As reported by The New York Times, NBC hired budding actor and Tuscaloosa, Ala. native Bradley Constant to portray Dwayne Johnson during his teenage phase.
During an interview with PopSugar in February 2021, Constant revealed that he had just put in a hard day's work bagging groceries at a local supermarket when he found out he had landed the role portraying the 15-year-old Johnson. "I got a call from my rep who said, 'Hi, am I speaking to the one who is starring as Dwayne Johnson at 15 years old in the new show Young Rock?" he revealed.
And as it turns out, the young star not only had the acting chops necessary to portray The Rock but also the right look, too! "Not often do roles come along where it literally feels like you could just plug yourself right into it. I look a good bit like him. I'm pretty tall," he gushed during an February 2021 interview with Al.com. So it's true! Constant is, in fact, a dead ringer for Johnson during his teenage years! But hey, don't let us sway you. We'll let you be the judge of that!
