The Rock gets pulled over after attending Hollywood event
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson didn’t exactly love authority figures during the heights of his WWE run, but ran into the real life version on Thursday.
First posted by TMZ, the global star and TKO Board member was in Hollywood to support co-star and friend Emily Blunt as she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame alongside actor Stanley Tucci.
Afterward, Johnson was pulled over by Los Angeles police for having tinted windows on his car. While tint itself isn’t illegal, certain levels and locations on the windows are. It was unclear from the report if Johnson was ticketed or got a warning.
Johnson starred alongside Blunt on “The Smashing Machine” in addition to “Jungle Cruise.”
While Johnson appeared at the event Thursday, he did not appear at this year’s WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, flying home after CinemaCon in the city to be present for his daughter’s eighth birthday.
It was recently announced his team will be turning “Fighting With My Family” into a musical.
