Earlier, when Dwayne Johnson decided to move to the Hollywood, the commitment inspired much scepticism. But the star-wrestler ‘The Rock’ is now one of the most lucrative stars of the world. Initially, he made his debut in the Hollywood with ‘The Scorpion King’ which was the 2002’s ‘The Mummy’ spinoff. However, before that, he made an appearance in ‘The Mummy Returns’ and ‘Longshot’. Considering it is the beginning of the Hollywood career, we want to let you know that Dwayne had indeed come a long way.
The Rock recently took to Instagram to share a video about his journey in Hollywood. In the video, the star was indeed jubilant over the fact the his 20 year in Hollywood had surprised him. In a hotel he was staying, the team had made a mosaic of all the Rock starrer films. As he shared the video, Dwayne wrote an emotional note about his journey and expressed gratitude to the fans. He wrote, “Holy shit – this surprise really sat me down and got me thinking about the journey and these unpredictable roads we all go down.
20yrs ago when I first got to Hollywood – all the “experts” told me, I shouldn’t call myself The Rock, I shouldn’t go to the gym and needed to lose weight – and definitely don’t talk about pro wrestling.
I was told, “If you want to make it in Hollywood, you gotta be like these other guys…”
That never sat right with me, so I said I’m not doing that and the only person I gotta be like – is me.
If I failed, then at least I failed being real and being myself.
Years later, here we are and I’m saying “holy shit” to this career mosaic on the wall and most importantly, I’m saying..
THANK YOU to all of you for rockin’ with me down these roads for all these years.
Love U guys and cheers to the most important thing we can all be – ourselves.
