Is The Rock living in Charlottesville?

Posted by Thor on November 29th, 2007 85 Comments

 We’ve had multiple people say they’ve seen The Rock around town.

Gold’s Gym, various stores, Target were mentioned as the places.

The Rock, aka Dwayne Johnson, is a wrestler with a movie career. Some movies that come to mind are: Scorpion King, The Mummy and Doom.

Well, cVillains.. is he living here?

    Wow. That’s a new one to add to the local celeb list. Interesting.

    I thought i smelled what the rock was cooking…

  6. 29 Nov 2007 at 1:19 pm6Dave said:

    No way. For real?
    People also like to SWEAR that Tom Cruise lives around here, despite no actual confirmation on the matter.

  7. 29 Nov 2007 at 1:28 pm7TheUpstart said:

    Yes. I never though it newsworthy enough to write about on here.

    I doubt Cruise would live here.

    He’s no Nitro.

    the rumors about Cruise started in the 90’s - he and Nicole Kidman were seen in town and were, apparently, shopping for an estate.

  10. 29 Nov 2007 at 1:55 pm10Stormy said:

    Apparently the Rock heard that Trader Joe’s was coming to town. Anybody else heard this? How is CVillain not all over this story???

  11. 29 Nov 2007 at 2:04 pm11cb said:

    also heard that in the late 70’s john and yoko where looking for a house here…

    Cruise is buiding a Xenu proof bunker compound in Shifflett Hollow.

    Stormy, we did talk about TJs…

    Thor, thanks. How did I miss this????? Guess I’ll go back to my small bubble.

    If memory serves, either the C-Ville or Hook did a piece on the Rock moving to town a couple weeks back.

    It was last Thursday’s Hook 4 Better or 4 Worse.

    Now that we’re all pretty sure he is, does anyone know WHY?

  19. 29 Nov 2007 at 3:03 pm19BuckinghamChickie said:

    It is sad that this is what brings me out of lurkdom, but I like The Rock and think it is great that he is in the area. I’d love to meet him sometime.

  20. 29 Nov 2007 at 3:32 pm20belmont yo said:

    Marijean: He has come to protect us from Tom Cruise (who while much more diminutive in stature, has the advantage of being batshit insane). Yoko Ono told me Sissy Spacek said that.

  21. 29 Nov 2007 at 3:33 pm21mintyfresh said:

    I would love to see Howie Long put a “Celebrity Deathmatch”-style beatdown on Tom Cruise.

  22. 29 Nov 2007 at 3:49 pm22Horatio said:

    In fact he only moved here after UVA put a beat down on his Canes a few weeks back. Rumor is he lost a bet…

  23. 29 Nov 2007 at 5:03 pm23Waldo Jaquith said:

    The Progress reported this in their coverage of the blessing of the hounds a week ago. Y’all gotta read the newspaper.

  24. 29 Nov 2007 at 5:38 pm24Horatio said:

    Not that I disagree with you Waldo, but some folks go out of town around Thanksgiving, and therefore stop delivery. Just saying…

  25. 29 Nov 2007 at 5:49 pm25Thor said:

    Wait, people actually read the daily progress? I think that should be our topic of discussion tomorrow.

    Y’all gotta read the newspaper

    I think we’ve just found the answer to the age old question - “Where’s Waldo?”.

    “Mired in the 20th century”

    Newspapers - how quaint! ;-)

  27. 29 Nov 2007 at 6:51 pm27belmont yo said:

    Wait, the Rock is blessing a hound army in Louisa to protect Tom Cruise from Howie Long at the behest of the Miami football team?

    You’re right. I should pick up a paper now and then.

  28. 29 Nov 2007 at 7:08 pm28lilith said:

    Wait, people actually read the daily progress?

    Just for the obits, marriages, and school notes, right?

    Speaking of, someone who lived a very full and wonderful life was honored last night, because there were Cadillacs parked on the right-side curb of the funeral home sidestreet last night! Godspeed!

    since we’re talkin’ celebrities here again, remember that little dude wallace shawn (princess bride) everyone was talkin’ about him a few weeks ago. He’s a lesbian, he’s in this coming season of the Lword

    P.S. That was a joke that people really read the Daily Progress, right?! Shew-wee, ya’ll were starting to scare me…..
    (shaking head) daily progress readers, haha….good one.

  31. 29 Nov 2007 at 7:50 pm31KCB said:

    Sad to say, you work in the public sector and you need to see how badly the DP mangles the facts about a particular issue so you can better damage-control the next day.

  32. 29 Nov 2007 at 9:57 pm32BusRider said:

    Waldo,

    I read the Daily Progress once. The print was set backwards and upside down. If a news organization is so obviously inept at catching rather serious errors, why would anyone be inclined to read it?

    I really don’t like to make anonymous character attacks, but Waldo, you sound more than a little pompous and bitter about the fact that this story, even if broken by other sources, has driven a decent amount of traffic on this site. I read the paper. In fact, I read about five different papers on any given day. The Daily Progress just doesn’t happen to be one of them, and I really don’t think I would ever refer to it as “the paper” (as in, “Y’all gotta read the newspaper”).

    I saw a report a few weeks back where Dwayne and his family were at a church that was blessing pets.

    Her works out at Gold’s. My daughter said she keeps not seeing him there and people keep coming up to her as she does her daily treadmill…did you just see The Rock? He walked right past you. Oblivious as her mom.

    #11…John and Yoko actually owned cows down here at one point from what I hear from one of the old-timers. She said there was some sort of scandal involved w/ all of that. The hell?

  35. 29 Nov 2007 at 11:00 pm35Taliesin said:

    That was he works out at Golds. I wasn’t commenting on The Rock’s sexual proclivities or doing my form of Ebonics.

  36. 29 Nov 2007 at 11:32 pm36Samantha said:

    And we care about this…………because?????????????

    How the fuck did this post get 35 comments? (sorry, Thor, not an indictment of your posting instincts, obviously, you were right).

    People, for realz, this dude owns a farm somewhere near here and we care ‘cuz……..??????????????

    I’m not being an elitist, I ran into Sissy one time downtown and practically stalked her (and don’t get me started on her daughter). I get the celebrity thing. But, jeebus H. christola, “The Rock”? Who the fuck cares? I’d rather run into Thor or Lillith and figure out who they are. This is just a dumb fuck celebrity.

    I wasn’t going to tell you guys, but I guess it’s time.

    I’m the Rock.

    samantha, don’t you get it darling? It’s the fucking ROCK dude, one Mr. Johnson. Heellloooo, the Scorpion King??? Just kidding, really who gives a shit about the rock? that’s why I was telling you lil man wallace shawn is a lesbian, much hotter news and worthy of lotsa comments.
    and the Lennon thing, he was spending time in Nelson County, he stayed at Rodes Farm Inn….

    Hmm, not sure how Waldo is being pompous by pointing out that this rumor was documented with photographic evidence in the DP, but take it how you wish.

  44. 30 Nov 2007 at 1:19 pm44BusRider said:

    Dave,
    The “Y’all gotta read the newspaper” comment is unmistakably condescending and a little smug. It assumes that Waldo, by virtue of following a 12th rate news publication, is better informed than the rest of us. He knows what’s going on. So what if someone else reported first? Does that make the issue any less worthy of a cVillain discussion?

    I think the number of comments here would suggest otherwise.

  45. 30 Nov 2007 at 1:22 pm45KMK said:

    The Rock is hot. ‘Nuff said.

    Thor…are you one in the same with the Thor that haunted the old Richmond Radio Graffiti board years ago?

    If I told you, I would have to kill you.

    Yeah the Rock does live in Charlottesville and he works out at Gold’s Gym. I saw him there and he works out next to me sometimes.

    So lets say you wanted to happen across Mr. Dwayne Johnson at the gym. At what time would your odds be the best?

    [Tickets will be $10 and are available through Fandango.]
    I am just struggling with my behavior modification… I still have cold sweats thinking about the wine tasting pair who thought Burgundy was a rich red color with blue undertones…. to have let that one go without comment just traumatized me. Badly. Really badly.

    Flooz… its just a rare condition called keyboard tourette’s. Is a slight chemical imbalance in the prefrontal cortex. It can be treated with certain pharmacological combinations, but the side effects often outweigh the benefits. So I say these three things:

    1) Rock on with your big fat lubed up dildo of a sense of humor

    2) Thor? How dare you discriminate against the (slightly and enjoyably) handicapped. Shall I read to you the Special Needs Act of 2001?

    3) Penis.
