A luggage delivery service is now offering a moving service in which a Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson lookalike is available for hire. Johnson is a universally recognizable star, appearing in the Fast & Furious franchise, the Jumanji films, and DC's upcoming Black Adam. He's also known for being 6' 5" with an overly muscular physique.
Though he originally had aspirations of playing professional football, Johnson's career took off in the wrestling ring. He signed with WWE (then called WWF) in 1996 and quickly became one of their most popular acts. The Rock then propelled himself into Hollywood superstardom, landing his first movie gig in 2001's The Mummy Returns as the Scorpion King. Now a bonafide movie star recognized the world over, Johnson recently made headlines when pictures of his doppelganger, Alabama patrol officer Eric Fields, went viral. Now, it looks like the delivery company wants to capitalize on the Johnson lookalike craze for themselves.
As reported by CBR, the company, called My Baggage, is offering a unique new service on their website where customers can get "full assistance from 'The Rock' lookalike" with "front-row tickets to the gun show." A half-day of service is $500, and a full day will run you $750. Along with a lookalike moving your belongings, the service allows "'The Rock' to text you with updates about your baggage" through a complete tracking system. The posting, while seemingly real, is written with a humorous tone that plays into the nature of the service with lines like, "Speaking of Fast and Furious, apparently, the films were named after The Rock’s luggage removal technique, but you didn’t hear that from us." However, the My Baggage service also comes with the disclaimer below:
"If you notice that your 'Rock' looks more like his long lost cousin, try not to be too disappointed. Let’s be honest, it’s the closest you’ll get to him."
Johnson is one of the hardest working men in Hollywood, with forthcoming projects including Netflix's Red Notice and DC League of Super-Pets. His Black Adam is expected to be a major playing in the DCEU moving forward, meaning he's likely to return as the anti-hero for more films. And with Jungle Cruise 2 having been officially ordered, Johnson now has yet another franchise to headline.
Given all this, it's unlikely My Baggage customers would actually expect Johnson himself to show up. Still, a disclaimer never hurts as preemptive coverage for the company when their lookalike ends up not looking all that much like the star. Even the photos provided on the My Baggage website only offer a match in muscle tone. However, anyone looking to experience My Baggage's "The Rock" moving service can fill out a form on their website, though the final product may vary from Dwayne Johnson's actual appearance.
