HE’S one of the biggest and most recognisable movie stars in the world – but now the Rock is getting in on the drinks business.
The star – real name Dwayne Johnson – is bringing out a new brand of TEQUILA and it could be available very soon.
The movie star – who has starred in Jumanji, Moana and The Fast and Furious franchise – posted a photo to his 138million Instagram followers, showing him testing his new tequila brand.
He said in the post: “Spent all weekend taste testing every batch of my new tequila fresh out of our barrels from Mexico. I’m very passionate about my new tequila we’re developing. It’s been years in the making and every road has led here.
“It’s been years in the making and every road has led here. Lots of growing excitement. Mana, passion, positivity, hard work and fun. This ones for you world, let’s have a drink.”
Johnson applied last year to the U.S Trademark and Patent Office to secure the rights to the name Mana, but his application was knocked back as it was too similar to other existing brands.
In Polynesian culture, Mana is an supernatural essence which can give super powers to whoever possess it.
In the pic, The Rock poses in front of a number of bottles, and it appears he’s bringing out a full range of the popular Mexican spirit.
Bottles are labelled ‘Anejo’, an two-year aged tequila best for sipping, ‘Silver’, which is great for cocktails, and ‘Reposado’ – which you’re most likely to find in a shot glass with a lime and a handful of salt.
It is not the first time The Rock has stepped into a new field.
After a decorated professional wrestling career, The Rock made the decision to leave the ring behind and pursue an acting career.
Since then, Johnson has become one of the most recognisable actors across the globe and has an estimated net worth of £129million.
In 2018 the actor made headlines after making £94m in a single year – the most cash by an actor to grace the Forbes Celebrity 100 list.
