14 DAY TRIAL // This Friday, one of the movies we’ve been hearing and talking about all year, “Hercules: The Thracian Wars,” with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the lead, arrives in theaters worldwide. During his appearance on Jimmy Fallon, The Rock explained how he managed to get in shape to play the legendary Hercules.
Apparently, he did it with some help from The Fungo Brothers, whose workout videos he found in the basement. VHS, man, do you remember those days?
The Rock is never the kind of guy to back out of doing a comedy skit, so he and Fallon played the twins who almost became famous as fitness gurus back in the day, the Fungos.
This means that the two got to wear crazy wigs and outdated workout gear and to try their hand at some of the fitness equipment that was so popular many years ago, like the thigh cruncher.
However, the best part of this episode of Fallon’s show is The Rock. Say what you will about his acting skills (and plenty has been said already, mostly about how he could never be a “serious” actor) but he sure knows how to do comedy. He’s also a great interview subject, but right now, let’s focus on his comedic skills.
Check out the skit in full below.
