Comment on Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is crumbling

Some of the more mundane things they mention, like exaggerating his height and being bombastic and over-the-top are just holdovers from wrestling. Having an argument with Ryan Reynolds on set and being habitually late seems very unwise, especially if your films are no longer big box office draws.

There is a bit of advise for actors/actresses from a director (forgot their name) where they said “if the only thing about you is that you are on time/early, and you are pleasant to work with, you will always find a job in acting. If you don’t care and lack punctuality, and are hard to work with or around (if necessary) then you will find fewer and fewer opportunities as time goes on.”

That’s good advice even for people not in entertainment

When I became a supervisor at work I learned just how valuable your clock punchers were. Forget the flakey people who can be your best guy 3 weeks a month and your biggest liability the 4th week. “Turns up, does work, fucks off” is such a godsend.

Yup. We had to put a plan together for layoffs once and I immediately pointed to a group of people to keep. They said why, they’re not our top performers?
Told them those are the people that want to do OT every time no questions asked, and are always on time.
A couple of the top people were not reliable.
Thankfully we managed to not lay anyone off.

I hope so, because those are probably the only good traits I have.

The Rock is now the money behind a lot of his movies so finding work isn’t an issue. Getting people to see his movies, well, that’s trickier.

So why is he making movies if nobody’s watching them? that seems like a garbage can for the film industry to put money in.
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
He’s riding that career momentum from FF5. Most of his current work is just getting paid for showing up and he doesn’t care about his movies. Remember Black Atom? No one else does.

My Uncle told me when I was a kid that 70% of success is just showing up, and being on time. As an adult myself now, I agree with him.

Availability is the best ability.
