  • Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Path to Success: The Strength of His Support System

    Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Path to Success: The Strength of His Support System

    It’s common for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to be busy, but it appears he’s been busier than ever in recent weeks. Over the last few days alone, the most electrifying man in entertainment made a brief return to the WWE on a recent episode of Smackdown, showed up in Boulder, Colorado for two show appearances, and he’s been working on numerous business ventures.

    As crazy as Johnson’s schedule is, he always makes time to train. All of his posts from the “Iron Paradise” are well received by the millions…and millions of fans and followers around the world. They also serve as reminders that if one of the busiest people on the planet can get it in, you can too.

    What some of his followers may not realize is that while the former WWE champion is putting in the reps and sweat equity, he isn’t approaching his fitness alone. Even as knowledgeable as Johnson is about working out, he works with a coach, Dave Rienzi. It’s Rienzi’s job to help Johnson train to achieve certain looks for movie roles or simply stay in shape while taking on numerous projects at once.

    “Living a healthy lifestyle is always a number-one priority, and fitness routines anchor and support the rest of life’s activities. It’s a mindset,” Rienzi explained. He helps Johnson set up his workouts as well as his nutrition plans, and while that may appear to be complex, it’s actually a matter of creating something that can be followed consistently, which is what Rienzi feels matters most.

    Rienzi said, “Consistency with diet is huge, and a meal plan is the best way to take results to the next level and set the stage for true transformation. The diet varies from role to role whether the goal is to build muscle mass or get lean, understanding what foods & macros work best for the body is a crucial component to the success.”

    Whether it’s doing fasted cardio on the Stairmaster or elliptical (Johnson calls his Big Bertha) for Black Adam or adding calories to help him build muscle for a photo shoot, Rienzi can pivot and adjust the plan so all Johnson has to do is follow it.

    “Having consistency in fitness routine execution allows for the opportunity to do everything else at the highest level, and that just comes down to developing training programs that are efficient, consistent, and smartly tailored to goals.”

    That all reads as if it would be simple, but how can one focus on working out and following a set tempo when all these other things are tugging at you? Like Johnson’s training, he doesn’t go about business alone, which is why he leans on business partner, and former wife) Dany Garcia. Garcia has her own hectic schedule with running Seven Bucks Productions and owner of the XFL, but like Johnson, the IFBB Pro has a methodical approach to her success.

    “I’m methodical with my mornings,” Garcia shared. “The first thing I do is check my Oura ring to see how I slept. After that, I like to weigh myself to add to the information input. Weight is not the end all or be all but it does help to provide me with more data.”

    She then takes around a half-hour to center herself before going into her own fasted cardio sessions to begin her day. She and Rienzi, who are married, then take on the tasks of the day.

    “I specifically schedule my days to begin appointments or scheduled zooms an hour after my training session ends. My team and I commit to this schedule as much as possible regardless of the coast or city I’m working in.”

    While you see “The Rock” making an Instagram post or sharing words of inspiration to the followers, there is a lot more going on behind the scenes than you realize. Even while he was the set of ESPN College Gameday recently, Johnson, Rienzi, and Garcia were preparing for the launch of their next step for their ZOA Energy brand, ZOA+ preworkout powder. As is the case with all their interests, they find ways to create something themselves that will help their supporters and disrupt the industry they are entering. Now, their focus is on the supplement industry.

    “What truly sets ZOA+ Powder apart is its hand-picked ingredients and formula. Similar to my philosophy to diet in general – make what you put into your body work for you,” Garcia shared. Rienzi had a large part in creating the formula that will help promote pump, endurance, mental support, energy from natural sources, and hydration.

    “Our whole founding team uses these products day in and day out, that might be ZOA’s greatest testament.”

    ZOA+ Preworkout powder officially launched on Sept. 18, and you can order it on Amazon as well as on ZOAEnergy.com. While Johnson, Rienzi, and Garcia all feel this step into the supplement industry will be a successful one, they hope it leads to something successful for their supporters and ZOA Warriors. They also advise that they should focus on themselves more than what others are doing. Training like a celebrity can be great, but following your passion and finding your best path is best, according to Garcia.

    “Do not apply your goals to what other people are doing —avoid the comparison trap. Mindset is massive.”

    After a series of scandals in his personal life, Vin Diesel continues to ‘beg’ The Rock to return to the new ‘Fast and Furious’ part

    Despite a string of scandals tarnishing his personal life, Vin Diesel remаins persistent in his efforts to lure Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson back to the Fast and Furious franchise.

    Diesel’s pleas for Johnson’s return come amidst a tumultuous period for the series, with tensions between the two stars escalating due to reported on-set conflicts and social media spats.

    Diesel, who serves as both a lead actor and producer for the franchise, recognizes the invaluable presence of Johnson’s charismatic persona, which has played a significant role in the franchise’s commercial success.

    However, Johnson’s departure from the Fast and Furious series was marked by public statements citing a desire to focus on other projects and a desire for a more harmonious working environment.

    ‘ Despite the rocky history between them, Diesel’s appeals for Johnson’s return underscore the importance of star power in maintaining the franchise’s momentum and box office dominance.

    As negotiations and rumors swirl within Hollywood circles, fans eagerly await news of whether The Rock will answer Diesel’s call and rejoin the adrenaline-fueled world of fast cars and high-stakes action.

  • Jason Statham’s fiancée has revealed a surprising talent that his fans probably wouldn’t have expected

    Jason Statham’s fiancée has revealed a surprising talent that his fans probably wouldn’t have expected

    When you think of words that would describe Jason Statham, dry humor, action skills and a tough guy attitude are the types of things that are likely to come up. However, at home, Jason Statham is a different guy than we see on the big screen. In fact, Rosie Huntington-Whitely previously spoke out about how “humble” and “grounded” the actor is in real life, and more recently she revealed one of his hobbies when he’s not at work. Spoiler: It’s not learning how to do additional stunt work. In fact, it’s interior decorating.

    Yes, that’s right. The couple, who have been together since 2010 and share a son together, have recently been renovating. According to Rosie Hungtington-Whiteley, she’s not the mastermind behind the new home and life they are creating together, however. In fact, it’s Statham who has the keen eye.

     

    I’m renovating at the moment, which is exciting because property and interiors are things I’m getting more excited about now. But Jay is the real visionary in this family, and his taste and aesthetic are second to none. People are so surprised because that’s not what they expect. But really, when it comes to furniture and architecture, I have learnt so much from him.

    Like many people during the pandemic, Statham and Huntington-Whiteley went through some big life changes. The two had been stationed in Los Angeles where the Hobbs and Shaw star’s career has been booming with plenty of roles, but have been among the swath of celebrities who have left Hollywood of late. More recently, they chose to move back to the U.K., where they are working through renovating a London home and a second property they see as an investment, per the interview the model did with The Sun.

    Overall, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley says the change has been good for their family. She noted she missed the “British sense of humor” and the access to “nature” that being back in the U.K. provides. Moving forward, she thinks it will be a great fit for she, her husband, and their littles.

    For me, nature is where I find myself most restored. That’s something I really want to achieve for my family in the near future — our own little slice of nature, and animals and all those things, I think that will give a nice balance to our lifestyle. I’m excited to start creating that. That’s one of the great things about being back in the UK as well.

    Along with wanting their son and the baby they have on the way to grow up where their parents did, the movies and renovations have had another bonus: The family wanted to be able to spend Christmas with their extended group of loved ones in 2022.

    Now that they are back home and getting settled, and this unexpected talent has been revealed, I can’t wait for someone to write a role for Statham in which he both manages danger like it’s no big deal and savvily chooses wallpaper in his downtime. Feels like a Guy Ritchie film, if you ask me…

  • The Total Amount Paid To Jason Statham For All Four Expendables Films

    The Total Amount Paid To Jason Statham For All Four Expendables Films

    Action star Jason Statham is one of the four actors who has starred in all four Expendables movies, which also makes him among the most profitable of the franchise. Statham has become a fan-favorite of the action genre with his signature style of high-octane thrillers such as The Transporter (2002), Crank (2006), The Bank Job (2008), and Safe (2012). The 56-year-old actor is still at the top of his game starring in several high-grossing action movie franchises including The Meg, Fast & Furious, and The Expendables.

     

    In the Expendables movies, Statham plays an expertly skilled knife expert and hand-to-hand combat fighter named Lee Christmas. Christmas is the right-hand man and best friend of Barney Ross, the team leader of the Expendables played by Sylvester Stallone. Statham has starred in dozens of movies since making his film debut with 1998’s Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Statham’s breakout role in Guy Ritchie’s Snatch (2000) was just the second movie of his career for which he only earned $18,000 from his starring role as a boxing promoter named Turkish.

    Jason Statham Made Approximately $52 Million For The Expendables Movies

    Statham was reportedly the highest paid actor of Expend4bles, raking in a massive $25 million payday for reprising Lee Christmas in the 2023 film. This shockingly surpassed Sylvester Stallone’s salary by a wide margin, who made just $3 million in his expected final appearance as Barney Ross. The staggering disparity between Statham’s salary and those of the rest of the crew clearly indicates that Statham is truly the new face of the franchise and will likely be paid in a similar elite pay range for Expendables 5, which has yet to be confirmed.

    There is no public record of how much Statham officially made from the first three Expendables movies. Since the action star made $12 million from 2011’s The Mechanic and $9 million from 2008’s Death Race, it can be estimated that Statham made roughly $8-12 million for each movie of the Expendables original trilogy. The exact details of Statham’s deal for the Expendables films between 2010-2014 remain undisclosed, but through the context of his other salaries for his roles at that time, it’s estimated that he made a total of $52 million for all four films in the Expendables franchise.

    What Jason Statham’s Current Net Worth Is

    As of November 2023, Jason Statham’s net work is approximately $120 million (via Forbes). On averages, the actor earns roughly $13 million per movie that he stars in. Statham’s most profitable roles include his characters in Expend4ables, The Meg, and his appearances as Deckard Shaw in the Fast & Furious franchise. Statham also has several investments in real estate and the stock market which amplifies his net worth as well as a $7 million Los Angeles home, a Ferrari, and a McLeron. With expected appearances in Fast X: Part 2 and possibly future Expendables projects, Statham’s net worth should increase even further in time.

    Travis Kelce Has Bold Words for People Who Think His Romance With Taylor Swift Is Fake – “You’re all crazy. Every last one of you, you’re crazy..”

    Travis Kelce has a direct response for fans who are critical of his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift .

    For months, some NFL viewers have alleged the relationship that has bloomed between the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the “Blank Space” singer is fake. The reason for this supposed long con? To boost 2024 Super Bowl ratings by ensuring both Kelce and Swift are at the big game.

    During a pre-Super Bowl interview with CBS Sports ’ Tracy Wolfson , Kelce was asked if he had a response for those who doubt that his romance with Swift is genuine.

    Travis Kelce

    “You’re all crazy,” he said with a laugh. “Every last one of you, you’re crazy.”

    Kelce said it has been “nothing but fun” to have Swift along with him on the road to Super Bowl LVIII. It’s been a learning experience for them both, he explained during the interview, but it’s also “been an unexpected ride that [he’s] just been having a blast with.”

    Taylor kiss Travis

    Kelce and Swift are said to have begun dating during the summer of 2023, though they didn’t take their relationship public until last fall when Swift began attending Chiefs games . Months later, Swift is now attending her 13th game of the NFL season to watch Kelce’s Chiefs attempt to reclaim the Lombardi Trophy as they take on the San Francisco 49ers.

    Both Clark Hunt , the owner and CEO of the Chiefs, and Roger Goodell , the NFL commissioner, have joined Kelce in brushing aside suspicions of a Swift-Kelce conspiracy.

    Did Jason Kelce confirm a Taylor and Travis romance?

    “It’s very real,” Hunt said last month when asked about the relationship.

    Meanwhile, Goodell said the conspiracy theory was “not even worth talking about.”

    “The idea that this was in a script and this was pre-planned—that’s just nonsense,” Goodell told reporters earlier this month. “There’s no way I could have scripted that one. Let’s just put it that way.”
