The Rock
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson may be the world’s highest-paid movie star, but he hasn’t forgotten his origins. In this edition, he talks about his childhood heroes, the pro wrestlers who inspired him, including his own father, his grandfather (a one-time Bond villain), and even his even his pioneering grandmother.
“Professional wrestling is a business that I grew up in, that I’ve loved all of my life and [where I] learned some of my most valuable – while very unorthodox – lessons… These men were, in essence, my superheroes. They didn’t wear capes when I was a little boy.”
