Longtime Rock-watchers have noticed that our bulky boy has gotten significantly less hefty in recent months. Is this because we, as a society, have moved beyond demanding our movie stars be jacked while also insisting they aren’t juicing?

Nope. Turns out, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is only getting lean for a role. Specifically, that role is in the upcoming Benny Safdie movie Lizard Music, in which he plays what is being described as “a very whimsical and eccentric 70-something-year-old man.”

But if you think The Rock is slim now, he says he’s only just beginning.

“This is me slimmed down, in the process of slimming down. I still have a long ways to go,” he said.

As far as how he’s actually doing it, he’s said his new diet involves eating a lot less chicken — and, I’m going to guess, taking a few less “supplements.”
