Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has moved into an eye-popping London palace that comes with a cinema, two swimming pools, nine bedrooms — and a celebrity horse.
The 46-year-old gave fans a glimpse of the enormous family home while sitting astride Rusty, the long-faced star of both Gladiator and Robin Hood, The Sun
reports.
Dwayne is in the UK shooting the Fast And The Furious spin-off Hobbs and Shaw and opted to rent the same house in Richmond, South West London, that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stayed in back in 2012.

There is plenty of room for the Iron Paradise, the state-of-the-art gym Dwayne hauls around with him wherever he goes.
Containing 1800kgs of equipment, a full kitchen and not a single mirror, the pop-up gym has a roomy home in the three acres of riverside gardens that come with the pad.
If that’s not enough, there is another gym inside the house, plus both indoor and outdoor pools if the man-mountain fancies a swim.

There are no fewer than five “reception rooms” — that’s estate agent speak for lounges — plus a tennis court and fully-contained staff quarters.
Dwayne will have plenty of famous neighbours in Richmond, though we can’t guarantee he’ll have heard of all of them.
Movie star Tom Hardy, wildlife legend David Attenborough, actor Richard E. Grant and singer Rick Astley all live in the London suburb.
This week, The Rock celebrated the American tradition of Thanksgiving, which involves eating turkey while showing gratitude for the year’s harvest.
“Rusty’s clearly happy when Russell is on his back, because I heard that unmistakeable horse groan of ‘Holyyyy s*** please don’t get on me’ when 6’5 265lbs (120kgs) of tattooed sunshine saddled up on him.”
Dwayne is worth a massive $300 million, having gone from competing in wrestling tournaments to anchoring Hollywood blockbusters.

In July, it was revealed dad-of-three Dwayne had became the highest paid actor ever, having made an unbelievable $166 million last year.
So yes, he can probably well afford the rent.
