Dwayne Johnson on The Smashing Machine box office report
On Monday, the 53-year-old star penned a lengthy Instagram note where he wrote, "From deep in my grateful bones, thank you to everyone who has watched The Smashing Machine", and added, "In our storytelling world, you can’t control box office results — but what I realized you can control is your performance, and your commitment to completely disappear and go elsewhere. And I will always run to that opportunity."
He called it his honour to transform into the role for his director, Benny Safdie, and he thanked him for believing in him.
