Dwayne Johnson behind the Hollywood smothering action hides a father’s delicate gentleness for his daughter

Dwayne Douglas Johnson-The Rock isn’t just a famous actor, he’s also an accomplished professional wrestler. He was integral to the development and success of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in the industry’s heyday of the late 1990s and early 2000s, and is rightly regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.

Today, films starring The Rock have grossed over $10.5 billion worldwide, making him one of the most lucrative and highest-paid actors in the world. What few people know about Johnson, however, is that aside from everything else, he’s also a truly devoted and loving father.

His heartfelt Instagram posts and candid interviews where he talks openly about fatherhood reveal that being a father holds a special place in his heart, and that it’s one of the most precious roles The Rock has ever been entrusted with in his life.

Find out what it’s like to be the father of three daughters by two different women and why, in the wrestler’s words, “every man wants a son, but what he really needs is a daughter” in our gallery today.

Dwayne Johnson is the father of three beautiful daughters, Tiana Gia, 4, and Jasmine, 7, with his wife, singer-songwriter Lauren Hashiyan, and Simone Alexandra, 21, the daughter of his ex-wife Dani Garcia.

As a rising star, Johnson is consumed by the demands of his career. “I was really absent when my first daughter was growing up, and I wasn’t there for her at that critical age, at that very important time in her life,” The Rock now openly admits. He also confides that he deeply regrets the missed opportunities and precious moments he can never get back. But today, Johnson is determined to make amends for his mistakes, and he’s adamant that nothing will make him an “absent parent” who’s never there when you really need him! “I promised myself I’d never do anything again that took me away from my family,” declares The Rock, and judging by his posts, he’s doing everything in his power to keep his promise.

Johnson says he wants to be a better father than his father. He also says he hopes to cultivate a warmer relationship with his children than the one he was able to build with his late father, Rocky Johnson. Although Rocky sincerely loves his son, their relationship has been complicated and difficult over the years. This is one of the reasons why, when raising his daughters, The Rock prioritizes his presence, attention and active participation in his daughters’ upbringing.

Skala also claims that his daughters have taught him to be gentler and more attentive to others. He adds that raising the girls has undoubtedly had a profound effect on him, and today he has become more empathetic and sensitive to the needs of others. Mr. Johnson advises fathers of daughters to be above all “present” for their children, stressing that his daughters have taught him to be “more caring and gentle”.
