Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Reinvents Himself – Part II

First, he took on a bunch of action roles, understandable given his former profession. Then he starred in Disney’s The Game Plan. This was the perfect meld of the old Dwayne and the new Dwayne. He played a narcissistic football star (he played college football for the University of Miami) who unexpectedly finds out he has a daughter. Maybe this role hit close to home for Dwayne because he has a daughter of his own, Simone Alexandra. Proving he … Continue reading →
