He's got at least as many skeletons in his closet as Liberace had "outfits".  Just because this month we celebrate Halloween doesn't mean you should start bobbing for balls on some  "sellebrity".

A play on the word celebrity  and how they "sell" out for fame and fortune.  Oddly enough it was also the title of a 2012 film (perhaps more a mockumentary?) on celebrities and their lives.  Given the subject I never gave it a chance but that's kind of typical of me.  Sometimes.  ;D

the guy who was born into fame and wealth, hall of fame father and grandfather, connections in wrestling up the ass so handed a spot on a silver platter, easy transition into movies which btw are some of the worst pieces of shit movies to have harrowed the silver screen

vs

the guy who was born in a shithole somewhere in middle-earth, barely spoke a lick of English, worked his ass to travel to the UK then onto the US and dominate an industry he made famous against immense competition, transition into movies which btw are some of the biggest classics of all time - Terminator 1 & 2, Predator, Running man etc all while having no acting experience to speak of.
transition into governor of the most fucking famous state in existence.

this should put to bed any doubt if the above didn't -

Plenty of times.

the rock had a great physique in that movie with whalbergh, that was about the only thing i ever was inpressed with by the rock.  stupid movie but had some funny lines, i forget the name of the film, had a few lifting gym scenes in it

that would be pain and gain.
The rock is just a poor mans watered down version of arnie for the twinks of today. He's got charisma but no one will remember his films in 20/30 years time and still be quoting his lines.

good thing im not American ey? oh and THE PART of Austria Arnie was from is a shithole compared to the beaches of Miami, i know because I've been there.
it was also intended as a comparison (or rather contrast) of their two backgrounds, a fucking compliment to Arnie you genius.

Yeah, I think this is the issue. Men like Arnie, Stallone and even JCVD all starred in movies that became iconic. Arnie had Terminator & Predator, Stallone had Rocky & Rambo, JCVD had Bloodsport & Kickboxer.
If Dwyane wants to be remembered as a great action star, he needs a stand out movie that will become a cult classic remembered by future generations. Up until than, he will just be seen more as a novelty actor.

it's timing as well, back then how many physiques like Arnie, Stallone etc were in the public eye? not many at all and the movies were something new and unseen too.
now most movie concepts have been milked a generation ago, not many cult classics in the action genre of film today because they've all been done and re-done decades ago and his acting ability means there's no chance he'll be involved in a cult classic-type movie in a different genre, one which relies on his acting rather than his physique and persona.

That's true as well. Back in those days, muscular and ripped physiques were rare and most of the other major stars in Hollywood (Ford, Gibson, Keaton, Willis..etc) had dad bods.
Now, all the top Hollywood stars have impressive and conditioned builds. Why get Dwyane to play the role of the action hero when you can just get an established actor...who, after a 4 month cycle, will look every bit the action star.
