Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Confirms His ‘Moana’ Muscles Are Borrowed—Courtesy of a Fancy Bodysuit

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has confirmed that his insanely ripped shirtless look in the upcoming live-action Moana movie isn’t the result of endless bench presses or a diet of raw tuna and dreams—it’s actually a body suit! Yes, Maui’s legendary pecs are not homegrown but Hollywood-made. Shocking, we know.

Last week, set photos leaked faster than a broken faucet, and fans collectively lost their minds over The Rock’s apparent upgrade from “buff” to “Greek statue with a personal trainer.” The 52-year-old actor, reprising his role as the demigod Maui, had everyone believing he’d added a few new dimensions to his already Herculean physique. Spoiler alert: he didn’t.

“Yeah, that’s a suit,” The Rock spilled to Extra, probably crushing the hopes of gym bros everywhere. “It took a long time to put on. So when people said, ‘Wow, you bulked up,’ I was like, ‘Yes, mission accomplished!’ Translation: you totally fell for it.”

And it’s no easy feat, apparently. “This thing takes hours every day to apply,” he revealed, probably wishing Maui wore a T-shirt and cargo shorts. But the real kicker? Paparazzi went full ninja mode to snag those pics. “We built walls to keep them out,” he explained, “but they got boats. Like, actual boats. Who does that?” (Answer: people who really care about shirtless Rock photos, clearly.)

Despite the leak, Johnson’s excitement for the film is unshaken. “I’m glad people like it. I can’t wait for you to see the movie—2026, mark your calendars!” (That’s right, 2026. Long enough for us to forget about this whole bodysuit thing, probably.)

In the meantime, fans can look forward to Moana 2—the animated sequel—hitting theaters this November. It’s shaping up to be the biggest movie of the year, proving Maui’s charm works just as well in pixels as in prosthetics.

The Rock’s Maui bod is 100% Hollywood magic. But hey, if anyone can make wearing a muscle suit seem cool, it’s him. Rock on, Maui, rock on.
