Something’s fishy in the diet!

WANNA be like your favourite wrestler/actor Dwayne, the Rock Johnson? Then you have to get ready to change your diet and eat a massive amount of cod — 821 pounds worth a year, in fact!

For your clarification, one fully grown cod weighs 100 pounds — they’re huge! A hundred pounds is about the size of a two-month-old baby horse, or a baby hippo.

And he eats 8 1/4 of those a year.

He eats 2.3 pounds of cod a day, and 12 eggs. He also manages to fit in two potatoes, vegetables and rice. This amounts to 10 pounds of food a day, over seven meals. That’s 5,165 calories, with 1,000 of that being cod. He eats nearly twice as much as the average man his age.

But the good thing is that Dwayne exercises far more than the average man, so eating that amount of calories is fine.

Fully animated Smurfs to hit cinemas in 2017

THE untitled project is set to have much more in common with the beloved ’80s cartoon than the current half live-action, half computer-animated Smurfs franchise.

“With a fully animated feature close in tone and design to Peyo’s original creation, we’re embracing everything that has made the Smurfs so special for audiences worldwide,” Rory Bruer, Sony Pictures president of worldwide distribution, said in a statement.

Kelly Asbury (Shrek 2) is set to direct, with Jordan Kerner (The Smurfs) producing and Mary Ellen Bauder (Hotel Transylvania) co-producing. The film’s final title and voice cast will be announced in the next few months.
