Dwayne Douglas Johnson, famously known as "The Rock," is an American actor, producer, businessman, and former professional wrestler. Born on May 2, 1972, in Hayward, California, Johnson has become one of the most recognizable and influential figures in the entertainment industry. Early Life and Family: Dwayne Johnson was born into a family with a rich wrestling heritage. His grandfather, Peter Maivia, and his father, Rocky Johnson, were both professional wrestlers. Growing up, Johnson lived in various places, including New Zealand, Hawaii, and Pennsylvania. He attended multiple high schools due to his family's frequent relocations and eventually settled in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he began to excel in sports, particularly football. College and Football Career: Johnson received a full scholarship to play football at the University of Miami. He was a promising defensive tackle and was part of the University of Miami's national championship team in 1991. However, injuries plagued his college football career, and after graduating with a Bachelor of General Studies in criminology and physiology in 1995, he decided to pursue a career in professional wrestling. Professional Wrestling Career: Dwayne Johnson made his WWE (then known as WWF) debut in 1996 as Rocky Maivia, a combination of his father's and grandfather's ring names. He initially portrayed a heroic character, but the audience reaction was lukewarm. In 1997, Johnson turned heel and rebranded himself as "The Rock," a charismatic and trash-talking villain. This transformation marked a turning point in his career, and he quickly became one of the most popular wrestlers in the industry. Throughout his wrestling career, The Rock engaged in numerous high-profile feuds with the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, and John Cena. He won the WWE Championship eight times and the WWF/E Intercontinental Championship twice. Johnson's catchphrases, such as "If you smell what The Rock is cooking!" and "Do you smell it?", along with his signature moves like "The People's Elbow" and "The Rock Bottom," became iconic among fans. Acting Career: While still active in wrestling, Dwayne Johnson began to explore opportunities in acting. His first leading role was in the 2002 movie "The Scorpion King," which set a record for the highest-grossing opening weekend for a film headlined by a first-time lead actor. He continued to appear in films such as "The Rundown" (2003), "Walking Tall" (2004), and "Be Cool" (2005) while balancing his wrestling commitments. In 2011, Johnson's acting career reached new heights with his role as Luke Hobbs in the "Fast & Furious" franchise, beginning with "Fast Five." The character's popularity led to a spin-off movie, "Hobbs & Shaw" (2019), co-starring Jason Statham. Johnson's other notable film credits include "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" (2013), "Pain & Gain" (2013), "Hercules" (2014), "San Andreas" (2015), "Central Intelligence" (2016), "Moana" (2016) (voice role), "Baywatch" (2017), "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" (2017), and its sequel, "Jumanji: The Next Level" (2019). Business Ventures and Philanthropy: Dwayne Johnson has also found success as a businessman. He co-founded the entertainment production company Seven Bucks Productions, which has produced several of his films and television shows, including the HBO series "Ballers" (2015-2019), in which he also starred.
