Dwayne Johnson Balances Workouts and Publicity During Rio Visit

Overview

• Johnson visited Silva Gym in Humaitá on Wednesday for bodybuilding-style weight training and posed for photos with members and staff.
• He continued his routine the following day when photographers captured him leaving a gym in Leblon, showing he kept training while on the promotional trip.
• Silva Gym owners said security personnel inspected the sites beforehand and offered to close facilities for privacy, a measure that was not required but was available.
• Johnson posted a video thanking Brazil for the support of the live-action Moana and actress Catherine Laga'aia is also in Rio participating in local publicity events.
• The visits and fan-facing moments are part of a wider publicity push that keeps local media attention high in the run-up to the film's July 9 release and may boost box-office interest through social-media engagement.
