Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Johnson is known as an American actor, producer, and former pro-wrestler. He is most famous for his run in the WWE’s hottest era and for breaking out as an actor in 'The Fast and the Furious'.

Background and Age

Dwayne "The Rock" Douglas Johnson was born on May 2, 1972, in Hayward, California. The grandson of pro wrestler Peter "High Chief" Fanene Maivia and child of wrestler Rocky Johnson, the youthful Johnson grew up watching his father perform in the ring. Without any dreams to emulate his example, Johnson played college football at the University of Miami, dominating with his size and physicality until being impeded by injuries.

With few hopes in pro football, Johnson went to wrestling, appearing in the WWF against the Brooklyn Brawler in Texas. After a couple more matches, including a win with Bart Sawyer, the WWF signed him under the name Flex Kavana. After a year, he joined The Nation of Domination, eventually assuming control over its leadership and labeling himself The Rock.

Wife and Kids

Johnson has a little girl, Simone Alexandra, from his first marriage. He and his high school sweetheart, Dany Garcia, married in 1997 and split up 10 years after. They still have a great friendship as they work together in a production company.

Johnson has since entered a long term romance with musician Lauren Hashian, with whom he had little girl Jasmine Lia in December 2015. In April 2018, the couple gave birth to their second little girl, Tiana Gia.

Career as a Wrestler and Actor

As "The Rock," he broadly fought with top wrestler Steve Austin and won the WWF/WWE Heavyweight title on various occasions. Johnson at that point parlayed his wrestling popularity into a movie career, appearing in films like 2001's The Mummy Returns and 2010's Tooth Fairy.

The great vibes for The Rock proceeded into 2018, with Jumanji piling on the ticket sales on the way to turning into the actor's highest-earning film to date. He additionally figured out how to emerge during the rush of advertising that is associated with the Super Bowl, appearing a trailer for the motion picture, Skyscraper, in which he partakes in outrageous tricks with a prosthetic leg.

In July 2019, fans were excited as the trailer for the new Jumanji movie starring The Rock was released. The first one was such a smash hit that the producers quickly made plans to create a sequel in hopes of having repeat success with The Rock once again leading an ensemble cast.
