The Rock( Dywayne Johnson) was kinda surprised when Brendan Fraser said he didn’t know him in the wrestling world
Brenden Fraser; “Forgive me, but I didn't know you from the wrestling world. -Yeah?
And when I was shown, I said,"That is perfect. That is inspired casting.
That's fantastic. - Wow,We'd be lucky to get the guy. No, seriously. I mean, come on.Because it felt like you need a
stadium persona performance to give to play a villain you love to hate.
And also you presented a formidable foe to the characters in the movie.
I mean, Imhotep was the heavy. - Right. - Right. But we needed someone bigger and badder than Imhotep. And who are you gonna get?
They got you, dude. - Oh man. - It worked out the best for everyone. You are a gentleman.
Because I promise you what you did in the wrestling world, you were painting with like a 10-inch brush.
In the final moments before WWE goes truly mainstream again, it’s been a pleasure. Don’t be sad when everyone jumps on board. We were in the trenches. We were there for the zombie match, the 2/3 falls ad-break phase, the dog food angle. We were there for the golden egg. Godspeed.
