What is a prosthetic forehead and does The Rock has a prosthesis forehead?
As medical science developed over the years, there were many procedures people could do to change their appearance. One of them is a prosthetic forehead, in which an artificial device is used to alter the appearance of the face or head.

While this was a popular procedural in the theater world, CGI and VGX made it easier for filmmakers to edit things. But talking about Hollywood’s use of this procedure, people thought Dwayne Johnson might be one of the few who’s done this in real life. Especially considering his drastic change in look since his WWE days.
But while it may be a product of his aging, some seriously believed he had a prosthetic forehead. This rumor was started by his best friend, Kevin Hart. On an Instagram Live, where Hart was drinking his tea, Johnson appeared in the comments. To tease his friend, he commented on the live chat, “I P*** IN THIS TEA YOU DRINK!”
This made Hart laugh and he warned Johnson to leave the chat, but he didn’t, so Hart came back with a sarcastic comment. He said, “Dwayne’s forehead isn’t real, it’s a prosthesis. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has a prosthetic forehead.“And that’s when the rumor started and people started talking about his forehead.
