The age difference between the two is apparent, but that does not stop the fans from drawing parallels between them. From doing the same genre movies to having a similar build, the two are often weighed on multiple bases. One such question often asked is: “Who has the bigger muscles?” This time, their mutual co-star Danny DeVito has an answer.
Is it Arnold or The Rock?
Having worked with both Dwayne and Arnold, Danny has a clearer perspective as to how Hollywood’s Action Stars are in real life. He did not just interact with them one-on-one but also got to see their physique from close proximity. Officially Johnson is taller than Arnie, but when it comes to muscles, does the former wrestler beats the bodybuilding legend?
Putting rest to the much-asked question, Danny, in his interview, said, “I know Dwayne ( Johnson ) is bigger, but they are both full of muscles. You can’t put more muscles on the screens.” For the unversed, Danny shared the screen with The Rock for Jumanji: The Next Level. While with Arnold, he worked on comedy films like Twins and Junior.
Arnold and Dwayne share a cordial relationship. The two are often spotted together. They have not worked together in a film, but the fans got a surprise treat from Arnold when he played a cameo in the 2003 Dwayne’s film ‘The Rundown’.
Arnold Schwarzenegger-Dwayne Johnson and their motto
They may now be Hollywood’s highest-grossing actors, but there was a time when such was not the case. Be it Arnold leaving behind his home country for better prospects in America or Rock fighting his adversaries, the road to their success was not embedded in roses. The struggle was real, but their spirit and dedication remained intact.
