The Rock: Face Or Heel?
10. Attire
Face:
The Rock had no right to look as cool as he did in 1999. If it were anybody else dressed like that, you'd be convinced they were trying to look like a d*ckhead on purpose. Rock pulled off the most garish sh*t imaginable because he was the Rock, and the Rock was the epitome of cool. To illustrate just how cool he was, he swaggered to the point of parody and raised an eyebrow centimetres from its vortex. Sideburns, unbuttoned stag do shirts, shades indoors, loafers: Rock's '70s porno schtick made you not want to trim your pubes.
That 2012 Boots 2 Asses shirt was bobbins, mind.
Heel:
That tracksuit phase was weird, but unavoidable, per the "rumour and innuendo". Rock however looked amazing...
ly awful in 2003, absolutely (and deliberately) nailing that quintessentially c*nty Hollywood behaviour of dressing like a prize prick the second an iota of success flecks the lips. The Rock wore matching leather, in the form of a waistcoat and baggy pants, and looked a right tw*t. But he was oblivious to it. Being aloof had become reflexive to him.
Winner: Face. If you were going to dress up as the Rock for Halloween, you're finding an iconically disgusting button down.
