As part of the business, actors often undergo a rough patch in their careers. And, similarly, Dwayne Johnson is currently undergoing that phase. With recent several box-office setbacks and no major single award in the past few years, Johnson’s career has taken a little setback. However, recently, his good friend and Hollywood actress worth $80 million, came to his defence. She spoke highly of him and even went to the lengths of stating how Dwayne Johnson might win an Oscar in the next few years.

Which Hollywood actress predicted Dwayne Johnson to win an Oscar in the near future?

The Brahma Bull of WWE, Dwayne Johnson is more inclined toward making commercial flicks and entertaining the fans. His filmography has impressed fans but at times falls short of convincing the critics which has hampered his chances of landing an Academy Award. Recently, during a promotional event of Oppenheimer, star-cast Emily Blunt sat down for an interview with Josh Horowitz and made a remark about Johnson bringing home an Oscar in the near future.

When Horowitz asked her whether she wanted to see Cillian Murphy in Fast & Furious, or Dwayne Johnson in Oppenheimer, Blunt had a hilarious answer ready. She said, ” I wanna see Dwayne Johnson rip the face of something in Oppenheimer. I’m telling you, I’ve told him, ‘You are gonna win the Oscar one day!’ I know it. You wait.” She also pointed out the reason why she thinks The Rock is a brilliant actor highlighting his quality to listen “intently.”

However, it might be time for Johnson to experiment with his filmography, and after a string of bad performances in his films, it might be time to set his foot into something different and showcase to his fans his range of acting skills.

What rough phase is Dwayne Johnson currently going through?

Earlier last year, Dwayne Johnson’s much anticipated Black Adam was released. However, the film failed to gain both box-office numbers and positive reviews from the fans. Johnson would also be caught lying about the film’s earning numbers.

Soon after that, his Fast X was released, which also failed to see the desired income number. Amidst these, XFL suffered a $60 million loss, he also found himself in a billion-dollar lawsuit by a former wrestler, and a negative reputation from UFC fighters after his shoe deal with them.

Fans believe their favorite superstar to overcome this rough patch, and reclaim his spot as one of the sought after actors.
