To be worryingly attracted to The Rock...

Spent many happy years barely aware of the man's existence. Then I go and see Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.

And think...hmm.. he's quite...fit...

And then...hmm... funny, too....

And then... and able to laugh at himself...

Which has basically morphed into a total midlife crisis obsession. I am even contemplating watching the Baywatch movie, FFS, because he spends most of it running around topless.

I can't be the only one. Can I?

Just realised that the Rock is in Fast and Furious 8...with Vin Diesel. Jesus. Beefcake city...

That's tomorrow's watch ;)

The Baywatch movie is a lot less awful then you think it's going to be (admittedly that's a very low bar) It's not great but its very watchable and has some good funny moments.

No shame in a crush on the rock imo

We watched San Andreas tonight. Terrible film. Didn't care.

I LOVE Dwayne.

Also I have never heard/read anything bad about him; by all accounts he's a lovely guy.

Ilovetea33 · 21/01/2018 23:35

I recommend "The Game Plan".

justilou1 · 21/01/2018 23:36

If it makes you feel any better, my 13 year old daughter loves him too.

steff13 · 21/01/2018 23:36

He's attractive and very charming. He has an app, you know. It's like an alarm/productivity thing. You can set the alarm for him to sing to you to wake you.

csigeek · 21/01/2018 23:37

YANBU I've been a little bit in love with for years 😍

RNBrie · 22/01/2018 00:01

I've loved him since this lip sync battle.

Bunbunbunny · 22/01/2018 00:05

He’s gorgeous! Love him in Ballers, and he’s a great comedy actor. Can’t get enough of him, he’s not my usual type I wasn’t into muscles but him, just lush! Also can’t get the You’re welcome song out of my head Grin

ColinsVeryJolly · 22/01/2018 00:11

I've loved him for ages, he's a beautiful, beautiful man.

I have a colleague who's loved him as long as I have and we regularly talk about him in great detail.

DarthArts · 22/01/2018 00:16

I saw Jumanji last week - thought it was very funny.

Dwayne seems to be using his real name now rather than The Rock and I hear he has political ambitions.....sigh.

He does come across well in interviews though.

I get the swooning but tbh he's not my type - I didn't even get affected by the Smolder Grin

HoldMeCloserTonyDanza · 22/01/2018 00:17

I use his alarm to wake me up Blush The setting where he sings to you!

revengeongc · 22/01/2018 00:23

How could you not get affected by The Smoulder??

Watched the link OP - I'm still unscathed 😉

My "strength" is obviously that I'm Smouldeproof 😂

missnevermind · 22/01/2018 01:34

I actually sat through San Andreas just to watch him. Mmmm

MrsTerryPratchett · 22/01/2018 01:47

If you like large men with nice smiles...

AngeloMysterioso · 22/01/2018 01:52

He is adorable with little kids too. I’ve actually bookmarked this in instagram.

Warning- will make your ovaries do somersaults

Strokethefurrywall · 22/01/2018 02:46

I love him and have loved him for years.
He's on my laminated list...

squeekums · 22/01/2018 03:03

You've waited THIS long?
Been drooling since his WWF days

catwoozle · 22/01/2018 03:08

Can't see it myself. He looks like a cartoon.

InBlackwaterWoods · 22/01/2018 03:22

So glad it's not just me! He's brilliant! Hot, funny and a lovely bloke! His ability to laugh at himself is admirable in Hollywood!
The Rock for president! 😁

Mermaid36 · 22/01/2018 03:37

Loved him since his wrestling days also...
He is on my List.

I suspect my DH has a bit of a mancrush on him too....

WilyMinx · 22/01/2018 03:48

I had a huge crush on him after seeing The Scorpion King. I fancied him more when he had hair.

vwlphb · 22/01/2018 03:50

The Rock is the total opposite of what I go for looks-wise (think skinny, scruffy, long-haired indie musician types) but even I have a deep and abiding love for him, so he must be at least a bit magic.
