The Rock has had an interesting journey from renowned wrestler to A-list Hollywood celebrity. In his most recent film, “Hercules,” he is finally playing the role he has always wanted, but to get there, he had to make some tough decisions about his career, like firing his agents. We asked the singer if there was a particular movie that influenced his decision when we recently visited with him. You can see the complete interview up top.

“You must surround yourself with individuals who share your belief when you have a vision and want it to be carried out in a particular way.”Additionally, I realized I needed to change because of certain circumstances that were happening at the time.” His business manager and ex-wife Dany Garcia told The Hollywood Reporter that Dwayne was “moving away from his core of who he was,” therefore he changed publicists and agencies after 2010’s “The Tooth Fairy.”

Ever the diplomat, Johnson, meanwhile, refrained from singling out and denouncing the critically panned 20 Century Fox comedy. That was not on a single movie. It just happened gradually, and all I needed were companions who shared my goal. The team has definitely benefited from being reorganized around him.

Thanks to his new agency, he has been offered roles in numerous successful television shows, including “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,” “G.I. Joe,” “Fast and Furious,” and now “Hercules.” John Chu, the director of “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” gave the actor the moniker “Franchise Viagra” in recognition of his ability to revive long-dormant film brands. It’s a fitting moniker for the quickly emerging celebrity. “Hercules” premieres in theaters on Friday.
