Upon Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s $1 Billion Success in 2017, Billionaire Tennis Legend Roger Federer Clapped Back in His Own ‘Intense’ Way

There’s no doubt that Dwayne Johnson is one of the most popular personalities across the globe. And his fame isn’t limited to his fans, but other well-acclaimed celebrities know of him as well. Not only do they follow his work, but sometimes try to copy The Rock. A classic example of this happened when the tennis legend, Roger Federer, attempted an impression of Johnson from the 2017 film, Jumanji. 

Since stepping into Hollywood, Johnson has been a part of numerous projects. But among them, some stood out as masterpieces, making record-breaking box-office numbers. One such film was Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, where The Rock starred as Dr. Xander “Smolder” Bravestone. And one element of his character that attracted many eyes, including Federer’s, was the smoldering intensity.

Back in 2018, Federer tried to replicate what Johnson did on the sets of Jumanji. It was the smoldering intensity, Dr. Smolder Bravestone’s character strength. It points to the intensity of something as hot as it is on the edge of a fire. 

After giving all efforts to impersonate the intensity of The Rock, Federer sought feedback from the legend himself. 

In the tweet, he wrote, “Hey @TheRock, am I doing the “Smoldering Intensity” right?” 

In response to this, Johnson gave honest feedback to The Mighty Federer, complimenting him and his ‘perfect’ form. 

He tweeted back, “When you’re the GOAT there is no wrong brother. Perfect form”

Adding to this, he even explained to his fans what ‘Smoldering Intensity’ actually is. The Rock then mentioned a similarity that his character from Jumanji and Federer has in common. 

The Great One further added, “for those who don’t know.. “Smoldering Intensity” is one of my character’s strengths in #Jumanji. And like Roger, “Dr. Smolder Bravestone” has no weaknesses”

After this $1 billion success, Johnson starred in its sequel as well that released in 2019 and made record-breaking numbers at the box office. Upon this brief interaction between the two legends of the sports industry, it’s evident that they quite admire each other. Although, this wasn’t the only time that a celebrity impersonated The Rock.
