Who else can go from wrestling grown men in pretty much nothing, to singing his heart out in a Disney movie? Dwayne – The Rock – Johnson has to be the most diverse person in the entertainment industry. He's made it to the lists of "Most Powerful Celebrities," "100 Most Influential People in the World," and has even been named “Man of the Century,” which is probably the most accurate title he's earned.
The man was just born for the big screen. Just so you know, for his first starring role they paid him 5.5 million to play Mathayus in
“The Scorpion King.” That's a world record for an actor to be
paid for their first, starring role, and he is worth every penny.
We all know he's a man of many talents. Between wrestling, acting,
hell, even singing, he's someone who you'd trust with your savings
account, a trust fall and your phone's pass code. He's also someone
who you'd expect to be a master on the grill. Basically, he's the
total package. Did I mention that he's funny? Well, he's pretty damn
funny! All things considered, he's also a dream crusher. Sorry
ladies and gentlemen, he's married with two kids.
Despite it all, we just kind of assume that he's amazing without even needing a reason why. Here are 10 reminders of how great the man, the myth, the legend is.
1. Lit Guest Appearances
I bet you didn't realize that he was on "Star Trek." This was one of his earliest roles and not surprisingly, he nailed it. It's like WWE: Alien Addition.
2. That Fanny Pack Tho
You never really need to know the context of this photo. It's just iconic. It's been the inspiration to many Halloween costumes, and you could probably sneak it in to your family photo display and no one would notice for a few months.
3. Lip Sync Skills Are Fire
Okay, we're all guilty of lip syncing this one in the safety of our cars and homes, but we never can nail it like this. Just look at the commitment in this performance.
4. SNL Skits
He's been on so many, but this one is especially great for so many reasons. Plus, he's already done everything else, why not run for president?
5. Did you know that...
His middle name is Douglass and he studied criminology and physiology at the University of Miami? The more you know.
6. "Bay Watch"
Let's me honest: we all wish he was actually our life guard. Surely him and Zac are more than competent enough to save you from drowning.
7. The Physique
Alright. It's time to address the elephant in the room. His physique is incredible and perfect motivation to work out.
8. “The Game Plan” is legendary
It will always trigger every emotion I have ever had.
9. Lights, Camera, Action!
You know that whenever he's in an action film, it's about to get real.
10. “You're Welcome”
Sure this one totally flows with the movie and everything, but we all know that The Rock is sending us subliminal messages. How could he not know he's a gift to the world?
