How Dwayne Johnson Went From WWE Superstar to Hollywood Heavyweight

Dwayne Johnson first made a splash on WWE in 1996 with his People's Eyebrow and signature Rock Bottom move, but now he's best known for his blockbuster roles in movies like Jumanji, Disney's Moana, and Hobbs and Shaw. A lot has changed over the years for the wrestler turned actor, who is now father to three beautiful daughters. For starters, The Rock was named the world's highest-paid male actor in 2016 by Forbes, and he also launched his own production company called Seven Bucks Productions. But despite all the changes, one thing has remained the same: Dwayne's million-dollar smile. Today, we're going back to his roots to see just how far he's come.
