After a while, he started doubting himself and wondered if he made the right choice. The budgets became lower and lower, his paychecks weren’t growing, and he was constantly asking himself if he should’ve stayed in the wrestling world a bit longer.

Changing His Image

Another thing that Johnson found difficult after transitioning into acting was constantly being asked to change his image. He was no longer a wrestler, but he still looked like one, and simply didn’t fit into the picture of the classic Hollywood star.

“I was told that I had to conform to a standard in Hollywood that would beget me more work, better roles. Which meant I had to stop going to the gym, which meant I couldn’t be as big, which meant you had to distance yourself from wrestling,” the actor told Hollywood Reporter.
