Rising to fame as a wrestler, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson continues to climb the ladder of success.

He is now one of Hollywood’s most beloved figures (and one of the highest-paid ones too).

The Rock’s life hasn’t always been as easy and glamorous as it might look now. Money always
seemed to be an issue for the Johnsons. Dwayne’s father was a professional wrestler, but that didn’t
bring enough money, so the problems escalated to the point where the family was evicted. The
Rock’s mother tried to commit suicide. On top of that, his professional football aspirations ended
after only two months.

Driven by the dream of never having to face financial issues again, The Rock started working on the
other sport he already knew – wrestling. He trained hard, overcame depression struggles, and faced
the fact the crowd booed him during every match. He continued until his name became famous in
the wrestling world and the crowd fell in love with him.

After achieving everything he wanted in wrestling, The Rock started a career in the film industry as
an action and comedy star. Last year, he finally received his own star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame. Now, he might plan to run for President… This guy is just unstoppable!
