Biography:
 
Dwayne Douglas Johnson was born in Hayward, California on 2 May 1972 to Rocky Johnson and Ata Johnson. As a teenager, Dwayne traveled around a lot with his parents and watched his father perform in the ring. During his high school years, Dwayne began playing football and he soon received a full scholarship from the University of Miami where he had tremendous success as a football player.

In 1995, Dwayne suffered a back injury which cost him a place in the NFL. He then signed a 3 year deal with the Canadian League but left after a year to pursue a career in wrestling. He made his wrestling debut in the USWA where he won the tag team championship with Bret Sawyer. In 1996, Dwayne joined the WWE and became Rocky Maivia where he joined a group known as "The Nation of Domination" and turned heel. Rocky eventually took over leadership of the "Nation" and began taking the persona of The Rock. After the "Nation" split, The Rock joined another elite group of wrestlers known as the "Corporation" and began a memorable feud with Steve Austin. Soon the Rock was kicked out of the "Corporation". He turned face and became known as "The Peoples Champion".

In 2000, the Rock took time off from WWE to star in The Mummy Returns (2001). In 2002, he made a return in The Scorpion King, a prequel to The Mummy Returns. He is currently married to Dany Johnson (Garcia) and they have a daughter named Simone Alexandra, born in 2001.
