Serously, is there anything Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson can’t do? He stars in Hollywood blockbusters as well as HBO comedies at the same time. He kills it on late-night TV and launches clothing lines with ease. It’s legitimately possible he’ll be running for President of the United States of America in 2020. And now, he’s done launched himself into space.
Well, sort of: The Rock is the star of Apple’s newest commercial, a mini-movie titled Dominate The Day, in which he sets off to accomplish everything on his “life goals” list with the help of his good friend Siri.
If you’d rather not squint, the Rock’s life goals list includes:
- Restore a masterpiece
- Conquer the fashion world
- Cook like a boss
- Master an instrument
- Reach enlightenment
- Take the world’s greatest selfie
- Beat the video game version of yourself
- Go quintuple platinum
(Side note: It’s remarkably exciting to know that despite our myriad differences, at least I know I can probably play a musical instrument better than the Rock.)
Throughout the three-and-a-half-minute commercial, we get to witness the Rock doing his damnedest to cross every single thing off his life goals list, including that space-selfie, before literally crashing back down to earth and back onto a Starship Troopers-esque movie set. But the true gem comes early in the clip, when we see Dwayne getting really into his bonsai tree, Mr. Belding-style:
Now, a few of those life goals didn’t get accomplished in Dominate The Day, so there’s hope for a sequel. But Dwayne, my dude, if you think you’re gonna sell five million copies of the Rock Concert, you got another thing coming.
