While many people have been inspired by the movie because of the way it portrays African culture and spotlights many black actors, that’s actually not the part that The Rock is using for inspiration.
The man needs motivation and while The Rock says he finds that motivation in his family, like his two daughters, and the third that’s on the way, right now he’s apparently finding motivation in Black Panther.
Dwayne Johnson is one of the hardest working guys in Hollywood, but that work ethic doesn’t just come from nowhere.
He’s being driven by the fact that Black Panther’s box office has beaten the crap out of his recent film, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
