Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Douglas Johnson also known by his ring name The Rock was born on the 2nd of May 1972. He is a Canadian-American actor, producer, and semi-retired professional wrestler, currently signed to WWE. Johnson's first leading film role was in The Scorpion King in 2002. For this role, he was paid US $5.5 million, a world record for an actor in his first starring role. He has since appeared in various films, and become known for his ability to reinvigorate film franchises. Perhaps his greatest success in his acting career can be sourced to his role as Luke Hobbs in The Fast and the Furious franchise. He hosted and produced The Hero, a reality competition series; and has since continued to produce TV series and films through his production company Seven Bucks Productions, each of which he also stars in. He is the world's highest-paid actor of 2016. In 2015, Muscle & Fitness named Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as their "Man of the Century."
