Nobody is tougher than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Nobody. So it doesn’t seem so out of the ordinary when you see him smiling through an injury as dopey as a dislocated finger. “Oh, hey, I’m The Rock, and here is my mutilated finger. No big.” Sure, I’d buy it.
Well, that’s precisely what the gigantic wrestler-turned-actor revealed on Instagram today on the set of his new film Central Intelligence, confirming through graphic imagery what his 20 million followers already knew: The Rock is a total badass.
Although we’re in the age of high-profile finger injuries, this still looks pretty disgusting. But if you can take a second to stop dry-heaving and look a little closer, you’ll notice that Johnson’s twisted finger is an obvious fake.
In true tattle-tale form, a rep from New Line confirmed to Variety that the hand is, in fact, a prosthetic.
If you’re feeling like a jabroni for falling for such a silly gag, don’t sweat. Johnson and his co-star, Kevin Hart, have been having a blast filming Central Intelligence and yucking it up all over the Internet.
They’re the Laurel and Hardy of the 21st century.Central Intelligence, directed by Rawson Thurber (We’re the Millers, Dodgeball), will hit theaters May 2016.
