Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Today, Dwayne Johnson is one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors, but his journey wasn’t easy. His family faced frequent evictions, leading him to turn to theft to help pay the bills. By age 17, he had been arrested eight times. These hardships fueled his transformation into “The Rock.”

As Dwayne put it, “It was about, ‘What can I control with these two hands?’ The only thing I could do was train and build my body,” setting the foundation for his successful career.
