The Rock's production company, Seven Bucks, is bringing the story of "The Nature Boy" to the big screen.
On Wednesday, Dwayne Johnson spoke with The Wrap and confirmed plans for his production company to create a biopic based on the legendary life and career of WWE Hall of Fame legend Ric Flair.
"As a kid who grew up in professional wrestling, I idolized, ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair," he said. "He was a hero to me. And once I broke into the wrestling business and began to spill my own sweat and blood – my reverence for Ric turned to respect."
He continued, "Because I realized just how rare and impossible it is to disrupt the wrestling business, culture and truly change the game – and that’s exactly what Ric Flair did. This project is personal, and we can’t wait to tell his unbelievable story. As always, thank you for the house, Ric."
