Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has proven many times that his participation in an action movie is the key to its success at the global box office. However, in 2011, when the shooting of the detective thriller Jack Reacher began, the movie creators opted for the different, and no less famous actor, Tom Cruise. “Yup, luv the character. ’Bout 10 years ago I went after the role, but Cruise got it. Was great motivation for me to always stay hungry,” Dwayne once wrote on his Twitter page.
