19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 3: and he was massive, but then he just got older.

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: And I think it just it's the struggles that this guy,

21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: Mark Kerr went through when he got older and he

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 3: wasn't the best anymore. This is a real serious role

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 3: for The Rock, isn't it. I Mean you attribute The

24
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 3: Rock to sort of kids movies, and there's a bit

25
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 3: of humor in there.

26
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's received a fifteen minute standing ovation. How good

27
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: is that for the smashing Machine. That's a long time,

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 2: isn't it when you're sort of standing on your feet

29
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: nor you're clapping for ten minutes and then you go

30
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: with got another five to go? In the press junket afterwards,

31
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: he had this to say about why he's lost the

32
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: weight and how he was pigeonholed you when.

33
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: You're in Hollywood, as we all know, and it had

34
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: become about box office. And I understood that and I

35
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: made those movies. But I think what I did realize

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: is that a lot of times it's harder for us

37
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: sometimes to know what you're capable of when you've been

38
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: pigeonholed into something.

39
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: So we're going to see more serious films from the rock.

40
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: Well it is, isn't there? Because people do? I mean,

41
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: you get stereotyped into a character. That must be hard

42
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: for an actor because it's like it's like Anthony Hopkins

43
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: does Silence of the Lambs and they go, oh, he's

44
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: should be a serial killer every time all that? Or

45
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: the villain. I mean, who else has been pigeonholed into villains? Oh?

46
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: God Tommy and stuff like that. I mean, there's you

47
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 3: just sort of get pigeonholed into a certain type of

48
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: character in movies, and then you want to break free.

49
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 3: The Rock's done this and been really successful. Who's been well,

50
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,680
