THE ROCK'S PRANKS KEEP ARNOLD'S SPIRIT HIGH! Two legends, two friends, two paths! Reported By: Randy Jennings Monday, April 15, 2002 As WWF's The Rock has a new action film to promote, the bulky wrestler continues to discuss one of his very good friends - Arnold Schwarzenegger. It is obvious these two have a similar playful sense of humor that will keep them close friends for years to come. "Oh yes, Rock, yoo-arr do-eeng fan-tah-steek, yah!" said The Rock, performing a killer Schwarzenegger impression for The Post at the movie's L.A. junket. In real life, the two are friends. After Schwarzenegger cracked his ribs in a motorcycle accident last year, The Rock sent him a tricycle in the hospital. Schwarzenegger also came to the set of The Scorpion King to wish its star well. Scorpion King director Chuck Russell talks of the similarities between the two Hollywood heavyweights. "It's worth comparing," said Russell, who also directed Schwarzenegger in 1996's "Eraser." "They're two entirely different people, but they both have a sort of amazing background athletically. And, if I can risk being corny, they're both champions. The comparisons have been great," The Rock said. "But his shoes are really big to fill. Not that I'm not confident or ambitious, but I'd prefer just to make my own path and do my own thing. ---------- |
