Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt hit the Venice International Film Festival to promote their new movie The Smashing Machine. At the 82nd annual festival, they appeared at both a photocall and the film’s premiere, joined by Mark Kerr himself—the former UFC/MMA fighter Johnson portrays in the biopic. The film follows Kerr’s rise in the sport and his battles with addiction. Blunt plays Kerr’s then-wife, Dawn Staples. Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems) wrote, directed, and produced the project. The premiere drew a massive reaction, earning a 15-minute standing ovation that left Johnson in tears. The Smashing Machine hits theaters Oct. 3.
