The Rock continues to get roasted for the lack of diversity in some of his past movie roles.
The same actor or same actress meme is a popular internet trend that highlights how people find out that one actor or actress has played dramatically different characters in their career. For example, Glenn Close was highlighted for her role as Cruella DeVil in 101 Dalmations as well as playing a male pirate in Steven Spielberg’s Hook. Gary Oldman was praised for his roles in just about everything he’s done, but the meme has been used to troll actors who don’t have as much range in certain projects.
One fan pointed out that Cailee Spaeny pulled off playing Rain Carradine in Alien: Romulus after she also successfully portrayed Priscilla Presley in Priscilla. Another responded with an image of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, who looked pretty much the same in four different movies.

The Rock meme has been used under other names in the past
The images are from four different movies The Rock has starred in: Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012), Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017), Rampage (2018), and Jumanji: The Next Level (2019).
The Rock has been teased about the images in the past, including when it’s been called the ‘These Are Four Separate Movies’ meme. He reacted to the meme during a press tour for The Smashing Machine, a role which truly saw him transform into UFC legend Mark Kerr.
Johnson is also set to play an eccentric old man with a pet chicken in Lizard Music, which will continue to show off his range. However, the meme will likely get a new addition when Johnson returns as Smolder Bravestone in his third Jumanji film, which he is currently filming.
