In honor of the testosterone overload about to explode on screen later this month, we’re squaring off Vin Diesel against his co-star Dwayne Johnson. With necks thicker than redwoods and biceps the size of wild boars, it’s hard not to believe these two literal giants of popcorn action flicks haven’t teamed up before. We’re talking one seriously taut and tight match-up.

Name, Alias, etc.: |
Dwayne “You’ll Still Always Be The Rock Just Get Over It Already” Johnson |
Vin Diesel, given name Mark Sinclair Vincent. Well played change, sir, well played.
|
| Height, Weight: | 6’4” and 275 lbs, he’s more a boulder than a rock. |
Tall and bulky. (Wikipedia Fail) |
| Career Kick-Off: | Bashing in heads, breaking chairs, and prancing around in tights as a World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment contender. |
According to film legend, convinced Steven Spielberg to cast him in “Saving Private Ryan” through a heart felt letter. Damn. |
| Earned his ‘Kindergarten Cop’ chops as…: | A bachelor footballer father in “The Game Plan” and minor-league hockey player in the “Tooth Fairy.” Hmm, we see a trend. Type-casting anyone? |
Shane Wolfe in ‘The Pacifier.’ 5 kids in one movie? Double damn. |
| Random Cool Factoid That Is Almost Too Good to Be True: | Royal blood actually runs through the ‘Scorpion King’ actor’s veins. His Samoan mother is a royal descendant and he was granted the noble title Seiuli by the King Malietoa Tanumafili II. TKO Wills, TKO. |
Proudly played Dungeons and Dragons for nearly 20 years. The avid fan even wrote the forward for the 30th anniversary commemorative book. The ripped nerd isn’t just an urban legend. Girl geeks rejoice! |
Wow, who knew there could be so much more to the Bald and the Brawny, like actual brains. Perhaps testosterone is not the mind-numbing hormone we all thought it was. I can feel my dating standards getting unattainably higher by the minute…
Which larger-than-life gentle giant sets the bar for you? Let us know in the comments below.

My vote’s for Dwayne Johnson. Too hot.
