Dwayne „The Rock“ Johnson on sügavas leinas

World Wrestling Entertainment kinnitab 75aastase Rocky „Soul Man“ Johnsoni surma. 

Wayde Douglas Bowlesi nime all Kanadas Nova Scotias sündinud Rocky hakkas maadlema 16aastaselt, kirjutab People. 1970. aastatest 90ndateni võitis ta hulgaliselt auhindu, sillutades afroameeriklastele teed wrestling'uareenile. Koos oma paarimehe Tony Atlasega kuulus Rocky esimesse afroameeriklaste wrestling'umeeskonda, kes WWF maailmameistrivõistlused võitis. 1991. aastal võistlusspordist taandudes hakkas Rocky treenima oma poega Dwayne'i, kellest sai samuti profimaadleja, hiljem aga Hollywoodi edukamaid näitlejaid.

Happy Father’s Day to this hardly ever smiling OG bad ass. Little boys by nature, look up to and idolize their old man. They want to be just like em, do whatever they do and are always looking for their approval. Funny thing is the day I stopped looking for that approval was the day I understood what it meant to be man and more importantly, a father. That shift lifted me to a new level of gratitude for the tough love he always gave. Years later as a man and father of three girls, I know that tough love, is a helluva lot better than no love at all. I’ll take it. It’s made me who I am today. Grateful to the original Rock. #HappyFathersDay #KingStache #RockyJohnson

2018. aasta Instagrami postituses tänas Dwayne (47) oma isa, et too õpetas teda, kuidas olla lapsevanem. "The Rockil" on kolm tütart.
