Dwayne Johnson has injured his elbow while filming his latest movie, The Smashing Machine.
The Rock is playing MMA fighter Mark Kerr who fought in the early no-holds-barred iterations of the UFC, Pride and other various MMA tournaments in the 90’s.
Johnson posted the following video on social media showing off the injured elbow which is swollen with fluid.
“As you guys know, I’m filming a movie called The Smashing Machine,” says Johnson in the video. “Anytime your film is called The Smashing Machine, well, you’re kind of going to get smashed up.”
The Rock says once the fluid is removed he’ll get an MRI to measure the extent of the damage.
“Look at that sucker right there,” he adds, pointing to the swelling in his elbow. “It looks like I have a cantaloupe in the bottom of my elbow. I got banged up pretty good today in our scenes, and there might be some soft tissue damage in there.”
It’s unclear how the injury happened.

The Smashing Machine is directed by Benny Safdie and also stars Emily Blunt.
