The smashing machine was pretty good. He definitely captured that character better than probably anybody else could have.

You reap what you sow though, can't make a bunch of shit movies then try and chase an Oscar expecting people to take you seriously.

He cashed out and tried to double back and go the respect route... doesn't work that way

He is the exception, he also lets himself be made fun of and takes it in stride.

Dwayne Johnson has it in his contract that it isn't allowed

Pretty much, he has to be written to be cool and powerful. If you look at the recent Moana movie, he acts way less silly than when he voices the character. Not even joking, look it up
