Dwayne Johnson also known as The Rock, is one of the biggest stars Hollywood has ever had. The films of the wrestler-turned-actor have grossed more than $10.5 billion globally, making him one of the world’s highest-grossing and highest-paid actors.

The Weird Clause In Dwayne Johnson’s Contract
Starting out as a WWE wrestler, Johnson has successfully transitioned into acting. He has been a part of several action films and his towering personality helps make those scenes convincible.
However, there is a clause in his contract that might look a bit weird. According to the Wall Street Journal, the ‘Red Notice‘ actor has negotiated conditions in his contract regarding the number of times he will get hit.
The contract ensures his character always “gives as good as he receives” when it comes to injurious bodily harm. It was actually his ‘Fast & Furious‘ co-star Vin Diesel who came up with this idea. Now, even Jason Statham has these clauses in his contracts.

Johnson-Starrer ‘Black Adam’ Proves Lifesaver For DC
The Rock recently made his foray into the superhero genre with DC’s ‘Black Adam.’ His performance, unlike the film, has met with a positive critical response.
It has grossed $366.2 million worldwide, and even if it doesn’t reach the one billion mark, chances are DC will benefit from it. The reason being Johnson is the new face of the company.
At a time when Marvel is ever growing, Johnson chose to stay with DC and help the brand with his star power. Most franchises that he joined, like ‘The Fast and Furious‘, ‘The Mummy’, and ‘Jumanji’ turned out to be smash hits.
DC needs his star power and positive image the most right now amid layoffs, budget cuts, shelving films, and Ezra Miller’s legal troubles. We can hope that DJ sticks around and takes the comic book brand to new heights.
