Did ‘The Rock’ Buy a Tyrannosaurus Rex Skeleton for $31.8 Million?

Did Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson pay $31 million for a historic Tyrannosaurus rex skull? The mystery was sparked when the actor and former wrestler was being interviewed by Eli Manning, who noticed something interesting behind him. “I got a T. rex skull. That's Stan,” Johnson said. Instantly, dinosaur mavens began to wonder if The Rock’s beast is actually a 67-million-year-old T. rex that was sold at auction in 2020. It, too, was named Stan, after the paleontologist who discovered it in South Dakota.
