‘People thought I was a little girl’: 6ft 5 Dwayne Johnson makes shocking childhood confession

Dwayne Johnson is one of the most influential male actors and wrestlers of this generation. Reaching the heights of two lucrative ventures, you’d think Johnson is the epitome of the man. But even the greatest of us sometimes live in confusion.

The man single-handedly re-energized the entire superhero fan base towards the new Black Adam movie. And it shows how much hard work and dedication Dwayne Johnson can put into something he loves. But the road has never been easy for the former WWE Champion. He had to go through many bumps in the road in life. The kind of bumps in the road that were caused by the world and him too.

Dwayne Johnson reveals how people thought of him as a girl as a child

In an interview with People, Dwayne Johnson said, “I would say that between the ages of 7 and 11 people thought I was a little girl because I had very soft features and I had very soft afro hair. I sit next to a child, and within 60 seconds he asks me, ‘Can I ask you something?’ “, he recalls. “I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘Are you a boy or a girl?’

“Growing up, and you know we specifically followed these timelines in my life that were very defining times at 10, 15, and 18… there’s a lot of stuff between those years that happened… but it was complicated and the relationship that I had with my father was incredibly complicated – which was fueled by tough love,” DJ added.

But that Johnson experience is already recorded in his biography, “Young Rock.” A show centered around the Anoa’i family, a family from which Johnson and many WWE wrestlers come. As the title suggests, it documents the childhood of WWE’s biggest superstar, The Rock. From his youth in adolescence to his first failure in football.
