Dwayne Johnson is a famous wrestler and popular film actor. His path to success was not easy.
The childhood and youth of the actor
Johnson Dwayne, whose height and weight inspire respect among males and admiration among females, was born into a family of hereditary athletes. More precisely, it was a dynasty of wrestlers. Few can boast that your grandfather and grandmother were famous representatives of this spectacular kind of performance, combining the skills of martial and athletic arts and production scenes.
Johnson Dwayne (height and weight he inherited from his ancestor athletes) lived for some time in childhood in New Zealand. In high school, he moved to Hawaii, where he graduated from high school. It was then that he began to seriously engage in sports - he became a member of the school teams in American football and athletics.
A promising athlete with excellent physical characteristics, Johnson Dwayne, whose height and weight were already impressive at that time, interested many universities. The future actor chose to study in Miami. By the way, not everyone knows that Johnson has a bachelor's degree in criminology and psychology from the university. He graduated in 1995.
Football career: rise and fall
At school, he showed himself to be a good player and after graduation he signed a contract with one of the teams of the Canadian Football League. Then one of those tragic events that completely change a person’s life happened. Someone after this finally gives up, having lost faith in himself, and the other starts all over again. Only once playing as part of a new team, Johnson was forced to say goodbye to a promising career as a football player due to an injury.
In the footsteps of the family
After the incident, Dwayne Johnson, whose photo can be seen below, did not break. There was another way to continue your life in sports - to become a wrestler. Literally immediately after leaving football, he appears in WWF under the name "Rock".
Wrestling is a very interesting and entertaining phenomenon. He stands at the junction of sports and theatrical art. Most often they call him that - staged action, show. Here, as in a theater or a movie, each participant in a duel plays his chosen role. Someone acts in the image of a positive character, another is getting used to the role of "bad guy". Wrestlers are often so convincing in their images that the viewer begins to think that in life they are exactly the same.
Johnson Dwayne, whose height and weight was ideally suited for wrestling, was first a face (a good hero), but then he joined the healers (bad guys).
If we talk about the physical parameters of the actor, then he himself said in an interview that his height is 193 centimeters, and his weight is about 120 kilograms.
Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson: Beginning of an Acting Career
Before its true success, the wrestler starred in four films. Releasing an autobiographical book in 2000, he attracted the attention of Hollywood producers. The first serious proposal did not have to wait long, and already in 2001, Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson made his triumphant debut in the adventure film "The Mummy Returns." The success of the tape and the huge fee instantly make him known throughout the world. After that, there were many great roles in popular films: “The Scorpion King”, “Walking Wide”, Doom, “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island”, “Blood and Sweat: Anabolics”, “Fast and the Furious 6”.
In his last work, the film Hercules, Dwayne Johnson (photo from the movie can be seen below) convincingly played the greatest hero of the ancient world.
For the next two years, he was announced immediately in seven new films. This suggests that the career of the Rock in Hollywood is only gaining momentum. A talented actor, a great friend (Johnson has been friends with Arnold Schwarzenegger for many years) and just a very good and open person, Dwayne Johnson is an example of what you can never give up, as fate always gives a chance to become a winner. It is only necessary to be able to use it.
