Dwayne Johnson‘s screen heroics have made him one of the most bankable Hollywood stars in history. From the first time he raised a taunting eyebrow from the squared circle of the WWE, he’s captivated a growing global audience of fans who can’t get enough of his physicality, wit, and outsize charisma.
Johnson fills so many roles—producer, actor, wrestler, best-selling author, and philanthropist, to name a few—you have to wonder if there’s more than one of him. But despite his enormous success in the entertainment realm, he never strays far from his athletic roots. He’s no green-screen concoction when it comes to strength and athleticism. He looks the part because he works at it.
