Hollywood action superstar Dwayne Johnson stars in the new film The Smashing Machine, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival. The atmosphere was electrifying, with the audience giving a standing ovation lasting 15 minutes, moving Dwayne Johnson to tears at the scene.
In the film, Dwayne Johnson plays the legendary mixed martial arts fighter Mark Kerr. On the night of the premiere, cameras captured Johnson sitting beside co-star Emily Blunt and Mark Kerr himself, clapping and tearful, visibly emotional. Variety described this as the most touching moment at the festival since Brendan Fraser’s Oscar campaign surged following the Venice premiere of The Whale.
The Smashing Machine tells the legendary life story of UFC mixed martial arts champion Mark Kerr. Emily Blunt plays Kerr’s ex-wife in the film—this marks her second collaboration with Dwayne Johnson, following 2021’s Jungle Cruise.
