BIOGRAPHY
Descending from a line of professional wrestlers (his father and grandfather both fought in the rings of the World Wrestling Federation ), Dwayne Johnson was destined for a sporting career from an early age. Noted at high school then at university for his qualities as a defender in American football, he joined the ranks of the Calgary Stampeders in the 1995 Canadian championship. But, suffering an injury, he finally turned towards the discipline that would make his glory: wrestling. Dwayne Johnson made his WWF ring

debut in November 1996 as Rocky Maivia and became the youngest Intercontinental Champion at age 24 . After an absence following an injury, he returned under the name The Rock. Triple world champion, intercontinental champion and tag team champion, he dominates the discipline and becomes an inevitable character on the small screen, multiplying, in addition to his appearances in the ring , advertisements and small roles in television series. In 2001, The Rock made his big screen debut in The Mummy Returns .

The year 2017 is that of all records for the actor since he is showing, in addition to the eighth part of the adventures of Dominic Toretto and his gang, Baywatch and especially Jumanji , which makes 964 million dollars of recipes in the world. He continued with the action blockbusters Skyscraper , Rampage – Out of Control and Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw , where he reprized his role as the honest Agent Hobbs.
