Who doesn't know The Rock? He is a WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) legendary wrestler who is most popular with the nickname The People's Champion. His prowess in wrestling and acting made star in various famous feature films.

"If you smell what The Rock is cooking?!", the famous sentence which is always greeted with hysterical screams from the audience that hypes up every event. Who is The Rock or Dwayne Johnson? Here are the 15 facts about him! “Just bring it!”

1. He Coined The Term "Smackdown."

The Rock first used the term SmackDown in 1997 and 10 years later it became an official English phrase from Webster's dictionary. Webster's Dictionary defines it as “the act of bringing down an opponent; entertainment wrestling contests; decisive defeat; confrontation between competitors.

2. Was a Professional Football Athlete

The Rock played in the Canadian Football League (CFL) for approximately 2 seasons as a player for the Calgary Stampeders. He was kicked out of his team after the first season and he said "Damn, even the CFL doesn't want me?" Those were his last words as a Football player just before he decided to train around the clock as a professional wrestler.

3. A Philanthropist

The Rock is a truly generous person in the real world. In 2006, he founded the Dwayne Johnson Rock Foundation, a charity for children suffering from terminal illnesses. He has also previously partnered with the Make a Wish Foundation. He and his ex-wife, Dany Garcia, donated $1 million to the University of Miami for the renovation of the college's soccer facility. He joined in solidarity with the elders of the state of Hawaii in an act of solidarity. He also contributed to natural disaster relief for residents affected by the storm, and various other social service activities.

4. Wrestling is a Family Tradition

The older generation of wrestling fans will remember Rocky Johnson, Dwayne's father, and maybe even Peter Maivia, Dwayne's grandfather. The two wrestled for WWF (World Wrestling Federation), making The Rock the first third generation wrestling family in WWF history. Will there be a first fourth generation wrestler in the family? Read on for this article and the facts will be revealed later.

5. A Caring Father For His Daughter

By having a daughter from his first marriage and two from his second marriage, The Rock already has 3 very coveted daughters

He really cares for his daughter starting from small things, such as styling her daughter's hair. Also in big things, like guiding his first daughter named Simone as she steps into the world of WWE wrestling.

Simone began training at the WWE Performance Center in February 2020, making her the family's first fourth-generation wrestler in history. On May 16, 2021, Simone announced that she had signed with WWE.

6. He is a Canadian

Basically Dwayne Johnson was born in the United States of America, but did you know that his father was born in Canada? Apparently, Canada changed its citizenship laws in 2009 and basically The Rock can be considered a Canadian too.

7. His Schoolmate Thought He was an Undercover Cop

At the age of 15 he has grown his mustache and has a large body. So his high school friends saw young Dwayne Johnson as a grown man. "There's no way this guy didn't do basic military training at Quantico," his schoolmates might say

The Rock said that because of that assumption, he had no friends at his school because he was often mistaken for an undercover cop. We can all take a lesson from this: be friends with the giant loner at your high school, who knows he will become a famous person so you don't regret it later.

8. He was Often Detained By Security Guards as a Teenager

Dwayne Johnson grew up in Hawaii and things didn't always go smoothly. When his family is evicted from the small apartment they live in, he finds a way to make a quick buck. It turns out that the ways he does it are not always legal. For example, he once took part in a ring heist targeting tourists.

Later, The Rock would say that it was his most exciting experience. He realized the only way to control his life was to control his body: “The successful people I know – Stallone, Arnold, Bruce Willis they are the ones who control their body.”

9. Has a Degree in Criminology

Remember when Dwayne Johnson played for the Miami Hurricanes? As it turned out, at the same time, The Rock earned a Bachelor's degree in criminology and physiology. He turned out to be a strong-bodied person who has a fairly intelligent brain.

10. He Holds Two World Records

In 2015, The Rock broke the record for most selfies by taking 105 selfies in a span of 3 minutes. Everything was done with his fans on the red carpet at the premiere of the film San Andreas.

For another record, Rock earned the Guinness World Record for highest-paid actor in his first leading role when he signed on for The Mummy franchise's spin-off film The Scorpion King. He was paid $5.5 million and the film failed in the market.

11. He’s in Star Trek: Voyager

Dwayne Johnson also appeared in Star Trek: Voyager season 6 episode 15. In the style of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, he performs his own stunts.

12. His Manager is His Ex-Wife

After 10 years of marriage, The Rock and his wife, Dany Garcia, decided to divorce in 2007. Unlike divorced couples, Rock and Dany work well together professionally. They started a production company called 7 Bucks Productions.

Dany later remarried to a man named Dave Rienzi, who worked as a strength coach and Rock’s fitness instructor. How is it possible? The Rock is a man with a kind and pleasant heart, so many people consider him a member of their extended family too.

13. He Eats 7 Times a Day

The Rock eats 7 times a day which nutritionists call the perfect amount of food intake for the ideal body each day. The athletic man loves healthy cod. It is proven by looking at his muscle development, Dwayne Johnson's diet is very healthy and can make his body perfectly formed.

14. His Role in Fast and Furious was Supposed to be For Tommy Lee Jones

We can't imagine anyone else playing FBI Agent Luke Hobbs in Fast and the Furious. It became a fact that senior actor Tommy Lee Jones was the one who was originally planned to play him. It might seem strange if Agent K from Men in Black plays a big and muscular FBI agent who fits Dwayne Johnson perfectly.

15. It Took 60 Hours to Finish His Back, Chest and Sleeve Tattoo

In 2003, Dwayne Johnson traveled to Hawaii to have his family legacy inscribed on his body by a Tahitian tattoo artist named Po'oini Yrondi. Before starting, Johnson and Yrondi chatted for hours and prayed first. The tattoo itself took 60 hours, divided into three sessions lasting 20 hours. Its intricate design represents "all the things that matter to me, that I love and that I love," says The Rock.

Among the tattoo symbols are a palm leaf which symbolizes the head of a Samoan warrior, the sun for good luck, two ancestral eyes watching over him and a tortoise shell to ward off evil spirits. Also part of his tattoo design is a symbol showing three people in one, to show the bond between him, his wife and daughter at the time. He now has two more daughters.
