The Rock couldn’t get his home’s gate to open. So he ripped it right off

ATLANTA — Never underestimate what the Rock is cooking. Even objects like metal gates learn that the hard way.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson films a lot in Georgia, including the upcoming DC comic book film “Black Adam” and Netflix film “Red Notice”. Both movies resumed work in Atlanta this month.

But Johnson ran into a small snag trying to get to work last week.

Remnants of Hurricane Sally moved through Georgia and knocked out the power to his gate, which he tried to open. A repairman couldn’t get there for another hour, so the Rock did what he had to do.

“Ripped it completely out of the brick wall, severed the steel hydraulics and threw it on the grass,” the Rock wrote on his social accounts. “My security team was able to meet the gate technician and welders about an hour later — and they were apparently, “in disbelief and equally scared” as to how I ripped it off 🤣Not my finest hour, but I had to go to work.”

There’s no fun in that,” he wrote. “Jokes aside, THANK YOU to the techs and welders who mobilized very quickly in the morning to come over and take care of the destruction. Thank you, gentlemen. Just one of those days where I wasn’t in the mood. We’ve all been there.”

Next time, Mother Nature will probably remember not to mess with the People’s Champion.
