Dwayne Johnson's Moana Makeover: Authenticity & Inspiration

On March 24, Dwayne Johnson is turning heads with his fresh look in the new trailer for

Disney's live-action, Moana, reprising his role as the demigod Mali from the 2016 animated

hit.

The 53-year-old star sports shoulder-length curly hair, animated tattoos, and a ripped

physique while lifting a boat single-handedly.

Earlier this week, Johnson revealed he wore a bulked-up bodysuit to amp up his on-screen

presence.

He also shared why the sequel carries a powerful message for young girls, saying it pushes

back against limits society puts on them, encouraging kids, to chase any dream they want, no matter

their background.

Fans are losing an over-the-hair makeover, a big switch from his usual bald style.

Comments pour it in like, that wig is killing it, and it's his best role yet, because he

finally has long locks.

The trailer has everyone talking about actors going all out for roles.

Even Christian bail-packing on over 40 pounds twice for Oscar nods, or a silly and murphy

dropping weight to just almonds a day for Oppenheimer.

Stars like Charlie Staren, Joaquin Phoenix, and Renee Zellweger, transformed with prosthetics,

diets, and intense training to disappear into, characters.

With Moana hitting theaters July 10th, Johnson's Polynesian-inspired tale looks set to inspire

a new generation while reminding us how far performers go for authenticity.
