Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is sporting an unpleasant face injury. What came about?

The action superstar does not play around in relation to his fitness regimen and used to be busy hurling heaving chains at the fitness center. But, his form might want a little work as the megastar unintentionally hit himself close to his eye, which ended in a laceration. "We ain’t playin’ tiddlywinks and we ain’t reciting nursery rhymes - it’s called the #ironparadise for a reason and things get extremely intense," he captioned the Instagram video. "Threw around my 50lb chains for a drop set - I got lumped up and need stitches."

Though he needed stitches for the small head wound, the 48-year-old used to be no longer about to let that forestall him from completing his exercise regimen. To display his followers simply how "tough" he is, Dwayne licked some of the blood from his head. "Taste your blood, keep training and stitch up later - rules of the house," the social media caption persevered.

He added, "And I can confirm my blood tastes like Teremana, calluses and BlaMoan (black and samoan) Hot Sauce. Have a productive week, my friends - keep it light and a lil’ fun, but get after it like a MF."

And, this is not the first time the hulking actor suffered an injury and decided to paintings via it.

What accidents has The Rock had?

In 2013, the former wrestling celebrity injured himself at Wrestlemania 29 right through a fit with fellow WWE-star-turned-actor John Cena. Dwayne tore his rectus tendon, his adductor from his pelvis, and also had a triple hernia. After getting injured simply 25 minutes into the match, the referee requested the actor if he used to be 'OK.'

Though he knew something was once wrong, Dwayne determined to continue the match for the subsequent 25 mins. 

The injury took place proper before the actor was meant to depart to shoot the film Hercules, which ended in Dwayne undergoing emergency surgical treatment.

"Two weeks before I was supposed to go to Budapest, the injury happened at ‘Mania,’ then the emergency hernia surgery, so by the time I stepped on set in Budapest, I’m still working with two torn tendons from the pelvis, and recovering from triple hernia surgery," he informed Muscle and Fitness

Overall, Dwayne is not going to let injuries (giant or small) stop him from achieving his health targets.
