The Rock has clearly been practicing his superhero skills, as he put them to work ripping his own gate off its hinges so he could go to work after a power outage. The actor and former wrestler posted to Instagram with an image of his electric gate on the ground next to his driveway, noting that he had to destroy the gate after he had to get to the set of his latest film Red Notice.
Rock posted:
“Not my finest hour, but I had to go to work. We experienced a power outage due to severe storms, causing my front gate not to open. I tried to override the hydraulic system to open the gates, which usually works when power goes out – but this time it wouldn’t. Made some calls to see how fast I can get the gate tech on site, but I didn’t have 45min to wait. By this time, I know I have hundreds of production crew members waiting for me to come to work so we can start our day. So I did what I had to do. I pushed, pulled and ripped the gate completely off myself. Ripped it completely out of the brick wall, severed the steel hydraulics and threw it on the grass. My security team was able to meet the gate technician and welders about an hour later — and they were apparently, “in disbelief and equally scared” as to how I ripped it off Not my finest hour, but a man’s gotta go to work And I’m ready to be BLACK ADAM”
