After playing an MMA fighter in Benny Safdie's sports biopic The Smashing Machine, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is reteaming with the director in his upcoming movie Lizard Music, in which the star will take on the role of a 70-year-old man… who is best friends with a chicken.
"Benny pitched me this after. And after about 45 minutes, this pitch ended and I said, 'I am your Chicken Man,'" said Johnson at a career retrospective talk at the Toronto International Film Festival, via Variety. According to Johnson, the film will see him take on the role of a "whimsical, eccentric 70-something-year-old" known as Chicken Man.
