Why Dwayne Johnson ripped his gate off its hinges with bare hands

So he showed those biceps aren't just for show and tore it from its frame.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has proved he's the real deal after showing off his true brute strength. The actor and entrepreneur, 48, wasn't messing around as he ripped a gate from his hinges with his own two hands so he wouldn't be late to work. Taking to Instagram Dwayne explained that storms in his area had caused power outages, meaning he couldn't get his electric front gate open. So he showed those biceps aren't just for show and tore it from its frame. He shared a look at the gate, laid to the side after the famously ripped star had done his thing.

"Not my finest hour," he admitted, "but a man's gotta go to work. We experienced a power outage due to severe storms, causing my front gate not to open. I tried to override the hydraulic system to open the gates, which usually works when power goes out - but this time it wouldn't. Made some calls to see how fast I can get the gate tech on-site, but I didn't have 45 minutes to wait."
