Pizza? Yes, please, but The Rock will have two pies. He took that food to pound town in a big way as he continued to muse about his life. He also received some pretty interesting advice from his strength and conditioning coach which he shared as well.
“Midweek carb up and takin’ these sexy pizzas to pound town.
Before our big action scenes tomorrow for HOBBS & SHAW, I get that glorious text from my strength and conditioning coach @daverienzi that says, “for your big scene tomorrow we need to fill you out more.. need you to eat pizza tonight and shoot me pics from the gym in the morning” — it worked.
Muscle bellies are full, dense and striated.
Achieving and maintaining a certain aesthetic for months while filming is such a crazy science that requires constant strategy and a surgical eye from a great coach.
As scientific and intellectualized as this process can be – when you strip it all down to brass tacks, it basically means you gotta be f*cking nuts to constantly commit to this discipline.”
The Rock is always game for new information on how to better himself. That’s how he continues improving. Those pizzas didn’t stand a chance though.

The Rock enjoyed a huge plate of sushi and then he let us know about his appreciation for the late great Johnny Cash. He quoted the legendary country singer while he slammed some sushi. That’s quite a picture.
“The cheat meal Sunday Sushi Train rolled on this past weekend with some power and a ton of that wooosabi
Great new doc on Netflix about one of my fav country artists, the icon himself, Johnny Cash.
I wear the black for the poor and beaten down.. livin’ in the hopeless, hungry side of town.
If you ain’t eatin’ – then you ain’t cheatin’. Enjoy your cheat meals my friends and excuse me while I take greed and gluttony to new levels.”
Knowing some of the people The Rock draws inspiration from is a pretty cool little tidbit that he lets the fans in on. As Dwayne Johnson, he’s an even bigger star and has gone on to influence countless others outside of pro wrestling. It’s nice to know that even people like The People’s Champion have influences just like the rest of us.

Okay, so this is Thanksgiving so it shouldn’t count, but you’ve got to see this bird.
“Word to the bird and a weird thing I have to always keep close.
This Thanksgiving was a unique one, in that it was the first time I’ve ever not been back home in the U.S. of A.
But here in London, we still cooked and laid out a big, sweet spread to give our thanks and boundless gratitude for our loved ones.
The weird thing – is every Thanksgiving I gotta take a moment to remember exactly 27 years ago on Thanksgiving while living in Tampa, Fl we were so piss broke, that we couldn’t even afford to buy a turkey, so we were praying someone would invite us over for Thanksgiving.
Well, the universe answered our prayers, because friends of ours called to say Happy Thanksgiving and we were like, “HAPPY THANKSGIVING WE’LL BE RIGHT OVER TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU GUYS K BYE!!” They were like, “Uhhh okaaaay great, see you soon?” A Very true and f*cking embarrassing story
I’m weird this way, but remembering sh*t like this helps me live a better and more grateful life.
I’m quite sure I need therapy for this, but until then tequila will be my loving & empathetic therapist.”
What a great Thanksgiving story from The Rock. It’s been a while since he led us all in a story-time.
