WWE legend and film star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson unveiled a shockingly slim look at the Venice International Film Festival on Monday and it's got people worried.

Check it out:

Yeah, that's The Rock!

And people are reporting that he recently lost 60 pounds!

Despite the eye-opening change, The Daily Mail reports that The Rock, long known for his impossibly muscular build, has simply slimmed down for his health and to be taken more seriously as an actor.

X users quickly flooded the microblogging site with comments about his image, writing: 'People are stunned seeing The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) leaner than ever. This isn't just a new diet or AI β€” it's a conscious medical and lifestyle shift...

Away from online speculation, the star told of his β€˜dreams' to be recognised as a serious actor following his wildly successful pivot from wrestling to acting.

Truth be told, maintaining a bodybuilder-like physique isn't just hard work β€” it's also not as healthy as you might expect, especially for guys in their 50s.

So if you can smell what The Rock is cooking ...

… chances are it's something light and low in carbs.

On another note, viewers really seemed to enjoy his new movie, The Smashing Machine.
