Dwayne Johnson is a familiar face to many. Better known as The Rock, he’s a loving dad to daughters Simone and Jasmine. He doesn’t let his fame get to him, remains down to earth, and has even shared his experience battling depression which really impressed us.
We came across a video (posted late last year) that has recently been making its rounds on social media where he shares his experience overcoming the illness and how the lowest points of his life — being passed over by the NFL and cut from the Canadian football team — got him to where he is today. His inspiring story is precisely why he’s our dad crush of the week.
Of course, as a famous personality, Dwayne counts numerous A-listers as friends, including Pamela Anderson, Charlize Theron and Kevin Hart. He never fails to pay recognition to his fellow actors and colleagues, no matter how young or old.
We love how he has a good heart. He is often seen visiting hospitals with special needs kids. He has a way with little ones and knows how to brighten these kids’ days up tremendously, making them feel special.
We were touched by the story he shared on his Instagram about little Tater, a little warrior who has been battling cancer for the last four, coming five years.
When he found out he had a special needs fan who visited the Baywatch set in the hopes of meeting him, he put production on hold just to and say hi and chat with the family.
Of course, now that he has his own little ones to take care of, we’re sure his girls are definitely the apples of his eye. We don’t envy guys who would be dating them in the future though!
