He was born on May 2, 1972, in Hayward, California, to a Samoan mother and a Black Nova Scotian father. Johnson's athleticism came naturally, as his father was also a professional wrestler. He played college football at the University of Miami and also had a brief stint in the Canadian Football League before pursuing professional wrestling. In the late 1990s, Johnson signed with the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) and quickly became a fan-favorite due to his unmatched charisma and in-ring abilities. He won several championships and headlined numerous pay-per-view events during his professional wrestling career. After retiring from wrestling in 2004, Johnson transitioned to Hollywood and began acting in films such as The Scorpion King, The Fast and the Furious franchise, and Jumanji. His immense popularity and recognizable persona have made him a highly sought-after celebrity, and he is considered one of the biggest names in entertainment.
