Dwayne Johnson opens up about getting Taylor Swift tickets: I had to pull strings

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has revealed that even celebrities face challenges when it comes to securing tickets for Taylor Swift's Eras tour.

Johnson shared that a close friend reached out with an unusual request for help finding tickets to Swift's concert, after struggling to find affordable options.

Determined to assist, Johnson tried his usual methods but hit a wall.

"For the first time in my career, I had to pull strings. Usually, I just make it happen," he told Entertainment Tonight.

Despite his reluctance to ask for favors, he reached out to Swift's team, and his efforts paid off.

"I made a little call, Taylor made it happen, [we got] tickets," he said, adding that his friend was ecstatic.

"I got the picture of the happy ladies who were there. I appreciate that about Taylor."

The Rock's busy schedule

Johnson is juggling several major projects. He reprises his role as Maui in Moana 2, the sequel to Disney's 2016 animated hit.

Last week, he attended the world premiere in Hawaii alongside his wife, Lauren Hashian, their daughters Jasmine, eight, and Tiana, six, and his mother, Ata Johnson.

Additionally, Johnson is filming a live-action adaptation of Moana, set for release next summer, where he will once again portray the Hawaiian demigod Maui.

The actor's eldest daughter, Simone Garcia Johnson, 23, also joined him at the premiere. Known in the wrestling world as Ava Raine, she has followed in her father's footsteps into the WWE.

The Black Adam workout regimen

Known for his discipline, Johnson's dedication to fitness remains central to his lifestyle.

During his preparation for Black Adam, the actor showcased his six-day workout routine on Instagram, which focuses on building dense, dry muscle for action-heavy roles.

"Been working extremely hard dieting, training, and conditioning unlike any other role of my career," he shared.

"It's a real science that takes months to dial in... with my strength & conditioning coach, who keeps a very watchful eye, constantly fine-tuning our strategy daily."
