The Rock fears his wife more than the monsters

LOS ANGELES -- Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson may be a muscle-bound ex-professional wrestler, but the 6-foot-4 actor is a big softy when it comes to women.
In a recent interview to promote the new movie "Doom," the star revealed that he's not looking forward to his wife's violent reaction after she sees him romancing two women in his upcoming film "Southland Tales."
"You can't really top having Mandy Moore as a wife and Sarah Michelle Gellar as your girlfriend. Mandy Moore is a senator's daughter, and Sarah Michelle Gellar is a porn star," he says, referring to his co-stars' characters. "So, yeah. There'll be a homicide after my wife sees it."
Precedent
Johnson has reason to be concerned. After watching his steamy love scene in 2004's "Walking Tall" -- in which Ashley Scott gets a piece of The Rock (so to speak) -- his wife, Dany, walloped him on the head.
Ever the intrepid performer, The Rock says that he's willing to risk his wife's wrath to play a romantic comedy lead. "I would love that," he says. "I've gotten a couple of romantic comedy scripts, but they've just not been that good."
Although some may doubt the macho man's ability to express the more tender emotions, Johnson says that his most demanding scenes in "Doom" aren't the ones where he's grappling with demons down dark corridors. Instead, he felt the most strain on days he had to yell at British actress Rosamund Pike. In the film, he plays Sarge, who becomes enraged when his orders are thwarted and takes it out on Pike's character, Dr. Samantha Grimm.
