Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is unrecognizable in A24's upcoming biographical sports drama Crush Machine about the life of former wrestler and MMA star Mark Kerr.
"First look at Benny Safdie's 'Crushing Machine' starring [The Rock] and Emily Blunt," the actor captioned a photo posted to Instagram, in which he can be seen sitting in the corner of a wrestling ring.
In addition to sporting a full head of hair, Johnson appears to have undergone extensive makeup to transform himself into the heavyweight champion, as well as covering up his signature tattoos.

In the hashtag, Johnson noted that the photo was taken on the first day of shooting for the upcoming movie, which was preceded by a 2002 HBO documentary of the same name.
Earlier in the day, Johnson shared a behind-the-scenes look at his preparation for the role, which included input from the legendary fighter himself. “My training camp became complete when Mark Kerr himself trained with us,” the WWE star captioned a series of photos.

“He’s still one hell of a machine, capable of closing the distance with frightening speed and power,” he continued. “I will always be deeply grateful for his invaluable knowledge, which he kindly passed on to me, and especially for our shared brotherhood.”
