Fat Suit or CGI


My friend and I are trying to settle an argument. He thinks fat Rock is CGI whereas I believe it's the Rock in a fat suit. Can someone clear this up?

The fat suit is The Rock when he went off steroids for a week.

Definitely face CGI onto another actor. Someone else is credited with the role of 17 year old Bob, and there's also a special effects credit to a face capture and mapping studio.

Sorry buddy, you lost the argument. It is CGI. Isn't it obvious?! I could tell it was CGI immediately...

By the way, the whole character is CGI, not just the face.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

No, the whole character wasn't CGI.

Alright, I'll give you that, but you're telling me the part where he slides across the gym floor was real? I'm sorry, but a real body would not have slid across the floor...

Fair point and no, I'm not trying to say that. I don't know exactly how they did it but I am sure the Dwayne stand in didn't slide across the floor like that.

Unless, let's see... Take 2,000 tubes of KY jelly...

Glad we could come to an agreement! :)

I think he would. A polished floor, and he was wet and soapy from the shower.

For me it's looks like Rock and Jonah Hill morphed in CGI

Well your friend's right, it looked a lot like CGI.
