1. After bloody gym injury, The Rock says his blood tastes like tequila and hot sauce

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is not playing tiddlywinks or reciting nursery rhymes. Or falling behind on his gains during the pandemic. The actor took to Instagram to share a video of a gym mishap that resulted in a bloody gash near his eye. "Threw around my 50lb chains for a drop set. I got lumped up and need stitches," he wrote. But before getting stitched up, Johnson tasted his blood and, of course, finished his workout. He revealed his blood tastes like "Teremana, calluses, and BlaMoan (Black and Samoan) hot sauce," just as one would suspect. After the gory clip, Johnson left followers with words of wisdom: "Keep it light and a lil' fun, but get after it like a MF."
