WWE wrestler and actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson recently met Chinese basketball player Sun Mingming and took a picture with him.
On Oct. 24, The Rock took to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to post their photo, which showed how he was dwarfed by Sun, who weighs 370 pounds and stands 7'9'' and is three inches taller than former NBA player Yao Ming, according to Bleacher Report.
"I'm 6'5" 255 lbs--just let this visual sink in my friends. A pleasure meeting Sun Ming Ming in CHINA. One of the tallest basketball players of all time. Super cool dude," the wrestler-actor wrote.
Sun wears a size 20 shoe, which is 6 sizes smaller than the one worn by The Rock.
Unlike Yao, Sun was not able to play for the NBA, although in 2005, he was officially declared an eligible choice for the league's draft. Due to his lack of strength and fitness, however, he was not selected and failed to play professionally in an American league, Inquisitr said.
While he did not become an actor like The Rock, Sun was featured in the 2007 film "Rush Hour 3" starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.
On the other hand, before becoming a professional wrestler, The Rock had a football career playing for the University of Miami. Due to his back injury, he was unable to make it to the NFL.
Recently, The Rock starred in the film "Hercules," which is directed by Brett Ratner, the same director who helmed "Rush Hour 3."
"Hercules" was released in Hong Kong on July 24 and in mainland China on Sept. 19.
