Dwayne Johnson has dominated headlines this week for his striking new appearance and transformative roles. Johnson debuted a leaner, noticeably slimmer frame at the Venice Film Festival on August 25, sparking widespread fan buzz on social media. According to Fox News, the shift is part of his intense preparation for the film Lizard Music, in which he plays a whimsical and eccentric 70-something-year-old man called the Chicken Man, whose best friend is, humorously, a chicken. At a Toronto International Film Festival event on September 8, Johnson explained to People Magazine that the new look required him to eat less chicken and keep up a highly disciplined routine. He expressed excitement about undergoing another significant transformation, drawing comparisons to his previous role in The Smashing Machine, where he portrayed MMA fighter Mark Kerr with the help of up to 14 daily prosthetics. Johnson described the Kerr role as nerve-wracking, admitting to Vanity Fair that he had not felt that level of nervousness in years and questioned whether he could pull it off, but ultimately found it profoundly rewarding.
Social media, especially fans on X and Threads, lit up with comments about Johnson’s leaner physique. Some marveled at his ability to command any room, with posts like He’s so lean and The Rock slimming down and still owning every room legendary glow-up unlocked. CelebrityScoop USA reported that fans have been closely tracking his slimmer look across recent appearances and posts, speculating about the reasons for it before Johnson’s public clarification. Clips from Venice and Toronto have trended for days, further cementing his place as both a physical transformation icon and an ever-evolving entertainer.
While film commitments and public appearances dominated his recent press, there were no major reports of new business ventures or significant shakeups in his production company portfolio this week, nor any controversial headlines involving Johnson. Reports of further weight loss are all tied to his stated preparation for Lizard Music and not to health concerns, putting speculation to rest for now. With his transformative roles, candid interviews, and viral red-carpet appearances, Johnson’s every move is being watched, setting up his latest projects to be not only personal milestones but pop culture events.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
