Fametracker compares the career tragectories of Vin Diesel and The Rock in its Battle of the Beefy Bald B-Movie Bad-Asses. As is only to be expected, The Rock emerges triumphant.
I mention this only because I saw an interview with The Rock (is it appropriate to capitalize “The”?) on a recent episode of The Daily Show, and, in addition to being a beefy, bald, b-movie bad-ass, he is adorable in ways I’m ashamed to acknowledge. Well, not too ashamed, obviously, but…
As Fametracker’s Wing Chun puts it, “The Rock will grin in a way that makes your knees melt, and when he shakes your hand with his gigantic paw, you will feel like a dainty little thing. You may blush.” And, exactly. And if there is a heart out there that could remain unmoved by the spectacle of The Rock and John Stewart geeking out over The Rock’s participation in the movie version of Doom, that heart is made of stone. I’m sorry, but it is.
Try not to judge me too harshly.
