Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) recounts his life of bad behavior, likening himself to God, due to being overwhelmed by fame.
He expressed: “Fame is a very unpredictable thing. It can be good, it can deceive you. If you are too immersed in it, it will take you down a long, dark and dangerous path, hurting your health.” Your career, your life, your relationships. Sometimes it’s a dead end.” The Rock explained that when he first emerged, he had delusions about his own stature. “I went to restaurant chains, arenas, and car dealerships and was recognized by fans. I thought I looked like The Beatles, Elvis, or Jesus,” he said.
He admitted that he behaved badly when he was young, like that time at a restaurant. Some fans came and excitedly asked Johnson for an autograph, but he signed with an uncomfortable attitude. This made the fans sad because they bothered him. But The Rock realized he was terrible: “It took 30 seconds for me to understand that I had a chance to make others happy, but made them feel uncomfortable. And I became an asshole. After that, I told myself I would never make anyone uncomfortable when they come to me.”
The Rock changed his attitude later and was considered one of the friendliest stars in Hollywood. He always enthusiastically interacts with fans, expresses his affection for relatives and shows warmth and humor on social networks. The male star’s Instagram page has 179.7 million followers, helping his career flourish. When turning to acting, the muscular actor often shares projects on social networks as part of the promotional campaign.
He explained the change in thinking: “My fame today is far greater than in the past. But instead of promoting fame, I promote my fans.” Also in the post, The Rock reminded everyone not to chase fame, but to work hard to be good at something, then work harder to excel, then another 10 to more than 20 years to become a master. .
The Rock appeared in many popular works such as the Fast & Furious series , the Jumanji series , the movies San Andreas , and Rampage . He repeatedly led the list of highest -earning actors of the year, and was selected by Time as one of the 100 most influential people of the year (2016 and 2019).
