The People’s Champ will star in the opening film of the Opening Ceremony for the XXIV Olympic Winter Games in Beijing China this Friday 8 at pm on NBC and streaming on Peacock in the USA.
Dwayne Johnson proudly narrates the primetime presentation of “I Dare You” which tells the story of how young athletes dare to pursue the fastest, highest, most high-stakes events on snow and ice.
The Rock posted the story and photo on Twitter with the caption “It’s truly my honor as a patriot, tequila drinker and fanny pack lover to be asked once again to represent our incredible US Olympic Athletes in our Opening Ceremony for the Olympic Winter Games. My love and respect goes deep and these games are going to be special.
Johnson said in a statement “Our athletes representing Team USA at this year’s Winter Olympics are some of the most talented and determined men and women in the world. They have dedicated their lives to their sport, pushing through injuries and personal setbacks, training through the toughest of conditions, to rise up and join the elite who have the opportunity to represent their country in the most iconic competition in the world. It’s my honor to once again be asked to participate in the presentation of the Opening Ceremony. And on behalf of our country, I will proudly introduce our U.S. Olympians to the world as they take that first step of defining their legacy.”
The Rock introduced Team USA during NBC’s coverage of the Tokyo Olympics last Summer.
