“You realize that there’s the machine, and then there’s the human being within the machine.”Dwayne Johnson shares the powerful reason why he felt it was deeply personal to immerse himself fully into the role of MMA icon Mark Kerr in the upcoming film “The Smashing Machine”Written & Directed by Benny Safdie Read the full Q&A with Johnson and Kerr in SI’s bio📸: Clay Patrick McBride/Sports Illustrated

AMAZING in depth conversation with my brothers @markkerrtsm & @joerogan @joeroganexperience. Joe LOVED our film, “The Smashing Machine” and he understands the deep layers and harsh nuances that every fighter goes through. When winning can often become the enemy, and pain & addiction becomes as consistent as the sun rises every day. It was my absolute honor to transform into Mark Kerr, gain his trust, tell his story and represent the beautiful sport of MMA. #TheSmashingMachine In theaters October 3Written & Directed by Benny Safdie @bowedtie

Thanks for coming out to the farm @cbssundaymorning & @thattracysmith 🙏🏾People will encourage you to stay in your comfort zone, as it will often benefit them. And then we even convince ourselves to not the rock the boat and stay comfortable. I reached a point where I just got tired of being comfortable ya know? Best decision I ever made, as it’s had a big impact on every area of my life. Hungry to grow, hungry for challenges. Hold my tequila 🤣🥃

A personal inside look at The Smashing Machine. Never expected this to happen, but this film has changed my life and illuminated parts of me I didn’t know existed. Very freeing for me. Emily’s performance in this film absolutely shakes your soul. She’s the heartbreaking truth that the loved ones of fighters, often sacrifice themselves too. Our writer & director, @bowedtie Benny Safdie provided a singularly inspired, and safe place for us to go raw, take flight, transform, and eventually- a hard landing. Thank you Benny. In the end, you realize that true self-acceptance - and being at peace with who you are - can be life’s biggest win. The Smashing Machine @a24 In theaters October 3rd

I feel like dreams are something we can contextualize. We imagine things and scenarios in our minds. This was far beyond my imagination and something my heart had a hard time comprehending. We were all deeply moved to our core. Benny, Emily, Mark, and myself. Thank you Venice Film Festival 🇮🇹❤️🙏🏾#smashingmachine
