It’s no secret that Dwayne Johnson is what you might call a coconut personality, with a tough and rugged exterior, but with a soft and tender core. Much like that, in his latest interview with Men’s Health, the actor opened up about what drives him to achieve his goals and how he could never become like some iconic actors.
His journey has come a long way, from famed wrestler to on-screen superhero. He became an icon for his fans and even quickly became a household name. However, Johnson thinks he can never compare to Will Smith and Johnny Depp.

Dwayne Johnson believes he could never join Will Smith and Johnny Depp
He said in his interview that if it was ever to be a comparison to Will Smith, George Clooney and Johnny Depp; Dwayne Johnson as an actor with 20 years of experience still couldn’t reach their levels. His entire acting caliber stems from his father’s teachings of discipline and even with a 6 meal plan, he can handle his peak performance.
“What keeps me up at night is how everything is going, the things we have planned, the things I can control. Making the right choices, thinking about my family, my babies, my all the other things that are going on.
All of his routine and rigor have all evolved from the very young age of just five years old, and none of it could ever compare to actors such as Depp and Smith. He even said that to become an actor like them, he would have had to confine himself to a box, which he felt unable to do.

Dwayne Johnson revealed more about himself and becoming Black Adam
The actor even told how it took fifteen years to black adam to finally come to life, the idea slowly coming to fruition with patience and hope.
“You have a character like Black Adam, who is, depending on how you interpret his philosophies, is he a superhero, an antihero, or just a villain? Now the difference is that in Superman there is a code of ethics that Superman abides by which is why he is the greatest superhero.
The very fact that no actor had ever played the character before was significant enough for Johnson.
“Superman won’t kill anyone. Black Adam, on the other hand, you can’t finish your sentence if you mean harm to him or his family.
In fact, his costume had no muscle padding and Dwayne Johnson had to work extremely hard to get into the costume and make it memorable.
