  • Hobbs & Shaw is set to be released on August 2.

  • The film stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Idris Elba, and Jason Statham.

  • Elba and Statham revealed that they were impressed with The Rock's gym routine.


We all love Dwayne Johnson for his super positive attitude, his dedication to his family, and his long list of action movies. But let's be real here—we also love the guy because of his incredibly large muscles. But as it turns out, we're not the only ones impressed by The Rock's rigorous gym routine.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is set to be released on August 2, and ahead of the film's release, Johnson's co-stars are singing his praises. Jason Statham, who plays the titular Shaw to Johnson's Hobbs, told E! News that while he won't be shirtless in Hobbs & Shaw, fans will get an eyeful of Johnson. "This is one of the very few movies where I don't take my shirt off," he said. "Dwayne looks incredible."

Idris Elba also chimed in, and he said that Johnson's dedication to looking after himself was motivational. "I'm really impressed with [Dwayne's] fitness regime, how he looks after his body. He definitely inspired me. I'm not a gym person," Elba noted. "I like training for fighting and stuff, but what he does is very specific and he looks after every muscle group he has. It's incredible."

Statham also showed some love to Elba, who makes his first entry into the Fast & Furious world with Hobbs & Shaw. "Idris is one of the most intense actors in terms of the quality that he brings. Not only did we need that, we needed someone with an incredible physicality that is authentic, and I think the authentic background that Idris has in fight game gives credence to these moments," he said. "He's so good!"
