Biography
Dwayne Douglas Johnson, known as "The Rock," is an American actor and professional wrestler signed to WWE on a part-time basis. Born May 2, 1972, he was a member of the University of Miami's 1991 national championship football team but went undrafted in the 1995 NFL draft. In 1996, his father helped him secure a WWF contract, and Johnson quickly rose to prominence as a charismatic trash talker.
During his full-time eight-year run in the WWF, Johnson became integral to the Attitude Era's success, winning 10 world championships—including the promotion's first of African descent—plus two Intercontinental Championships, five Tag Team Championships, the 2000 Royal Rumble, and six WrestleMania main events (15, 16, 17, 28, 29, and 40). He left WWE in 2004, returned part-time 2011–2013, retired in 2019, and returned once more in 2023.
His film career began with The Mummy Returns (2001) and The Scorpion King (2002), then expanded across action (Fast Five, San Andreas, Rampage, Hercules), family (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Jungle Cruise, Tooth Fairy), and dramatic roles (The Smashing Machine, 2025). His films have grossed over $11.4 billion worldwide, making him one of the world's highest-grossing actors. Johnson also produced and starred in the HBO series Ballers (2015–2019) and Young Rock (2021–2023), and voiced Maui in Moana (2016) and Moana 2 (2024). His autobiography, The Rock Says (2000), became a New York Times bestseller. Time named him one of the world's most influential people in 2016 and 2019. He is a co-owner of the United Football League and co-founder of Seven Bucks Productions. Born under the sign Taurus, Johnson embodies the life-path determination of an 8.
