— Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is ready to be back in action.

The former pro wrestler says he's looking forward to returning to more physical roles after filming four family comedies. That includes his latest, "Tooth Fairy," in which he wears tights and a pink tutu.

Johnson says this year he'll film "Faster," an action flick directed by George Tillman and co-starring Billy Bob Thornton and Maggie Grace.

Johnson spoke Monday while in Mexico City to promote "Tooth Fairy."

He said it was unsettling to meet co-star and renowned British actress Julie Andrews for the first time while wearing his tooth fairy getup.

Says Johnson: "She is a woman that you want to meet in a suit."
