Dwayne Douglas Johnson rose to stardom as a wrestler by the name The Rock but today, his name is synonymous with Hollywood leading men with a Herculean-like body build. Johnson at the very young age of five was already with his father in the wrestling ring and weight room. He grew up watching men wrestle and was a regular member of the gym his father attended. At first, he wanted to pursue a career as a football player but in 1995, he suffered a back injury that cost him his place at the NFL then he eventually settled for a career as a wrestler.

He had his own bout of tribulations in the movie business after his permanent transition in 2003 to life as an actor but as the pro that he is, he was able to weather the storm and get to the silver lining. When he was named the 2016 highest paid actor in Hollywood, it was no fluke as his career has been filled with one huge success after the other.
