Dwayne Johnson has revealed that around 50 people were fired from his new film Hercules for trying to leak pictures of him as the legendary hero. Paramount Pictures was keen to keep his new look – complete with facial hair – top secret. Johnson aka The Rock told Cinema Blend that the studio went to great lengths to keep photos of him from being leaked to the media. He said: ‘I would say maybe close to 50 people were fired – crew members – all trying to sneak pictures. ‘So there’s that. There’s mandate, and we all agreed on that.’ Johnson himself was allowed to tweet photos from the set of Brett Ratner’s upcoming historical epic. He explained: ‘I told the studios…”Hey, what I’d like to do is take the audience and the fans on a journey from beginning to end, because it’s such a passion project for me.” ‘So from the time I get to Budapest, I’d like to take them on a journey in terms of what my diet is, what my training is and on set too. ‘They said, ‘Well, how are you going to do that?’ I said, “Well, trust me. Somehow I’m going to do it.”‘
