The Rock

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

Happy 5th anniversary, #Teremana! 🥃   Had to take a few minutes and pour myself a “gentleman’s amount” 😉 to express my gratitude - the global growth of Teremana tequila has been a wild, record breaking ride. THANK YOU to all of you - our Mana Ohana - for “loving the liquid” as they say. Back to work, brick by brick 🧱   Cheers 🥃   ~dj

Gratitude & Weather - both profoundly impact my life 🤪 Powerful quote from my guy @Inky Johnson “If you’ve forgotten the language of gratitude, then you’ll never be on speaking terms with happiness” Took a quick break from my training to share some gratitude perspective - tune in and give me yours. Enjoy your weekend. #gratitude #weather #goodstuff

So cool (I’m so grateful) to feel the global embrace of our Polynesian culture and the story of MOANA. Special shout out to my grandfather in heaven, the High Chief Peter Maivia 🕊️ 💪🏾 - the man who was my inspiration for the spirit and look of MAUI. 
Enjoy the movie and though we can never see it - always keep looking “beyond the reef” ~ maui🪝 #moana2 #disneyplus

Final Boss’ final prep 🔥 #wwe @Papatui #tattoostick

My dad was a strong, tough guy, and hardened by all the different kind of beatings life gave him, but I know he ALWAYS appreciated (and smiled!) receiving “his flowers” for all the challenges he overcame and road he paved for all of us of color, and all of us of ANY color. I get emotional in moments like this because it’s the great reminder to always be as present as possible with your loved ones, because we just never know what’s around the corner and when, just like that — they’re gone. My old man wasn’t a big “I love you” guy, but he would always say three things to me as a kid that always stuck with me ⚓️ - a day without pain, is like a day without sunshine. - respect is given when it’s earned, so go out and earn it. - the show must go on. Love you dad, see you down the road and thank you for paving the way. #RockyJohnson #Soulman #BlackHistoryMonth

You know I'm not letting a bunch of little girls grow up telling a story about how "The Rock killed our birthday cake" 😂🎂🤦🏽 Their high pitched shrieks in unison is the perfect way to spike your adrenaline! 💥🤪 Happy Birthday to my youngest tornado, Tia! ❤️🤎

Have you ever tried… Volcanic Ash in your facial scrub?? 🫧🧼🌋 You’re welcoooome 🎶 😉🪝Fresh new products for you from @Papatui #TakeBetterCare #SecretWeapons #PapaTui

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
