What Johnson did fantastically was distancing himself from the previous career. He was a fantastic wrestler, and he became famous and loved nation-wide. It was hard for him to abandon everything and start working in a different industry.
During the filming o Fast and Furious 8, Johnson posted a comment, criticizing stars who didn’t “conduct themselves as stand-up men and true professionals.” Interestingly enough, he and Vin Diesel didn’t appear together in a single scene. “Vin and I had a few discussions, including an important face-to-face in my trailer,” he told Rolling Stone recently. “And what I came to realize is that we have a fundamental difference in philosophies on how we approach moviemaking and collaborating.”
