Vince, Prince, Rock, 'Fro

So anyways,
I was watching the latest Vince Vaughn movie and it hit me. There's a good chance Prince got his 'fro idea from The Rock, Dwayne Johnson. In the movie "Be Cool", Vince Vaughn plays a pimp with The Rock as the muscle. The Rock sports an Afro in the movie. Perhaps Prince sees The Rock and sees himself.
Or not...

BobGeorge--

I think you're failing to consider the very marked resemblance between the two men physically--I mean, if Prince wanted to know how any look would work on a man of his own build and size... I can think of no better approximation than Dwayne Johnson. There's practically twins.

I'm going with the .... before the "or not." Clearly drawn from the Rock's example.

God forbid Johnson realizes that it could work just as well the other way and come out in some butt-out pants and a typhoon.

---- Are you serious with this post? Prince grew up in the 70s he had a fro before the Rock knew anything about it.

Obviously this whole thread is ridiculous--but if we want to play "where Dwayne Johnson might have seen a 'fro" look at his father, Rocky Johnson:

It's not huge, but it's comparable to what I saw in stills from Be Cool (a film I never actually saw, in spite of my liking Get Shorty).

I thought he was inspired because he is Africa American.

I agree with you.
Prince "had" an Afro.

If you can't sell hair products then you should worry about your own.
