk. Despite the disagreement, the speaker expressed high praise for both Dwayne Johnson and Jon Bernthal, calling them the best people to have in his corner for the project.
