Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Once Tried to Rip Miami Teammate's Tongue Out

Don't let that suit and smile fool you—there is a wild side to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

The 44-year-old Johnson has always participated in the more physical sports, from college football to wrestling. He's not someone you want to mess with.

In an interesting feature by Sports Illustrated's Alan Shipnuck, The Rock revealed that he once got into a pretty wild scuffle with then-Miami Hurricanes teammate (and friend) Kevin Patrick:

"

Me and Kevin were in a coach's office, and he was talking s---, as always, but this time I just lost it. It was like a movie fight—the desk got turned over, stuff was flying all over the place. We spilled out onto the weight room floor, still going at it. He wouldn't stop talking, so I decided to pull his tongue out. I stuffed my big ol' hand into his mouth, and I had a couple of fingers around his tongue, but it was so damn slippery! I was quite serious about pulling it out, but I couldn't quite get a hold of it. Eventually I gave up, the fight ended, and two minutes later we were hugging each other. It was so dumb.

"

Patrick must be thankful that tongues are slippery.
