The Rock was left speechless after meeting Hollywood legend, Clint Eastwood. In the early days of his acting career, Eastwood struggled to deliver dialogues. He faced criticism from his director for the very reason.

Recalling the experience, Eastwood said,

“It was one line in Revenge of the Creature. They brought me down, the producer brought me down and wanted a scene in the picture where I had to come into a lab to talk to John Agar… At that time, the producer loved it and the director hated it.”

“The director stood there and just chewed out, put me down something awful. And I was a nervous wreck anyway at the time.”
