Arnold Schwarzenegger is a name that automatically comes to our minds when talking about Mr. Olympia. The legendary bodybuilder has won the competition seven times before he eventually retired from the sport. This is where Phil Heath can be considered his clone. From 2011 to 2017, Heath won every Mr. Olympia competition, making him a seven-time champion as well.
Although he hasn’t competed since 2020, fans can now see him again on their screens by purchasing his documentary through any major digital retailer. Dwayne Johnson is also advocating for the same.

Dwayne Johnson made an appearance in the video where he even praised Heath’s hard-earned victories and said, “Phil led an era that we may never see again.” He put legends like Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, and himself, in the same category as Phil Heath; to praise men who don’t give up on their dreams despite failures.
While Johnson isn’t playing a role in this documentary, Seven Bucks Production is producing a film about another sports legend in which the Hollywood superstar will be seen in the spotlight.

Dwayne Johnson’s love for sports might get him to train extra
Seven Bucks Productions is working with A24 Films to bring Mark Kerr‘s life story into the limelight through an entertaining movie. Since it’s not a typical documentary, the script will follow Kerr’s personal as well as professional struggles during and around his prime years in the MMA industry. The People’s Champion will be playing the legend’s role in the movie.
Apart from the combat training that the wrestler would have to undergo, we will also get to see a changed Dwayne Johnson in the movie. This is because Kerr was of half-Irish and half-Puerto Rican descent. So, we may get to see the wrestler talk some lines in Spanish and change his accent to suit the MMA legend. Moreover, we will also see the removal of tattoos and the addition of wigs to DJ’s attire in the movie.
