BREAKING NEWS: The Rock Declines $200 Million Role at Disney, States He Won’t Participate in “Woke Culture” | HO
Johnson, who has starred in everything from jungle adventures to fast cars and family-friendly fluff, seems to have suddenly discovered his inner philosopher. “I refuse to be part of the woke agenda,” he allegedly declared, as if turning down a Disney role would singlehandedly rewrite Hollywood’s moral compass.
Critics are scratching their heads over what exactly triggered The Rock’s moral epiphany. Was it the thought of starring in another movie with talking animals? Or did someone finally tell him that “woke” just means… being inclusive and aware of social issues?
Meanwhile, fans are divided. Some hail him as a champion of “traditional values,” while others wonder if the man who starred in Tooth Fairy is really in a position to be this choosy. Social media, of course, is having a field day. Memes of The Rock standing heroically against “woke” animated princesses are flooding the internet faster than you can say “box office flop.”
Disney, for its part, has stayed silent, though one can imagine executives quietly sliding that $200 million over to another star who’s a bit less, shall we say, philosophically burdened.
So, what’s next for The Rock? A new chapter as the poster boy for anti-woke cinema? Or maybe he’ll surprise us all by writing a memoir titled Rock Solid Principles: Why I Chose Integrity Over $200 Million. Either way, stay tuned—this saga of Hollywood heroics is just getting started.
