Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

While he is now celebrated as one of Hollywood's most wholesome and busiest actors, with a packed schedule of upcoming movie projects, Dwayne Johnson didn't initially enter the glittering world of Tinseltown.

By his stage name, "Rocky Maivia," a combination of his father's and grandfather's wrestling monikers, Johnson embarked on his wrestling career in 1996. He played a pivotal role in the formation and triumph of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), although he still occasionally steps into the ring.
