Dwayne Johnson has unusual contract clause for his action movies that shapes every role

Actor Dwayne Johnson is reported to have a clause written into his film contracts to make sure he always “give as good as he gets” in every fight scene and never be bested by his opponents

Actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is well known for his beefy roles and action hero characters, which see the star escape near impossible disasters and go into combat.

Yet the actor doesn’t just land all his action heroes by pure luck, the star reportedly also has a ‘no lose’ contract added into all his movie roles that means the actor is never bested or beaten.

The actor, who has starred in various films including as Agent Luke Hobbs in the Fast and Furious franchise, reportedly has legal terms and conditions that limit how ‘badly’ he can be beaten up and ensure that he always comes out on top. He follows in the footsteps of other action hero actors including Vin Diesel and Jason Statham, who also keep a tight leash on how punches they sustain and how their fight scenes are played out on screen.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Johnson took heed from Vin Diesel who reportedly developed a system where he assigned a numerical value to each punch he received while on screen and kept track of how many punches he had taken whilst filming. The Wall Street Journal reported: “According to producers and crew members on the films, Mr. Statham, 51 years old, negotiated an agreement with the studio that limits how badly he can be beaten up on screen. Mr. Johnson, 47, enlists producers, editors and fight coordinators to help make sure he always gives as good as he gets.”

Johnson also took the contract to the next level for Fast and Furious, as he allegedly had the script changed to ensure that after one on screen brawl he was left sitting up instead of lying down and seemingly less hurt.

The actor, who initially started his career out as The Rock in WWE, is reported to still keep the ‘no lose’ contract in all his films according to one TikTok video from Charles Peralo.

Whilst Johnson previously starred in the Fast and Furious franchise, he disappointed fans as he claimed he would “never return” and hit out at fellow star Vin Diesel. In 2021 Johnson called out Diesel’s ‘manipulating’ ways in a recent CNN interview when he revealed that he was quite shocked when the star took to social media to plead with him to return to his Fast & Furious family.

Tensions had previously been high between the acting duo since 2016 when The Rock publicly praised his female co-stars in a gushing Instagram post, but criticised some of the lead male actors in the same breath. Whilst he never named names, it was later revealed that Dwayne’s harsh words were in fact directed towards his co-star Vin, leaving their relationship strained a s a result.
