- In the video above, The Rock talks to Fast Company about his career. When asked if he wants to win an Oscar, the Rock noted that while it would be cool, his goal is to keep evolving and putting out quality work.

- The Rock also revealed on Twitter today that his upcoming Baywatch movie will release on May 19, 2017 and that his love interest will be Ilfenesh Hadera (Oldboy, Chi-Raq):

EXCLUSIVE: Casting my #BAYWATCH love interest wasn't easy (extremely tough job but hey I'm one of the producers;) but we finally found her. For our coveted role of "STEF", she had to be a lot of things: Strong, intelligent, formidable, beautiful and funny. Want to welcome the talented @ilfenator Ilfenesh Hadera to our #BAYWATCH family. She's a 5'11 walkin' smokestack with legs for days. Smart and tougher than new rope.. just the way we like 'em. And seeing as she's playing my love interest – my strong calloused hands are the ONLY HANDS allowed to rub suntan oil on her soft supple skin. You hear that Efron? Step out of line Zac and she'll knock your unattractive candy ass into next week. Mine too??. Our dope cast is coming together nicely with a few more big announcements/cool surprises along the way. Let's have some rated R fun.. We are the keepers of "The Bay". We are... #BAYWATCH. #SandSquadUpInThisb—h ??????????????
