Dwayne Johnson: News
Words fall short when describing Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. A talented athlete, one of the greatest professional wrestlers to ever step in a ring, one of the highest-grossing actors of all time, etc. Dwayne Johnson ascended to stardom with an unmatched work ethic and a thirst for success. Born on May 2, 1972, in California, Johnson attended schools in New Zealand, North Carolina, Connecticut, Hawaii, Tennessee, and finally Pennsylvania. He was part of his high school football, track and field, and wrestling teams. He aspired to become a football player but went undrafted in the NFL draft. After graduating from the University of Miami, he joined the Canadian Football League. However, he failed to make the starting team. This led Johnson to professional wrestling. He signed a contract with WWF in 1996. During his time at the WWF, he was one of the biggest and most marketable stars in the business. Johnson made his debut as an actor in the TV show 'That '70s Show' in 1999. He made his feature film debut in 2001 in the film 'The Mummy Returns.' He has been part of the 'Fast & Furious' franchise since its 2011 installment 'Fast Five.' In 2012, he began his production company Seven Bucks Productions. He has been in several high-grossing films such as 'Furious 7,' 'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,' etc. He has won the Teen Choice Awards three times (2001, 2017, and 2018) and the People's Choice Awards twice (2016 and 2017).
