The former wrestling champion has joined Hollywood’s finest with his Star
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has been honoured with a star on the esteemed Hollywood Walk of Fame, marking his transition from WWE wrester to Hollywood heavyweight.
The former heavy-weight champion was presented with the honour on Wednesday, joined by pregnant, long-term girlfriend, Lauren Hashian and adorable two-year-old daughter Jasmine.
He thanked his mother Ata Johnson, declaring her the “strongest woman I know”, in front of the gathered crowd on Hollywood Boulevard.
The 45-year-old said: “We were driving over here and she was like, ‘Did you ever think this would be possible?’ I said, ‘No not at all, we were evicted when I was 15.’ And now we’re here and this is amazing.
“We were evicted out of our one-bedroom apartment in Honolulu, Hawaii, we were forced to leave the island and here we are today.”
