The Rock

Thanks for the question and yes, I always dreamed of being an actor, but here’s all my other “dreams & goals” I had as I was going down the road of life. Cheers to always putting in the work with our own two hands and God bless those chips on our shoulders. And gynecology. Some goals are best when they’re never achieved 😂🤦🏽‍♂️ Have a productive week.

NEW @ProjectRock training collection drops NOW 🔥👟 YOU vs YOU. Once we understand and embrace the concept, it becomes very powerful — it creates space for us to block out all the bullshit noise and concentrate on the one thing that is truly your greatest influence— YOU. Shout to my guy #drewmcintyre for leading our new Project Rock campaign. I’m a big supporter of Drew and grateful for all the value he brings to the @WWE, in and out of the ring. F’n beast of a man 🤣💪🏾 Enjoy the gear! #ProjectRock  #YouAgainstYou  AVAILABLE NOW

Coming back to MAUI was very emotional for all of us 🥹🤎 Headlines always cycle out of the news very fast, and people going through hard times can feel forgotten about. One of my jobs is to make sure Lahaina/Maui is never forgotten - and to bring moments of joy, comfort and smiles as much as I can. The struggle and rebuild of Lahaina/Maui continues, BUT the resilience, strength & PRIDE of our people and culture remains steadfast and inspiring. This is who we are as Kanaka Maoli. Who we are as Polynesians. We protect. We love. We show up. People will always make noise, but in the end, we saw very few come back to make positive things happen. To those that did, we love you and mahalo. Love U back #Maui & #Lahaina - stay strong and I’ll see you soon. #cheehoo #808

Slightly intellectually intimidated, but keeping faith alive.

Replying to @marshmallowshotgun You MF’s are funny 😂👏🏾👏🏾 I may not have hair (by CHOICE!:) but YOU do. Now shut up and enjoy your shampoo + conditioner! 🤣🫧🚿 @Papatui #takebettercare


My heart always skips a beat whenever I get the call from my friends at @Make-A-Wish letting me know we have a “Rush Wish” that needs to happen right away. On March 11th, I had the privilege of making Kane’s wish come true - and despite not being able to speak when we met, I FELT this little boy’s SMILE, and felt this little boy’s MANA. His mana was beautiful. His mana was strong. One week later on March 18th, brave Kane passed on. Kane LOVED MAUI and loved bringing his Maui hook 🪝 everywhere he went. He also wanted to sing “You’re Welcome” 🎶 🌊 and that’s exactly what we did. He may have been quiet, but in his heart, Kane was just singing away…. To his parents, Charles and Christine, I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. Sending all my love, light and aloha. Stay strong. And lastly, to his twin brother, Dennis.. Man you’re an AWESOME brother and I can’t wait to shake your hand one day 🫱🏾‍🫲🏼 ps… Dennis - thanks dude for helping me sing You’re Welcome… you made it sound good!!! 😅🤜🏾🤛🏻 “He brought so much light to everyone who met him, so I want to continue to share that light” ~ Christine. Kane’s mama. #kane 🕊️✨🪝

If you’re lucky enough to reach the highest of mountain tops - in anything you do - you begin to ask yourself, “what’s next?” I had a good, sobering “come to Jesus” talk with myself back in Jan of 2020 when we all got rocked by COVID and then my dad suddenly died, and I heard his spirit whisper, “the show must go on” I realized it was time to get back to work, and create new mountains, and bring everyone along - because despite being #1 on ANY call sheet, success is NEVER singular. EVERYONE plays a critical part. I’m honored to my core to stand alongside my fellow men and women of color in Apple Films new two-part doc “#1 On The Call Sheet”. Your artistic talents are breathtaking, your drive is inspiring and cheers to creating new mountains ⛰️ ~ dj #1OnTheCallSheet Streaming NOW on @Apple TV

Sometimes dreams that don’t true are the best things to happen. Heartbreaking at the time, but you never know what’s in store down the road if you just keep working hard and moving on. These days I’m a lucky man, that I can create opportunities for young men to live their dreams, ball out, take care of their families and make it to the @NFL. Speaking of lucky, I wish I was lucky enough back then for my Miami teammates to tell me I was rocking such a fucked up haircut 💀🤣 @United Football League Championship Game 🏈 JUNE 14th St Louis LIVE on @ABC

Opening a birthday gift - one of the most meaningful gifts I’ve ever received. A ticket 🎟️ to a wrestling show I attended when I was 11yrs old to watch my dad wrestle. Who would’ve thought years later I’d hold this ticket, and wishing I had one more shot to say hello (or goodbye) to my old man. As a kid, we were always on the road and I don’t remember my dad smiling much, as he was always mentally tired and his body banged up and in pain from the nightly grind - but he did find moments of PEACE when he was wrestling in that squared circle. Even in this video you see my dad attempting a SLIGHT SMILE 🙂 I know I’m not easy to buy gifts for, so VERY thoughtful gifts like this mean the world to me from my loved ones. Mahalo brother Brad. And my sistas Maya & Mere too. ❤️🥃 @Jon Cruz  🎞️ 🥃

Havin’ a lil’ fun my uso @Iamtongi 🎶 The most beautiful voice, and beautiful heart. Great to hang with him and his team. I’m super proud of him and how he carries himself humbly in the spotlight (which is insanely hard to do, especially as a 20yr old young man) and most proud how he represents our Polynesian culture. We’re gonna work together and do something cool. Have some fun. Keep working hard uso, I’ll see you soon. Proud of you 👊🏾❤️

How bout this proof how life can sometimes come full circle? ⭕️💫❤️ I’ve had the privilege of granting hundreds and hundreds of kid’s wishes from @Make-A-Wish and every single one has changed my life every single time. And looking back to when I was a kid - my dad, Rocky Johnson was actually one of Make-A-Wish’s VERY FIRST WISH GRANTERS back in the 80’s. My dad was a very tough, no BS guy who wasn’t big on emotions. But when I saw him take this little boy, Bobby out of his wheelchair and hold him in his arms - I’d never seen my dad so loving, warm, caring and ATTENTIVE in my life. As a kid I remember thinking how surprised I was seeing my dad that warm and how cool it was to me, that my dad was a hero. But now as a man, I look back and think that the REAL HERO is that little boy Bobby, and my dad was LUCKY to have the honor of making little Bobby’s wish come true. I don’t have a ton of memories of my dad being so loving like this so it means a lot to me to relive this and this also reminds me of the power of MAKE A WISH. Thanks everyone for supporting Make-A-Wish, as I will always hold the foundation and ALL THE KIDS very close to my heart — I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes / It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice. Full ⭕️🙏🏾 shout out to @Jon Cruz for this amazing edit 🎞️🥃
