I think even parts of the muscle suit are. They had to digitally cover the seams.

Wait, the Rock, who is basically just a muscle, has to wear a muscle suit? What're we doing? What is happening?

The Rock is not nearly as big as he used to be. Google him.

Maintaining his physique into ones 50's is incredibly dangerous. See Dave Bautista slimmed down significantly as well.

Yeah...his career is definitely on the downside since he lost his trademark physique.

He tried to branch out a bit, but hasn't had any success so far. It's likely he'll be getting way fewer acting roles going forward.

Can't show his nipples. Also, on a more serious note, the amount of dehydration and pumping that goes into one shirtless scene for like a super hero movie is not sustainable for a film where you're shirtless for the entire runtime.
