Little People, Big Dreams: Dwayne Johnson

Born into a family of Samoan and Black wrestlers, little Dwayne travelled with his parents and watched his family fight in the ring. Although, he much preferred the football field to wrestling! He trained hard and worked to become a football player, signing with the Calgary Stampeders as a linebacker. But he was cut from the team after just two months. A natural athlete, Dwayne decided to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather and decided to pursue professional wrestling. Taking on the persona of ‘The Rock’ as a wrestler in the WWE, he won 16 championships and millions of fans. After a huge wrestling career, he tried his hand at acting… and today is one of the biggest film stars that Hollywood has ever seen!
