Chris Janson Enlists Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson For New Video
Chris Janson has released the music video for his anthemic single featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The actor and famed professional wrestler enjoyed some time down in the backwoods of Texas with the country singer, and it proves “Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get.”

The Rock and Janson both shared a behind-the-scenes video on Instagram of them sitting in the back of a truck together drinking, singing, and having some redneck fun. They also perform a cover of Hank William Jr.’s “Blues Man,” which you can watch here.
Together they reflected on how their friendship started, the love they share for the Grand Ole Opry, and their “big country music dreams.”
“Brotherhood and fellowship. Man I had the BEST TIME shooting this music video in Texas with my brother @thechrisjanson for his new song, ‘Watcha See Is Whatcha Get,’ Johnson posted on Facebook.
He continued, “I’ve [known] Chris for a few years now, and not only did we immediately bond over our love for country music, but more importantly, Chris is a good, kind-hearted man who works his butt off to take care of his family and take care of his fans! Chris is a true reflection of one of my favorite all-time quotes — It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.”
Janson released “Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get” in March and the song garnered him his biggest career add day on country radio to date. He co-wrote the upbeat country tune alongside Tyler Hubbard, RaeLynn, Blake Hubbard, and Jarrod Ingram.
Janson currently has tour dates scheduled through the fall, with appearances at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville on April 23, May 9, and June 29. He will also join Brett Michaels out on the road this summer for his ‘Parti Gras 2024 Tour.’
The 5 Best Action Stars
They don’t make action stars like they used to. The action film genre today isn’t as solid as it was when legendary action stars like Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Sean Connery ruled the silver screen.

Action stars are a rare breed, and throughout the decades, there have been a list of leading men and women dominating the action movie world. In the ’80s, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris, and Harrison Ford made legendary action films.
By the ’90s, Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves, Bruce Willis, and Jackie Chan took over as the fresh faces of the genre. The early 2000s saw Daniel Craig, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Vin Diesel, Will Smith, and Matt Damon usher in the new wave of action stars.
Sometimes, action stars butt heads in the competitive world of acting. Long before they appeared in The Expendables franchise together, Stallone and Schwarzenegger were bitter rivals in the ’90s. As we previously reported, Stallone said they “couldn’t stand to be in the same galaxy together for a while. We truly, truly loathed each other.” In fact, Stallone said that their feud was so intense that they would fight over film projects, which led Schwarzenegger to trick the Rocky star into starring in a horrible movie: 1992’s Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.
Not many female actors take up the action genre, but those who do are legendary. Sigourney Weaver, Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Michelle Yeoh, Charlize Theron, Milla Jovovich, Pam Grier, Michelle Rodriguez, Lucy Liu, and Uma Thurman are among those leading ladies who will be kicking a– and taking names. Some of our all-time favorite action movies have a female lead, like the Kill Bill saga, Mad Max: Fury Road, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
A sign of a great action hero is the longevity of their characters. Whether it’s in a standalone film or an entire series, some of the most iconic characters throughout the years are James Bond, the Terminator, John Wick, Jason Bourne, Rambo, Indiana Jones, and A Man With No Name.
