In a Q&A session on Twitter, former WWE Champion Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson claimed that director Michael Bay offered him the lead role in his upcoming "Transformers" reboot, but he had to turn it down because of his commitments to "Hercules".
Michael Bay offered me Transformers, but I was unavailable due to Hercules. Then Wahlberg was offered the role. #RockTalk @nadydi

The "Transformers" lead role instead went to The Rock's "Pain & Gain" co-star Mark Wahlberg.
