Man, you tried! Maybe he's only still known in the Midwest. Great guy, and I'm sure he could roll out of bed and break 60.
Well, he's 49 years old and listed at 260 pounds. I would not bet any money on that if I were you.

He's almost 50.

He couldn't even run 100m in 15s.... The OP either has no idea who Dwayne Johnson is or he's completely unfamiliar with track and field...

im not sure about this. he was close to 300 lbs for all of his 20s.
Yea, after rethinking I won’t argue that a 300lb guy could run as fast I initially said.
Also for anyone who is still missing the point of some peoples’ posts there is this guy, Andrew Rock, who is 39 and could likely break 60 tomorrow if he had too:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_RockHis biggest obstacles are age and having not done anything like that in probably a very long while. Sprinting for 400m takes quite a bit of getting used to, for even a young athlete, much less a man about to turn 50 early next year. Then we start talking bulk, which makes it pretty much impossible. However, if he loses the bulk and does the work, he would run sub 60
He ran 49.8 when he was at Miami

What? C’mon guys. Not this again. Sub 50? Ok. But we’re talking about sub 60.
Here’s a story for you. Last summer, my buddy (late 40’s, not in shape, doesn’t run, former baseball player in HS) wanted to see if he could run sub 60. He worked out 3 x week by himself during our kids track practices for two months and then had our neighbor (high school kid, coach of said kids) that’s a 48- low runner pace him. Result? 59 flat.
Just like Bolt or Phelps can’t break 5 in the mile…

Have you ever seen a sprinter? They don’t like Mo and Galen.
Our neighbor runs 48 and he is 6’2, 230. The Rock is 6’5.
very few 270lbs guys can do a sub 60 s 400.
the ones who can are almost all one or both of: (a) in their teens or twenties; and (b) playing some kind of sport on a good amateur level or better.
if the 4.6 40 yards is accurate then he could imo almost certainly have run sub 60 400 then, but that was c 30 years and i should think at least 30lbs ago. it's not happening now.
Funny you should ask. I've seen him try to sprint, or at least run fast, in a few of his recent movies, and he can't run for sh*t. Break 60 seconds? Are you kidding? I don't think he could break 100 seconds. And I like Dwayne J!
DO YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING?
The Rock is running under 60 seconds in the 400 before breakfast.

i didn't say he's never had the ability. but he's almost certainly never worked on it. I'm not saying it's true or false, but for a guy who was damn near 300 lbs in college, there is a real possibility he has never been in sub 60 shape a day in his life.
and a late 40s guy breaking 60 on two months training is a ridiculously good athlete, or is in better shape than you are letting on
I think Dwayne would need some training to break 60 but it is certainly possible even at his size. We had a big man on our track team in high school who was close to pushing 250 and was a standout discuss thrower and competitive in the shot put. He could also run fast as hell for his size and actually was on our 4x100 team that was a botched hand-off away from finishing in the top 4 at the all state meet. He never ran the 400 straight up but occasionally run in the 2nd or 3rd leg of our 4x400 if one of our regulars was injured and he pulled off a couple of 58/59s which I realize aren't shorter legs but as others have pointed out being tall and muscular isn't a liability in shorter events as it would be in long distance.
So in short, I don't think the rock could pull off a sub 60 cold but give him 3 months to train and lose a bit of weight and I think he can do it with a second to spare.
Only if dropped out of a plane.
Currently? Hell, no. Probably couldn’t break 65
What pro rassler was a national JC 100m champ?
No...But he can inject 20 cc of Testosterone in less than 60 seconds.

As a high school footballer he had many offers from schools other than Miami so he had talent.
A 4.6 40 is fast for a guy his size, so what is your definition of...great athlete? Are tiny little distance runners weighing 120 pounds great athletes?
There are a lot of guys with 4.6+ speed. You pretty much repeated my original post. I said Johnson would have started for most D-2 schools and many non-Power 5 schools. You posted to agree with me but argue at the same time.
Back when he played for Miami in the early 90's, they were the best program in the country. He would definitely have been a started at other D1 programs. He wasn't good enough to turn pro but less than 2% of NCAA football players turn pro.

That's a no from me. Does he look like he trains for sprinting or running really at all? He has a ton of muscle mass that he would have to push that fast.
