Dwayne Johnson is trading his action-hero look for that of a 70-year-old man in Lizard Music, his upcoming fantasy adventure directed by Benny Safdie. The actor, 54, was recently spotted filming in Brooklyn, New York, sporting an aged appearance created with extensive prosthetics. The film marks Johnson’s reunion with Safdie after they collaborated on the sports drama The Smashing Machine.
