Dwayne Johnson cedes control of being his family’s bulkiest member to a 1500-pound ‘gangsta’

No laughing in the back, but The Rock has found a bigger Johnson.

Even though he’s descended from a long line of athletes and professional wrestlers – with his oldest daughter Simone currently making history as the first fourth-generation grappler in WWE history – you’d have thought Dwayne Johnson would always reign supreme as the bulkiest member of his family.

After all, the actor and producer’s social media feeds are regularly deluged with the insane workouts required to maintain such startling dimensions at the age of 51, while one of the major selling points of his entire onscreen persona is the fact that he’s mountainously jacked, something at least one other character seems contractually obligated to point out in each of his projects.

However, after recently recruiting a new member into his clan, The Rock may be experiencing confidence issues now that he’s no longer the biggest Johnson on the scene. Hopping onto Instagram to offer an insight into what he does during his downtime, it turns out that he loves nothing more than hanging out with his latest buddy.

Those who’ve followed Johnson’s career since the beginning will know the Brahma bull is a fitting companion, given that he’s got a tattoo on his arm that became one of the most well-known pieces of iconography throughout his in-ring days, and can currently be found plastered all over his Project Rock merchandise he develops alongside Under Armour.

No longer the beefiest kid on the block, then, let’s hope that despite his voracious appetite, the 1500-pound gangster remains a friend instead of becoming food.
