Emily Blunt flashes abs in daring look alongside husband John Krasinski at The Smashing Machine premiere

At the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, held on Monday, Emily Blunt showcased an exceptionally bold appearance at the premiere of The Smashing Machine.

I, utterly smitten and captivated, proudly displayed my chiseled midsection in a seductive black blouse adorned with a see-through lace section and an alluring keyhole opening, as I took center stage at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, to showcase my latest cinematic masterpiece.

The nominated individual for an Oscar was likewise accompanied by their spouse John Krasinski (aged 45), and they both struck a pose together on the red carpet.

The Sicario star finalized her outfit with a pair of low-waisted striped black pants. 

Instead of wearing her shoulder-length brown hair in loose waves, she accentuated her naturally beautiful features with subtle makeup.

Emily further accessorized her sizzling look with a pair of silver earrings. 

Meanwhile John cut a dapper figure in a three-piece grey suit paired with a black tie. 

The Crushing Force, helmed by Benny Safdie and featuring Dwayne Johnson, portrays the life story of Mark Kerr – a trailblazing mixed martial artist in the UFC realm, depicted within a sports drama biography.

His life at this time encompassed battles with substance abuse, personal issues within his home, and his athletic career in wrestling, long before the sport gained significant cultural attention.

It also portrays his tumultuous relationship with his wife Dawn (played by Blunt).

53-year-old Dwayne graced the premiere event while going without a shirt beneath a sleek black suit, proudly displaying his newly toned physique.

John, once known as “The Rock” due to his prominent muscular physique, has significantly lost weight for his upcoming role in The Smashing Machine.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but marvel at Dwayne’s extraordinary transformation! Contrary to some speculations about his use of prosthetics and wigs to resemble the 56-year-old ex-college wrestler turned MMA champion, it’s his jaw-dropping weight loss that truly captivates me. Rumors have it that he’s shed an astonishing 60lbs for this role, leaving fans like me completely awestruck!

This has sparked much discussion among his followers about the possibility that he might be following the latest trend among celebrities, which involves using weight loss medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro.

He assumed the position out of a strong desire for something fresh and novel. Speaking with the Hollywood Reporter, he expressed, “I felt there was an inner call, a soft whisper, saying, ‘Perhaps I can accomplish more, I aspire to achieve more, and what might that entail?’

Over the course of my career, I’ve been incredibly blessed with the opportunities I’ve had and the movies I’ve created. However, there’s been this nagging feeling within me – a whisper really – that questions if I could achieve even more. I yearn to do more and ponder what that might entail.

Fans were astonished by the change they saw, sparking discussions on social media about his noticeable weight decrease and reduction in muscularity.

Kunal Makwana, the creator of KMAK Fitness who specializes in fitness training, shared that a disciplined approach involving restricted calorie intake and a rigorous exercise routine might be responsible for the observed weight loss.

Discussing Dwayne Johnson’s nutritional strategy with the Daily Mail, Kunal explained that losing about 60lbs for someone as muscular as Dwayne requires a very disciplined diet plan. The diet would have been rigorous and organized, aiming to create a calorie deficit while ensuring high protein consumption to preserve his muscle mass.

Typically, this involves consuming a good amount of protein-rich foods like chicken, fish, and eggs, along with vegetables, and carefully managed servings of complex carbohydrates such as rice or sweet potato. It’s less about instant solutions and more about being meticulous, ensuring that each meal is accurately measured, every calorie is counted, and there’s no room for processed foods, snacks, or takeouts in the plan.

On October 3, The Machine That Crushes, a film inspired by John Hyams’ 2002 HBO documentary of the same title, will be released. This documentary not only focused on The Smashing Machine but also delved into Kerr’s struggles with substance abuse, his 1999 hospitalization, and his subsequent rehabilitation, along with highlighting various aspects of his career.

In the capacity of being Mark’s spouse, Dawn, at that time, appears to grapple with his battles upon receiving painful injuries, prompting her to resort to using painkillers for relief.

In the most recent edition of PORTER Magazine, Emily discussed the challenging nature of portraying real-life characters in films and her commitment to accurately represent these individuals.

In her comments about the task, Emily expressed: “It’s clear that tearing open your chest cavity will be required for something as demanding as this… Another concern arises because these individuals are still alive, and you’re literally displaying the pulse of their existence on the screen.

‘You just want to do right by these people who have lived through a lot.’

The film was filmed in Vancouver, Los Angeles, New Mexico, and Tokyo. Not only does Dwayne Johnson act in it, but he is also the producer of The Smashing Machine.
