Long before Arlyn joined the cast of Young Rock, she worked with Dwayne and Dany on the set of HBO’s popular sports dramedy, Ballers. However, Arlyn revealed that she had actually met them for the first time years earlier in their hometown of Miami.

The Rock just so happened to walk into the same gym as Arlyn and her brother, who was a huge fan. “[Dwayne] was huge in wrestling, hadn't even crossed over to entertainment,” Arlyn told Distractify.

“And [my brother was] like, ‘Oh my god. You have to get his autograph,’” she recalled. “I was like look, I’m not going to go ask this man for his autograph! That’s embarrassing!”

However, in the end, she conceded. “So I went up to him and asked for his autograph. He was actually with Dany at the time,” she said of the “full-circle” moment. Fast forward 20 years later, Arlyn was selected by the businesswoman to reenact her life story.

“What is meant for you will always pull towards you… what doesn't pull towards you was never meant for you. So I feel like this was meant for me, and her, to play her,” Arlyn added.
