Well, the bulging muscles are certainly all there. And, the eyebrow action is promising. But the Rock's going to have to brush up on his Elvis voice and most importantly grow a huge blonde quiff pretty darn quickly if he's going to fulfil his new role of Johnny Bravo. The latest cartoon star in the pipeline to hit the big screen, cinematic rights for the self-styled Elvis of the Cartoon Network has been bought up by Warner Brothers with the sole intention of casting the bemuscled wrestler in the handsome animated man's shoes. And whose bright idea was this, you ask? Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's, apparently. Producer Marty Adelstein commented, "When the Rock mentioned that he was a big fan of 'Johnny Bravo' and thought it was a great idea for a movie, we thought it was a natural fit and potentially a great role for him to play." What, The Rock as a brainless, ego-driven fool whose only success with women happens when he goes home to his Mum? A little harsh, perhaps.
