Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson reveals he had to ‘pull strings’ to get Taylor Swift tickets

Dwayne Johnson proved that it wasn’t just regular Swifties that had a hard time scoring tickets to her Eras tour.

A good friend of his reached out with a big request for tickets that they said, they hated having to do but they couldn’t find affordable tickets themselves. 

When The Rock set out to do the favor he found he also couldn’t get tickets and for the first time in his life, he had to use his fame and connections to obtain the much coveted tickets.

‘It’s never happened in my career. Usually, I don’t have to pull strings … I just make it happen,’ Johnson, 52, told Entertainment Tonight.

‘In this case, it was for a good friend of mine who was like, “Please. Taylor. Last concert.” I’m never good at asking for that kind of stuff. I’m good at giving it. Hate asking for stuff. I don’t do it.’

And while the Moana star may not like pulling strings like that, he’s glad he did because his friend was over the moon happy about it.

He continued, ‘But in this case, made a little call, Taylor made it happen, [we got] tickets … [my friend was] happy. I got the picture of the happy ladies who were there. I appreciate that about Taylor.’

The former WWE wrestler is currently starring Moana 2 as the Hawaiian demigod Maui, the same role he voiced in the original 2016 animated film.

He is also filming the live action version of the same film in the same role which is due out next summer.

He showcased the routine on Instagram during his preparation for Black Adam.

The star said he followed it to achieve the ‘champion’ physique required for his action-packed scenes. 

‘Been working extremely hard dieting, training and conditioning unlike any other role of my entire career,’ he wrote.

‘Manipulating water, sodium, cardio but also having to push and pull real iron to have dense, dry, detailed muscle.

‘It’s a real science that takes months and months to dial it all in with my strength & conditioning coach @daverienzi who keeps a very watchful eye, constantly fine tuning our strategy daily.’
