No matter in the wrestling field, in the new film The Scorpion King, or when practicing weightlifting, "Rock" has only one goal: to be the best. M& F interviewed this action star who may become Schwarzenegger's successor

In April this year, Hollywood released the action blockbuster "The Scorpion King" directed by the famous director Chuck Russell. The film has a strong cast, and many big-name action stars are included, such as Steven Brand, michael clarke duncan, Blancambe Richmond, etc., but they only play the second and third leading roles in the film, and the first leading role is Devigny Johnson, who has just made a brand-new start. Devigny Johnson, an American, is no stranger to this name. He has performed well in the films The Mummy and The Return of the Mummy. With the release of these three films, Devigny Wickham quickly became famous in the global film entertainment circle.

The rising star

Johnson is 29 years old. He is 1.95 meters tall and weighs 121 kilograms. He is tall and slender, muscular and handsome, but he has a baby face and is nicknamed "Rock".

The Scorpion King tells a legendary story that happened in ancient Egypt five years ago. Mataille (played by Johnson), a slave, did not fear violence, insisted on justice, fought against Menon (played by Brand), an evil ruler who wanted to enslave the whole desert nomadic tribe, and finally became the Scorpion King. This film is a combination of action and adventure, with ups and downs in the plot and lingering love in the tribal war of blood and fire. It is a film that you must watch. Its box office is expected to surpass The Mummy's Return, which earned $221 million in the United States alone.

Johnson's outstanding acting skills in these films have been unanimously affirmed by both inside and outside the circle. Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Bruce Willis all became the ace stars in Hollywood, but now that Lian Po is old, Hollywood needs new people to join us. Johnson, whose style is different from Schwarzenegger's and Stallone's, will become the representative of the new generation of action movies.

Success is not accidental.

Johnson's success in the film industry is not accidental. He has the basic conditions for acting in action movies: as early as the University of Miami, he was a school football star, and later worked as a professional wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) for six years, winning many championships. His rock-solid body and brave performance make him one of the most popular professional wrestling stars. Moreover, the background of long-term bodybuilding practice laid a solid foundation for him to act in action movies.

Johnson's burly physique and image are appreciated by Hollywood. Johnson's debut film was The Mummy, which only played a supporting role, but he played the second leading role in the sequel The Mummy Return. His performance style, especially his strong physique and excellent physical fitness, was refreshing.

The history of bodybuilding is not short

Although Johnson is busy with social activities, he spends at least 45 minutes in the gym every day dealing with equipment and exercises 1-2 body parts every day. He requires less but more, a lot of exercise, a large group and a high-grade number, and as little rest as possible. His history of bodybuilding is not short. Under the influence of his father, he walked into the gym at the age of 13, and as a teenager, he was able to bench press 135 pounds.

After he entered high school, he practiced even harder. He was completely fascinated by these cold instruments. He practiced once a day and practiced all parts of his body twice a week. In adolescence, his body grew rapidly, his muscles bulged and his height soared, and he soon grew into a masculine man.

The experience of rugby, professional wrestling and long-term bodybuilding training has enabled him to have the physical strength, agility and speed required for acting in action movies. Up to now, he still uses fitness balls and skipping rope as auxiliary exercise means. He often said: I don't care if my physique is the biggest in wrestling, I just want to be the best.

Future goals

Johnson has a happy family life. He has lived with his wife, Meryl Lynch, for five years. The birth of a baby last year has strengthened Johnson's sense of responsibility as a father.

As for the future development in the film industry, he wants to try all kinds of roles. He thinks he has a wide road. No matter the size of the role, he is interested. He said: "I hope to continue to cooperate with different companies and play different roles. My next goal is to cooperate with Universal Picture, probably an action comedy. My goal is to develop in the film circle and cooperate with more good directors and actors. I don't have to play the leading role, but I won't refuse to play different roles. "
