Johnson. I never wanted to force it. I just wanted it to happen naturally - to go from The Rock, a character that I created for wrestling and a nickname that I had, to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and eventually I knew that I would get to Dwayne Johnson."
So does that mean "The Rock" is dead? Although his wrestling days are behind him and he finally has his real name on the movie posters, he's hesitant to let go of the moniker completely. "Well, people still call me it. It's my nickname. And by the way, it's a cool nickname," he says, switching on another ear-to-ear grin. Near the end of the interview, someone asks him, simply, why people should go see Southland Tales. An open-ended question like that could send an actor's answer off in wildly different directions - praising the script, the director, the co-stars. But he's already said all of that. "Boy, that's a good question," he jokes, biding his time. Finally it dawns on him: his old standby. "I think they should see it if they want to be challenged when they watch a movie." Of course. Time's almost up. But lest you think Johnson is content giving us nothing but predetermined, soundbite-friendly answers, he leaves us with a tantalizing bit of random information. The conversation has rolled around to food, and he leans in close. "Double-dough pizza," he states. "It's a secret. You order a pizza, and you tell them to double-dough it. Just two pieces of dough together on the bottom, so it's a lot thicker. Nice and fat." One final time, he grins. "It's awesome."
