He looks a lot slimmer in recent pictures.
A recent video went viral in which Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson looks far more slender and less muscular than his signature look. This doesn’t surprise me — Johnson is 53 years old, and at this point in time he has taken massive amounts of steroids for over three decades to maintain his enormous physique. That takes a toll on one’s health.
Johnson isn’t alone in this — his fellow wrestling superstar-turned-actor, Dave Bautista, has had a similar transformation in recent years. Also around his early fifties, coincidentally…
People aren’t meant to carry around the amount of muscle The Rock carries around and expect to live until 80. The steroids and HGH (human growth hormone) that many of these behemoths are on enlarge the heart and internal organs and drastically cut down someone’s life expectancy.
A ton of bodybuilders die of a heart attack in their fifties or sixties. Few former wrestlers maintain their bulk and make it to seventy like Hulk Hogan. I think The Rock’s doctor had a serious talk with him, ran some bloodworks and advised him to cut the steroids or die within the next five to ten years. Either that, or a recent health scare. All men have their peak, and the wise get out of the game on time.
