The Hollywood star is set to play the lead role in A24’s The Smashing Machine which will focus on the life and career of fighter Mark Kerr. On June 11th, Rock posted a video to social media where he announced that he had suffered an injury and revealed that his elbow had become extremely swollen. In a follow-up post, Rock detailed his incredibly bruised elbow and confirmed that he has a ruptured bursa sac but thankfully no extensive damage:
Elbow got kissed by the boo boo monster 👹 💪🏾 No extensive tissue damage. Ruptured bursa sac that will eventually heal. I’ve had much worse, and as always let pain – and tequila – be the guide 😈 Back to work. #thesmashingmachine #bennysafdie (thank you all for the love and healing/medicine recommendations ❤️🩹 Im good 👍🏾)
The Rock To Produce Another Biopic
