It was also recently that The Rock posted a picture on his Instagram account with one of Canada’s most debated culinary exports, Hawaiian pizza. The caption said, ‘Got the glorious text from my strength & conditioning coach @daverienzi that read “DJ, need a mid week carb up for your big scenes tomorrow. Eat a pizza and send me your pics in the morning” to which I responded – Watch. This. We’re having fun strategically manipulating my diet/body for shooting HOBBS & SHAW (my Fast & Furious spin-off film) and I love these midweek pizza carb ups like a drunk loves free peanuts. As for my pizza toppings – keep in mind, I’m the guy who likes to put tequila and brown sugar in my oatmeal, so pineapple on pizza is MY JAM – with ham.#PizzaCarbUp #StrategicManipulation #HobbsAndShaw #MyPizzaMyRules’
