Start taking notes Christian Bale, this is how acting is done. With just a week to go until Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Hercules (not to be confused with Kellan Lutz's The Legend of Hercules) is released, he hit up Instagram to prove just how intense the movie's going to be.

Like, so intense you'll black out. Eight times.

That's what The Rock did when filming the movie's most epic moment (his words, not mine). Just behold the intensity with which this guy yells, "I AM HERCULES!!!"

Here's what Dwayne had to say about this transcendent moment in filmmaking history:

None

So to recap, pain and blacking out a dangerous amount of times are "fun" for The Rock. Everyone bow down now.
