Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson And His Dad
Big Rock and Little Rock both look pretty snazzy in this old photo.
You can clearly see where Dwayne Johnson got his muscles from. “The Rock” grew up in a family of professional wrestlers. Not only was his dad, Rocky Johnson, a professional wrestler, but so was his grandfather, “High Chief” Peter Maivia. His uncles, Afa and Sika Anoaʻi, were known as “The Wild Samoans.”
In fact, Johnson’s grandmother, Lia Maivia, was one of the few female promoters in wrestling in Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling. So it was no surprise that Dwayne started as a wrestler before embarking on a movie acting career.
