Ballers has proved a ratings hit for HBO, with its first season becoming the network’s most-watched half-hour program in six years.

It averaged a weekly multi-platform audience of 8.8 million viewers, ranking behind Sex and the City (10.3 million) and the first season of Hung in 2009 (9.3 million).

Meanwhile, The Rock recently opened up about his motivations in transitioning from wrestling to acting.

He had no acting experience and no idea how Hollywood worked, so decided to forge his own path.

The Rock previously said: ‘I couldn’t say, ‘Oh, let me just follow the half-black and half-Samoan actor who was also a wrestler. Let me follow his path.’ That wasn’t an option, that wasn’t there. So I was forced to create my own.’

He told AP: ‘I love being able to create big movies or TV shows that entertain people, that make them happy. I know what it’s like to earn a dollar.

‘I know what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck and wonder how you’re going to pay the rent. I know what it’s like to be evicted.

‘Money doesn’t fall out of the sky. So if you’re going to pay for your ticket, that inspires me to want to make a great movie.’
