VERY INTERESTING ALPHA: THE ROCK!

 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about

Things You Never Knew About Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson

When I was a kid, I was a huge wrestling fan and when I wasn’t trying to do The Rock’s signature eyebrow raise in the bathroom mirror, I was hitting my cousin with The People’s Elbow on the living room floor. I even got a high-five from The Rock — then billed as Rocky Maivia — at my first live WWE wrestling show when I was 9.

Since then, Johnson has become one of the biggest celebrities on the planet, starring in a string of big-budget Hollywood blockbusters dating back nearly a decade. You might think you’ve heard everything there is to know about him, but here are some facts you probably never knew about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

1. His Family Is Steeped In Pro Wrestling

You probably know Johnson made his name in the WWE as a pro wrestler in the 1990s and 2000s, but did you know he was literally born into the business? His grandfather, Peter Maivia, was a wrestling star, as was his father, Rocky Johnson. He’s also related to other notable WWE wrestlers, including The Wild Samoans, Yokozuna, Rikishi, Umaga and current WWE Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax. Below is Johnson’s father.

2. His Grandmother Was A Wrestling Pioneer

Not only were Johnson’s grandfather and father pro wrestling stars, his grandmother, Lia Maivia, was a pioneer in the business. She was one of the first female wrestling promoters ever, running Polynesian Pro Wrestling as a “strong-willed businesswoman,” according to Canada’s Slam! wrestling news.

3. He Moved A Lot As A Kid

Being the son of a pro wrestler can mean a lot of instability. Growing up, Johnson lived in a lot of places. He was born in California before his family moved to New Zealand, where he attended elementary school. They then moved to Connecticut, where he went to elementary and middle school. He then lived in Hawaii as a teenager, before moving to Nashville in high school. His family finally settled in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he finished high school.

4. He Was An Awkward Teenager

In 2016, after being named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive, Johnson told the magazine he had acne and a “curly half-Afro” as a teen. He said every day after school he would eat doughnuts and cookies, which apparently led to his breakouts. As he shared on Instagram, he was so big as a teen that his fellow high school students thought he was an undercover cop!

5. He Had An Embarrassing Nickname

Before he was called “The Rock,” his football teammates at the University of Miami called him “Dewey” Johnson. Even in interviews today, his teammates still refer to him as Dewey. They apparently first heard the nickname when Johnson’s parents came to visit and his mom called him by that name in front of everyone.
