Dwayne The Rock Johnson is living it up, by the looks of things as he packed his things into a van and moved into the Surrey mansion previously rented by Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie, according to reports.

In ol Blighty to film the latest Fast And The Furious spin-off, Hobbs and Shaw, the actor wasnt keen on any old pile as he picked one of the grandest manors in the land.

He also brought his gym along with him, with a giant white tent seen on the property believed to be the Rocks Iron Paradise – a massive all-purpose gym for the action star to stay in tip top shape.

Taking to Instagram on Friday, the star posed on a faithful steed out the front of the manor, while also revealing the horse in question had starred in Gladiator and Robin Hood.

He wrote: Good Thanksgiving hang with Rusty at the crib here in London. This ol boys a genuine star as he was Russell Crowes horse in one of my favorite films, GLADIATOR as well as ROBIN HOOD…

Rustys clearly happy when Russell is on his back, because I heard that unmistakeable horse groan of “Holyyyy shit please dont get on me” when 65 265lbs of tattooed sunshine saddled up on him. Thankful to Rusty and his pal, Rosey for coming to the crib today for some Thanksgiving ridin w/ the ohana.

This is just one star-studded area, isnt it?

It was previously used for Brad and Angelina, according to Mail Online, as he filmed in the country way back when.

However, its also apparently been home to Elton John and Fergie, and reportedly features eight bedrooms, a garden gazebo, indoor swimming pool and a playground.

Dwayne is no doubt feeling grateful for his lot in life right now, and the house, as he took to social media to share a story about how far hed come – from being so piss broke to being one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood worth a reported $220 million (£172 million).

Word to the bird ? and a weird thing I have to always keep close. This Thanksgiving was a unique one, in that it was the first time Ive ever not been back home in the U.S. of A. But here in London, we still cooked and laid out a big, sweet spread to give our thanks and boundless gratitude for our loved ones. The weird thing – is every Thanksgiving I gotta take a moment to remember exactly 27 years ago on Thanksgiving while living in Tampa, Fl we were so piss broke, that we couldnt even afford to buy a turkey, so we were praying someone would invite us over for Thanksgiving. Well, the universe answered our prayers, because friends of ours called to say Happy Thanksgiving and we were like, “HAPPY THANKSGIVING WELL BE RIGHT OVER TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU GUYS K BYE!!” They were like, “Uhhh okaaaay great, see you soon?” A Very true and fucking embarrassing story ???‍♂️ Im weird this way, but remembering shit like this helps me live a better and more grateful life. Im quite sure I need therapy for this, but until then tequila will be my loving & empathetic therapist. #WordToTheBird #GratefulMan #AintPissBrokeNoMo #Cheers ??
