Well he’s not called The Rock for nothing.
Dwayne Johnson looks more like the Incredible Hulk as he flexes his impossibly humungous biceps for the camera in a photo posted to his Instagram page on Friday.
Standing at a towering 6ft 5in and weighing in at around 265lbs, the former WWF fighter-turned-actor proved he was the perfect choice to play Hercules in the recently-released blockbuster, his ripped body testament to his years of blood, sweat and tears.

Full beast mode! Dwayne Johnson put his rippling body on full display in this photo shared with fans on Instagram on Friday in celebration of his UFC magazine cover, his impossibly huge muscles and rock-hard abs bulging as he flexes for the camera
It’s hard to believe the heavyweight is 42 years old, perhaps looking in even better shape today than in his youth.
Clearly proud to have been chosen to cover the latest issue of UFC magazine, the photo sees him standing in a gym, clad only in a pair of midnight blue shorts with white stripes down the sides as he clutches the publication.
‘Always be the hardest worker in the room… And try not to get punched in the face. Honored to beon the cover of UFC magazine. Respect I have for the sport, its history and its warriors is boundless. #ThankYouUFC #ThankYouMMACommunity #ThankYouGoodLightingInTheGym,’ he captionedthe image.
His epic traditional Samoan tattoo that runs down his left shoulder and encircles his pec looked almost double in size, his rippling muscles displayed in all their glory.
He’s a big softie really! The 42-year-old flashes a picture-perfect, genuine smile in a short video posted to social media in which he encourages a little turtle to cross the street before becoming turtle soup in the scorching 110 degree Florida heat
The star, who will reprise his character Hobbs in the highly-anticipated upcoming Fast & Furious 7 film, positively roars in the image, his mouth wide open as he clenches his right hand into a hugefist – seemingly about to start pounding his chest.
His stomach looks a little odd, with several creases having formed just above his belly button, hisabs rock hard.
While he certainly looks menacing in the shot, Dwayne actually has the reputation as one of the nicest guys in Hollywood.
The gentle giant always has a beaming smile on his face and doesn’t take his blessings for granted.

In a short video also posted to social media that day, he demonstrates that softer side as he encourages a little turtle to cross the street before he becomes turtle soup.
‘We live out here in the Florida swamps. It’s 110 degrees. You gotta get your a** across this road,’he tells the creature as he leans over him, his arm outstretched as he films on his phone.
Turning the camera to the little guy, who has his arms and legs tucked into his shell, his head just poking out, he puts on a gruff voice as he says in character as the turtle: ‘Leave me the f*** alone.’
‘He ain’t gonna focus,’ he says as he turns the camera back to himself, before giving a genuine, hearty laugh and flashing a handsome smile, sweat dripping off his glistening body. Swoon.
