20 Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Facts You Should Know
A phenomenal character, Dwayne Johnson has carved for himself a successful brand in wrestling and entertainment. The young boy who struggled to find purpose in his teenage years is now an inspirational figure many youngsters look up to. Known for his signature enormous muscles and creativity in movies, it is a known fact that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a versatile entertainer who is gifted in acting, singing and showmanship.
Since 1999 when he debuted in acting, The Rock has seen incredible success which few in Hollywood and WWE can contend with. Though Johnson is a popular figure globally, there are certain facts about the retired pro wrestler that few fans know. In this article, we present the 20 interesting Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson facts.
Table of Contents
1. The Rock is a third-generation wrestler
The Rock is indeed one of the most successful wrestlers and probably the most popular wrestler from his family, but few are aware of the fact that Johnson’s father and grandfather were wrestlers. His father known as Rocky Johnson was one of the wrestlers who were the first black wrestlers to claim the WWE tag team championship. In 2008, he inducted his grandfather, Peter Maivia and his father into the WWE Hall of Fame.
2. Dwayne Johnson was constantly on the move
From his childhood to his teenage years, Johnson was always on the move along with his parents as a result of his father’s wrestling lifestyle. Before he became an adult, Johnson had lived in 38 of the 50 states in the US. Aside from that, he also lived in New Zealand with his mother’s family. Due to this, he had to change school on several occasions.
3. Dayne Johnson made the word ‘Smackdown’ enter the Merriam-Webster dictionary
A natural wrestler with a knack for incredible showmanship, Johnson had several catchphrases which WWE fans loved. One of such catchphrases ‘lay the smackdown’ became a hit among fans. The word ‘smackdown’ thus travelled so far and garnered enough popularity that in 2007, the edition of that year’s Merriam-Webster collegiate dictionary contained the word.
4. He once saved his mother’s life
Johnson is known to portray characters in movies where he saves people from terrifying situations where death is almost a certainty, but in reality, Dwayne Johnson is a perfect representation of his movie character. When he was 15 years old, his family were going through a rough time, and losing their home compounded their problems. His mother, Ata Johnson who was overwhelmed with anxiety, stopped their car on a highway in Nashville and attempted to walk into oncoming traffic. Dwayne Johnson swiftly held her, preventing her from committing suicide.
5. He sometimes does not stay on his diet
For a man as physically fit and agile as Johnson, a healthy diet is one of the secrets behind his amazing figure. But sometimes, Johnson admits that he goes off his diet to enjoy some foods, which his health consultant definitely will not condone. Johnson admits when he goes off his diet, he eats peanut butter, double dough pizza and diet coke.
6. Johnson’s first onscreen role was acting as his dad
In 1999, when young Johnson decided to venture into acting, the first role he played was portraying his father in an episode titled ‘The Wrestling Show’ of the That 70’s show. Since then, he has gone on to act several blockbuster movies.
7. He encountered trouble with the law as a teenager
Johnson had a really tough teenage life which saw him on the move constantly, saving his mother from suicide and struggling to find his path and purpose in life. An embattled Johnson would get into fight often and he sometimes will knock out his opponent, which will bring the police knocking. Aside from that, he got arrested for stealing and for fraud. For a 17 years old boy, Johnson had quite a bit of struggle with the Law.
8. Dwayne Johnson wanted to join the CIA or FBI
How Ironic. For a young boy like Johnson who had trouble with the law on numerous occasions, Johnson wanted to work for the FBI or the CIA. His desire to work for one of the two top law enforcement agencies, made him study criminology and psychology at the University of Miami. But when a professor told him a law degree is likely required, he decided that a career in the CIA or FBI wasn’t for him.
9. He was an unusual teenager
Aside from the troubles he got in as a teenager which includes the numerous fights, Johnson was an unusual teenager with an intimidating figure which he sometimes used in the wrong way. His school mates thought he was an undercover cop as a result of his hugely built figure. A funny thing for a 16 years old boy.
10. He once threatened one of his teachers
Upon returning from a two-week suspension in school, Johnson decided not to use the student bathroom and made use of the teacher’s bathroom. One of his teacher caught him in the act, scolded him and ordered him to leave. But Johnson threatened the teacher who on seeing his hugely built figure, was intimidated. Johnson, however, apologized to the teacher the next day. The teacher was the one who encouraged Johnson to play football in high school.
11. Johnson Feuded with Fast and Furious star, Vin Diesel
Throughout his career, Johnson has been involved in feuds with several WWE stars such as John Cena, but his feud with fellow Fast and Furious star, Vin Diesel is one of the most popular. The two top stars refused to act in the same scene in the eighth sequel of the Fast and Furious series, entitled the Fate of the Furious. The feud which gathered media attention has since been put to rest.
12. He was once scared of spiders
For a man as big and strong as Johnson, you may feel he is a fearless warrior with no fears. But Johnson was once scared of spiders, mostly, tarantula. In the Ellen DeGeneres Show which he appeared in, in 2007, he faced his fear. Following that, he revealed he has gotten over his fear of spiders. He also revealed that roller coasters make him nervous.
13. Dwayne Johnson is Canadian
Though he was born in the United States, Johnson is a Canadian citizen. In honour of his father’s heritage, he fulfilled the requirement to become a Canadian citizen in 2009.
14. Johnson recently got married for the second time
In 1997, Johnson got married to Dany Garcia, who is the mother of his first child. Their union produced only one child and in June 2001, the couple agreed to part ways. He then began dating Lauren Hashian, who gave birth to two children for him. In August 2019, the lovebirds tied the nuptial knot in Hawaii.
15. He loves country music
Johnson absolutely loves country music. He admits that his love for country music dates back to his teenage years in Nashville. His college football teammate says Johnson often sings country music on the team bus. Jamey Johnson, Merle Haggard, George Strait as well as Johnny Paycheck are some of his favourite country music stars.
16. A boy once saved his brother’s life as a result of Johnson’s exploits in the San Andreas Movie
In 2017, a 10-year-old Detriot boy, Jacob O’Connor, saved his two years old brother’s life after he saw him face down in the swimming pool. He swiftly pulled his brother from the pool and gave him compression, which he learnt from Johnson’s character in the movie, San Andreas.
17. Roman Reigns is The Rock’s cousin
WWE wrestler, Roman Reigns who is one of the most successful and most popular wrestlers in the WWE is Dwayne Johnson’s cousin. The pair who are both second cousins acted as brothers in the Fast and Furious spin-off, Hobbs and Shaw, released in 2019.
18. Dwayne Johnson has a lucrative fashion deal with Under Armour
Johnson has one of the most financially successful deals with Under Armour which produces clothes and shoes in partnership with Johnson. The project which is called Project Rock is one of the fans favourites. In May 2018, upon the release of the Project Rock 1 sneakers, it sold out in just a day.
19. He once held the World Guinness Record for the most selfies
During the premiere of his San Andreas movie in 2015, Johnson took 105 selfies in 3 minutes. That was the most selfies taken in a short while, which was a world record. That record has since been broken.
20. Johnson’s stunt double is his cousin
Concluding our interesting Dwayne Johnson facts is The Rock’s helping hand when it comes to extreme stunts. For 15 years, Johnson has had a stunt double who bears a striking resemblance with him. Tanoai Reed, Johnson’s stuntman is also his distant cousin — they are both related to each other through their great-grandfather ancestry.

Though the film has been getting mixed reviews , estimates are predicting the film will have an opening north of $40 million .
Sinc e 2002's "The Scorpion King," The Rock has become a box-office king proving he could win over audiences as a single dad in "Tooth Fairy" or as a heavy-hitting action star in "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," and the "Fast and Furious" saga. His movies combined have made over $5.2 billion worldwide .
But before he was rocking the box office, he was just a wrestler, best known for his signature move "The People's Elbow."
Frank Pallotta and Mallory Schlossberg contributed to an earlier version of this story.
Before he was "The Rock," Dwayne Johnson was born May 2, 1972, in Hayward, California.

Wrestling is in Johnson's blood. His father, Rocky "Soul Man" Johnson, was a member of the first African-American tag-team champions and his grandfather, Peter Maivia, was one of the first Samoan wrestlers.

Johnson didn't go straight to wrestling. His first sport was football. After starring in high school he played in college for the Miami Hurricanes. Over his tenure at the school, Johnson started just once but appeared in 39 games and had 77 tackles, and he was a part of the 1991 national championship team.

The University of Miami was also where he met first wife, Dany Garcia. The two separated after 10 years but have stayed close. "Since our divorce, we've become pretty good at working together, and we are also raising our beautiful 11-year-old daughter, Simone," Johnson has said.

If it wasn't for serious injuries to both his shoulders and back, Johnson could have perhaps continued his football career in the NFL.

Instead he ended up playing in the Canadian Football League, making just $250 a week and eventually getting cut. "The dreams I had, they're dashed," he recalled later. "There is no more football. My relationship was crushed. That was my absolute worst time."
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
After Johnson stepped away from football, he looked into the family business of wrestling. After spending time in the WWE's minor leagues, he debuted on TV at the 1996 Survivor Series. His wrestling name was "Rocky Maivia," which combined the names of his father and grandfather.
The first third-generation wrestler in WWE history, Johnson is considered by many to be one of the greatest to ever enter the ring.

During his many years at the WWE, Johnson created and became known for signature moves like "The People's Elbow" and "The Rock Bottom."
Johnson proved his prowess in the ring by winning the WWE heavyweight title six times and securing the tag-team title five times.
His popularity as a wrestler put Johnson on Hollywood's radar. This included getting a call from New York about hosting "Saturday Night Live." After he was asked to host, Johnson says, "I fell out of my chair."
Source: YouTube , YouTube
The wrestler's stint on "SNL" (as seen below playing the monkey-human hybrid Papa Peepers) was a ratings success. Most importantly, the gig showed Hollywood that Johnson wasn't just another wrestler — he could really act.
Johnson made his feature film debut in 2001's "The Mummy Returns," playing a villainous ruler. He reprised the role in "The Scorpion King." He made $5.5 million, the most any actor has made for a first leading role.

Despite the large paycheck, it wasn't until "The Rundown" in 2003 people began to see Johnson as a legitimate action hero. "The Rock has a flair for action and comedy," Rolling Stone wrote. "He's a real movie star."
Source: Rolling Stone
The film also included a brief cameo by Arnold Schwarzenegger, which many critics like Roger Ebert saw as the passing of the action-movie torch. "Whether The Rock will rival Schwarzenegger's long run as an action hero is hard to say," Ebert wrote. "But on the basis of 'The Rundown,' he has a good chance."
Source: Roger Ebert.com
As Johnson's film career began to take off, he dropped "The Rock" from his name. "'The Rock' was a name, a character I created in TV," he said. "When I made the transition into film, I knew eventually I was going to be billed as my given name."
Source: Los Angeles Times
He showed his range by acting in family films like 2007's "The Game Plan" and comedies like "The Other Guys" in 2010. "I felt there were bigger and better opportunities," Johnson said. "I also felt there was franchise potential, hopefully multiple franchises in every genre — whether drama or comedy or action-comedy."
Johnson finally found his franchise when he appeared in the fifth installment of the popular "Fast and the Furious" series, "Fast Five," alongside Vin Diesel. "I’ve known Vin for a long time and we’ve always talked about doing something together," Johnson said. "This felt like the right opportunity to create a formidable adversary for him."
Source: Screenrant
"Fast Five" was also an opportunity for Johnson to work again with Universal, the studio where he started his career. "They were the first studio to believe in me when I was making the transition ... into acting and helping me create opportunities," Johnson said.

The film went on to make $676 million worldwide. Johnson appeared in 2013's sequel "Fast & Furious 6," and he is set to reprised his role again in this spring's "Furious 7,” which is now one of four films to make over $1.5 billion.
Source: Box Office Mojo
Since then Johnson has appeared in two more sequels, "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" and "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island."
Throughout Johnson's career, the one thing separating him from many is his work ethic. The actor put on "12 to 15 pounds of muscle" for 2013's "Pain and Gain." Between himself and costar Mark Wahlberg, the actors were eating 17 meals a day.
Source: Yahoo
In a recent interview with "Muscle and Fitness" magazine, Johnson explained his current diet consists of seven meals a day — four of which consist of cod.
Source: Muscle and Fitness
Even though Johnson's acting career is going strong, he has returned to the ring for events like Wrestlemania. "I'm back, not for money, not because I like being on the road, but because I love the business," he said.
Source: Huffington Post
One of these events was WWE's Royal Rumble. Johnson had teased that he was going to appear at the event, and then he showed up in the middle of a wrestling match to help Roman Reigns win the prize.
Sources: The Independent , Twitter , WWE
Johnson's next big film out this weekend is earthquake movie, "San Andreas," in which he plays a first responder. The film has been referred to as "the West Coast version of 'The Day After Tomorrow.'"

In addition, Johnson will take his talents to TV with coming HBO series "Ballers," which will follow current and retired football players. Johnson will definitely empathize with these characters, given his initial football career.
