A Hidden Gem With A Memorable Dwayne Johnson Cameo

That film is the 2019 biographical sports comedy-drama Fighting with My Family. Although The Rock doesn’t play the lead role in the movie, he makes a brief yet memorable appearance in this often-overlooked film.

Fighting With My Family – Plot & Cast

Written and directed by Stephen Merchant, the film is inspired by Max Fisher’s 2012 documentary The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family. The story follows former English wrestler Ricky (Nick Frost) and his wife Julia (Lena Headey), who perform at small-time wrestling venues across the UK.

When their children, Saraya (played by Florence Pugh) and Zak (played by Jack Lowden), get a golden opportunity to audition for the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), they soon discover the tough demands and unexpected challenges of becoming a WWE star. Dwayne Johnson makes a brief appearance in the film, playing himself as The Rock. The film also features Vince Vaughn as a WWE veteran trainer.
