The Rock to produce Ric Flair biopic

Ric Flair is receiving the biopic treatment with help from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Johnson's production company, Seven Bucks Productions, is developing a project based on Flair's life, according to Drew Taylor of TheWrap. Johnson described the project as "personal," noting that he's known Flair since he was eight years old.

"As a wild kid who grew up in the wild world of professional wrestling, I idolized, 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair. He was one of my heroes," Johnson wrote on X. "And once I broke into the wrestling business and began to spill my own sweat and blood in arenas across America, my reverence for Ric turned to great respect.

"Because I realized just how rare and almost impossible it is to truly disrupt the wrestling business, and truly change the game, and that's exactly what Ric Flair did."

Flair began wrestling professionally in the 1970s, adopting the moniker "The Nature Boy." The 74-year-old is the first wrestler to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice and is also a member of the NWA Hall of Fame, the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame, and the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame.
