Hey
WWE legend and highest-grossing Hollywood actor
Johnson became a global icon as 'The Rock,' a 10-time WWE world champion and charismatic trash talker during the Attitude Era, before transitioning to become one of Hollywood's highest-grossing actors.
Dwayne Johnson was born on May 2, 1972, He holds dual citizenship in the United States and Canada.

He is a Taurus by zodiac sign and remains active in WWE on a part-time basis while starring in major Hollywood franchises.
Johnson grew up moving frequently across the United States and even lived briefly in New Zealand due to his father Rocky Johnson's wrestling career, which included becoming WWE's first Black tag team champion in 1983. His maternal grandfather, Peter Maivia, was also a professional wrestler, making Johnson a third-generation wrestler. He attended the University of Miami on a football scholarship and was part of the 1991 national championship team, but went undrafted in the 1995 NFL draft and was cut from the Calgary Stampeders in the Canadian Football League. With his father's help, he secured a WWE contract in 1996 and debuted as 'Rocky Maivia' before transforming into 'The Rock.'
Johnson married Lauren Hashian in 2019, and they have two daughters together, Jasmine and Tiana. He was previously married to Dany Garcia from 1997 to 2008, and they have a daughter named Simone, who has followed in his footsteps to become a WWE wrestler. Despite their divorce, Johnson and Garcia remain close business partners, co-founding Seven Bucks Productions together. Johnson takes pride in his Samoan heritage and maintains strong ties to his Polynesian roots, often speaking publicly about the importance of family and cultural traditions.
Stands approximately 6'5" (196 cm) tall and maintains an intense weight training regimen that has made him one of the most physically imposing actors in Hollywood.

Success isn't always about greatness. It's about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.
My thought process started to change. That's when I started thinking about goals and what I wanted to accomplish.
Blood, sweat, and respect. First two you give, last one you earn.
