Triple H congratulates The Rock on Golden Globe nomination
Triple H praised The Rock following his Golden Globe nomination.
On Raw, the announcers took time to congratulate The Rock, who was nominated for Best Male Actor in a Motion Picture (Drama) for his role as MMA fighter Mark Kerr in ‘The Smashing Machine.’ On social media, Triple H reposted WWE’s congratulations and offered his own.
“Want to extend my congratulations on behalf of the entire @WWE family to @TheRock on his @goldenglobes nomination for The Smashing Machine. I know that he gave his all to this role and the performance on screen showed it. Today’s announcement is a recognition of that hard work,” Triple H said.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, The Rock explained what the nomination means to him and what it represents, saying he feels it’s a nod to people who have fought for things in their life.
“On top of that, I think the nomination represents the fight in everybody, especially with addictions and those demons that you battle,” he said. “Mark Kerr had it all and lost everything, and then has since become sober. He did overdose twice. Life is good because he’s sober and because he made it. Not everyone is that lucky. That’s the movie that we wanted to make: a nod to those who fight.”
Emily Blunt, The Rock’s co-star, also got a nomination for her performance in the movie.
