Biografia
Always adding to his busy schedule, Dwayne Johnson shows no sign of slowing down. He starred in the summer blockbuster "San Andreas," and in the critically acclaimed "Ballers" for HBO, directed by Peter Berg, where he plays an ex-football star turned money manager, navigating life on the other side of the field.
Adding to a slew of tent-pole films in 2016, Johnson appeared in the big screen adaptation of "Baywatch" as well as "Fast 8," and the action-based feature "Rampage." He is also tied to the remake of the cult classic "Big Trouble in Little China," and "The Janson Directive." Also in 2016, Johnson lent his voice to the new animated film "Moana."
Among Johnson's film credits are: "Furious 7," the installment of the enormously successful franchise, reprising his role as Agent Hobbs, alongside Vin Diesel; "Hercules," directed by Brett Ratner, where Johnson took on the title role; the dramatic thriller "Snitch," about a father who goes undercover for the DEA in order to free his imprisoned son; the comic book action adventure "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," as well as the second installment of the franchise, opposite Bruce Willis and Channing Tatum; the dramatic independent film "Empire State," with Liam Hemsworth and Emma Roberts; "Pain & Gain," alongside Mark Wahlberg; and major roles in the franchise films "Fast 5" and "Fast and Furious 6," which grossed a combined $1.4 billion globally. Johnson's previous films include "Race to Witch Mountain," "The Tooth Fairy," "Planet 51," "Get Smart," "The Game Plan," "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," which grossed over $325 million in 2011; "Be Cool," the sequel to "Get Shorty," alongside John Travolta, Uma Thurman and Vince Vaughn; the 2004 remake "Walking Tall" and "The Rundown," a critically acclaimed action comedy directed by Peter Berg and co-starring Sean William Scott, Rosario Dawson and Christopher Walken.
Johnson has garnered much critical acclaim and recognition for his range and diverse roles, including when Entertainment Weekly in 2009 named him to the top of Hollywood's next A-list, alongside Robert Downey, Jr., Ellen Page, James McAvoy and Amy Adams.
Johnson's love of acting and desire to branch out led him to appear on "Saturday Night Live" in March 2000, surprising many with his strength in comedy. Johnson was subsequently cast by Stephen Sommers in "The Mummy Returns," which grossed more than $400 million worldwide. His character was so well received by Universal executives during dailies that they immediately planned a film based on his character, "The Scorpion King," which broke box office records in 2002.
Born in San Francisco and raised in Hawaii, Johnson excelled as a high school All-American and subsequently a star defensive lineman for the University of Miami Hurricanes, helping lead his team to a National Championship. Upon graduating from the University of Miami, Johnson followed in the footsteps of his WWE Hall of Fame father, Rocky Johnson, and grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia, by joining the competitive sports entertainment world of the WWE.
Within a seven year period, 1996-2003, his intense passion led to an extraordinarily successful career breaking box office attendance records across the US and setting pay-per-view buy rate records during that period as well. Johnson's character creation of "The Rock" became one of the most charismatic and dynamic characters the industry has ever seen. In March 2012, Johnson made a record-breaking return to the WWE where he crushed John Cena at Wrestle Mania XXVIII in Miami.
Johnson has penned an autobiography, The Rock Says, which reached #1 on The New York Times Bestseller List shortly after its publication in January 2000. He also created The Rock Foundation in 2006, with a mission to educate, empower and motivate children worldwide through health and physical fitness.
A dedicated philanthropist, Johnson is the current National spokesperson for the Entertainment Industry Foundation's Diabetes Aware Campaign. He is also a committed Celebrity Cabinet Member for The American Red Cross and serves as a National Celebrity Wish Ambassador for The Make-A-Wish Foundation. In 2008, United States Congress and the United States Joint Leadership Commission recognized Johnson with the prestigious Horizon Award, the U.S. Congressional Award given to an individual in the private sector who has demonstrated outstanding leadership and provided opportunities for youth nationwide.
