10 THINGS YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT
GARGANTUAN grappler turned actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is returning to his roots by fighting in this month’s WrestleMania 40. More than 20 years ago, the muscleman, 51, threw his hat into the Hollywood ring — and he came out a winner, with his films grossing over $10.5 billion worldwide.
His many hits include Disney’s Moana and the Jumanji and Fast & Furious franchises. Film fans loved to smell what The Rock was cooking — until the stinkers Jungle Cruise and Black Adam! Here are ten things you don’t know about the WWE legend. 1He
earned an athletic scholarship to play football at the University of Miami, where he was a teammate of future NFLers Warren Sapp and Ray Lewis. 2The
former juvenile delinquent — who was arrested nine times by age 17 — graduated with a degree in criminology.
3Dwayne
wanted to work for the CIA but gave up the dream after realizing he couldn’t get into law school with his “steaming sh*t grades.”
4He eats six to seven meals a day, which add up to more than 5,000 calories. 5During his days in the United States Wrestling Association, his ring name was Flex Kavana.
6The
Polynesian tattoo covering his back, chest and left arm took 60 hours to complete.
7He had liposuction in 2005 to reduce the size of his giant pecs.
8Johnson
has a minister’s license from the state of California and has officiated marriage ceremonies. 9He’s frightened of spiders and admits, “I’m not quite sure where this came from.”
10Dwayne
once held the Guinness World Record for most selfies taken in three minutes after snapping pics with 105 fans at the London premiere of San Andreas in 2015. But Donnie Wahlberg stole the crown the very next year by shooting 122 with admirers during the eighth annual New
Kids on the Block cruise.
