I understand you read the the script for ‘Pain & Gain’ a while back….?
Dwayne Johnson: I did. Michael Bay let me read the script over 10 years ago, and I knew back then that this was a passion project of his. I read it, I loved it then, I wanted to be a part of it, and I wanted to make the movie with him. But at that time I had a project at the time and then he had another little project, a very little project, called ‘Transformers’ (laughs). Those three little movies came into play and took him away for a long time (laughs).
