There is not a single soul on planet Earth, that wouldn’t know who Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is.
The young kid who used to go to see his father Rocky Johnson perform at the WWF developed an interest in American Football.
In 1995, he signed with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League, as a linebacker. Just two months into the season he was cut off from the roster. Since, things didn’t go as planned, he decided to make a foray into the WWF, his father’s sport.
Just when he was at a crossroads, he switched to the WWF, aiming to carve a name for himself, as his father had done. He made his debut under the ring-name Rocky Maivia, and then there was no looking back.
After an insanely successful pro-wrestling career, he went to become one of the biggest movie stars ever. He is also one of the richest celebrities of all time.
Today he has a massive social media following, and has become a household name. He has a staggering 238 million people following him on Instagram, making him the second most followed celebrity on the Gram.
Johnson’s first WWF appearance came at the Survivor Series in November 1996. Just 3 months later he won the WWF Intercontinental Championship.
Johnson then made his WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania 13, against Sultan; he successfully defended his Intercontinental Championship.
After losing his Intercontinental Title to Bret Hart, he suffered an injury and then later came back as a heel.
Johnson won his first WWF title against Mankind in the year 1998. He had already switched his ring name to the Rock, then. And, within 2 years he had already won the WWF title 4 times.
In the year 2001 his very first Hollywood movie, The Mummy Returns became a massive hit, and he was already a star. He followed it up with the Scorpion King in 2002, which was a huge success as well.
Johnson slowly began shifting his attention towards Hollywood, and he left the WWE, in the year 2004 to pursue a full-time acting career. His last proper appearance then was, at WrestleMania 2004, where Rock aided Mick Foley in his dispute against the Evolution.
And, since then Johnson’s appearances in the WWE have been sporadic. His next appearance was three years later, in 2007, appearing in a taped promo, predicting a match between Bobby Lashley and Umaga at WrestleMania 23.
A year later he appeared again to induct his father and grandfather in the WWE Hall of Fame.
However, his proper post-2004 appearance came in the year 2011, when he was announced as the host of WrestleMania 27. He then began a feud with John Cena, playing spoilsport in his match against the Miz at WrestleMania 27.
The Rock then stayed in the promotion for quite a while until a serious pelvic injury at WrestleMania 29 ruled him out for an extended period of time. His last appearance in the WWE came in October 2019, where he cut a promo with Becky Lynch, attacking, an interrupting King Corbin.
Dwayne Johnson has a gob-smacking net worth of around $400 million, thanks to his incredibly long professional wrestling and acting career.
‘The People’s Champion’ was destined to become successful once his movies The Mummy Returns (2001) and the Scorpion King (2002) became massive hits. Johnson also became an integral part of the Fast & Furious series.
Despite being a heel during the late 90s in the WWF, he was a massive fan favourite. His charismatic personality was loved by millions, and at the turn of the year 2000 he had already won four WWF Championships, which showed the promotion’s trust in his abilities.
According to Forbes, Johnson earned a whopping $87 million in the year 2020, which is largely due to his movie career and an ultra-successful endorsement with Under Armour.
Some of his notable massive ‘movie and series’ purses are Ballers, where he earned an unbelievable $700,000 per episode; Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw, he was paid around $20 million.
Johnson was born in California to Ata Johnson and Rocky Johnson. His father was a legendary wrestler, who spent almost 25 years of his life wrestling. Rocky Johnson spent a solid three years in the WWE, earning significant success. His mother is a Samoan and his father Black Nova Scotian.
In the year 2008 Johnson inducted both his father and grandfather into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Johnson married Dany Garcia in May 1997. Garcia is a businesswoman and a professional bodybuilder. The couple gave birth to a daughter, Simone Alexandra in the year 2001. However, their marriage lasted only 10 years, and they split in June 2007.
In 2019, Johnson married his long-time girlfriend Lauren Hashian. Hashian is a singer, producer and a television artist. He has two daughters with her, Jasmine Johnson and Tiana Gia Johnson.
Johnson is good friends with stand-up comedian and fellow Hollywood star Kevin Hart. The pair have featured in a lot of movies, notably Central Intelligence and the Jumanji film series. Their friendship actually began while shooting for their movie Central Intelligence.
Johnson earned a whopping $90 million during the pandemic alone. A large part of this is attributed to his biggest endorsement deal – Under Armour. He signed a deal with the sports brand, way back in 2015, which saw him earn $4 million a year then. UA also features the Rock edition headphones.
His endorsement deal with Ford sees him earn around $15 million a year. He teamed up with Apple in the year 2017. Johnson charges his advertisers up to $1 million per post on Instagram.
He also has endorsement deals with popular brands Apple and Ford. Last year, Johnson and his partners bought the XFL (Professional American Football League) for $15 million. The man is an excellent businessman.
He also has his own distillery brand Teremana Tequila, which has become a massive hit.
Johnson showed a lot of interest in American Football as a kid. And, since his father was a professional wrestler, he often goes along with his father to see him perform.
And, by the age of 15, he was a fully grown man. The reason? – he was blessed with some of the finest Samoan genetics. He shared a 15-year old photo of himself on Instagram in 2019. The photo received a staggering 6 million likes.
He also revealed a hilarious story about his 15-year old self, when he was forced to move to Nashville from Hawaii.
Johnson claimed that everyone in the high school he went to in Nashville, was convinced that he was an undercover cop due to his abnormally well-developed physique at such a young age.
