And I will always run to that opportunity.”
He then went on to sing his praises for director Benny Safdie.
“It was my honor to transform in this role for my director Benny Safdie,” Dwayne wrote. “Thank you brother for believing in me. Truth is this film has changed my life. With deep gratitude, respect and radical empathy, dj.”
The Smashing Machine, which also stars Emily Blunt, tells the story of legendary mixed martial arts and UFC fighter Mark Kerr.
