The Rock Lands Hot Lead Actress For Baywatch

Movie Premieres

A personality as big as The Rock’s needs a screen to match. Before San Andreas and Fast and Furious were out of theaters and safety tucked in our iTunes playlists, Johnson already booked his next blockbuster roles. He’s teaming up with Zac Efron for a Baywatch remake, testing his comedy chops with Kevin Hart in Central Intelligence, and is even starring in a film adaptation of Rampage (a popular 80s video game).

Of course, The Rock’s heroism didn’t only apply to humans. Johnson made headlines after saving his french bulldog puppies from a pool. The breed isn’t known for its swimming prowess, fortunately, The Rock is.
