“Vot Do You Mean?”: Arnold Schwarzenegger Got Pretty Upset After Dwayne Johnson Proclaimed Himself ‘Better-Looking’ Than Him in 2005

Considered the newest in a line of action starts that includes Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Bruce Willis, The Rock hardly needs any introduction. The former professional wrestler has already established himself as one of the best Action Heroes that Hollywood has ever seen. His enormous physique can intimate anyone. But was there a time when the actor got intimidated by someone else?

Well, as it turns out, Rock did once slip out and got himself into trouble. When ‘The Playboy’ magazine, in 2005, sat for a talk with Dwayne, the Fast and Furious actor spoke about how he got busted by none other than the Austrian Oak.

When Arnold Schwarzenegger took The Rock’s class

For Johnson, the moment, as he describes, was “awkward. “Though he is aware that in the ring, he is brash when it came to his screen work, his attitude stands different. He is hardly boastful. Because of his professional commitment, he is often required to travel to promote his movies and wrestling.

On one such event, he was asked to compare himself to Arnold regarding looks. The 50-year-old had a pretty straightforward answer during that time. He made it clear that he was “much better looking.” But his reply was not well-received by the Terminator star. When Arnold learned what Dwayne had said, he gave him an earful.

Arnold enquired him, “Vot do you mean you are better looking?” Though Rock did not have an answer to his question, Arnie helped him out with the answer. He said, “I am much better-looking dan you.” Regardless of this incident, the two share a great bond. They are often caught sharing the frame together.

The time when the Austrian Oak passed Dwayne the action-hero baton  

Rundown is not just Dwayne’s one of the most successful and grossing action movies. But the movie also holds a special place in his heart. In The Rundown (2003) opening sequence, Arnold Schwarzenegger makes an uncredited appearance. He is seen for about two seconds leaving a club and wishing Dwayne Johnson “have fun” as he enters a deliberate passing of the action-hero baton.

Sharing a little backstory of the iconic moment, Rock revealed that Arnold knew what exactly he was expected to do before the shoot. The cameo was just an instantaneous decision; as Arnie came for lunch on the set, director Peter Berg asked him if he was interested in facing the camera. To which Arnold replied with a “let’s go.” And 20 minutes after, as Johnson recalls, they were on the set shooting for the part.
