Dwayne Johnson first gained worldwide fame as a formidable champion in the arena of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Dwayne has faced some tough competition, battling wrestling heavyweights like Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, the Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Mankind, and others during his career as a professional wrestler.

Dwayne Johnson’s popularity as “The Rock” propelled him to the WWF Championship when he won the 1998 Survivor Series at age 26. Johnson’s stint with WWE has made him a household name for many across the world. In 2000, Dwayne Johnson took time off from WWE to film his first appearance in Hollywood by featuring in The Mummy Returns, and since then, the heavyweight has featured in several motion pictures including Be Cool, The Rundown, The Scorpion King, Walking Tall, and several others.

The Hindustan Times reports that the actor recently celebrated his 44th birthday, receiving good wishes from various celebrities around the world, including those from India.

Foremost amongst the Indian celebrities were Bollywood stars Priyanka Chopra and Varun Dhawan, who wished the Fast & Furious star a very happy 44th birthday. Varun Dhawan wished the wrestling champion well by referring to him as the sportsperson who has inspired millions of people. Varun further complimented the actor by calling him “electrifying,” thereby reminding the audience about Dwayne’s association with the Fast and Furious franchise.

In fact, Dwayne Johnson is all set to feature in Fast 8, which is currently still in production.

Priyanka Chopra took to Instagram to wish Dwayne a wonderful year full of happiness. The compliments and best wishes by the former Miss World again prove the extent of Dwayne’s popularity in the India subcontinent.

Priyanka even shared a photograph of herself with the former WWE heavyweight, with the photograph showing Priyanka donning a berry pink bodycon dress and The Rock looking stylish in a navy blue vest, pairing nicely with navy blue and red shorts.

The Indian film star is all set to work along with Dwayne Johnson in his upcoming movie Baywatch, which is based on the 1989 television series of the same name. Fans will see Dwayne Johnson playing the role of a lifeguard who will be saving the lives of people who are drowning and freezing at the beach.

Recently, Dwayne Johnson shared a picture from his forthcoming Baywatch and compared the movie to Avengers. The actor argued that the lifeguards on the beach also save lives and protect people like the fictional superheroes. Dwayne Johnson maintains that the lifeguards in his upcoming movie are heroes without capes and superpowers.

The movie is currently being filmed, and besides Johnson and Priyanka, the film also stars Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach, and Ilfenesh Hadera. And it seems that Dwayne Johnson is riding high on his current wave of success in Hollywood, and he is all set to leave his mark behind in a unique way just as he did in the WWE arena. The International Business Times reported that The Rock celebrated his stardom last year along with the success of his new movie San Andreas when his hands and footprints were put in cement in the forecourt of the Hollywood’s famous TCL Chinese Theatre in California.

Dwayne Johnson may appear busy with his numerous upcoming projects, but the wrestling legend is devoting a portion of his time to wake up and motivate his legions of fans.

According to the Economic Times, Dwayne has launched a line of motivational products as a part of his Project Rock initiative, with one of the more interesting products from the franchise being the Meet the Rock Clock, the wrestler’s new free app for iOS and Android.

The Meet the Rock Clock can be set to sound 25 custom alarms which are sure to get anyone out of bed, especially with the wrestler himself singing on a few of them. Additionally, Dwayne Johnson’s recorded messages are designed to motivate and cheer the phone owner to face the challenges of the day. And for those who are used to hitting the snooze button, that app clearly notes that The Rock will not be impressed if the snooze button is pushed.

Finally, Entertainment Weekly reported that Dwayne Johnson fans are looking forward to his new movie Central Intelligence, which promises to deliver in the buddy action-comedy genre.

Dwayne Johnson plays a CIA agent who teams up with his old-school friend, played by Kevin Hart, who is unaware that his school buddy is going to take him on a ride through the dangerous and unpredictable world of espionage and adventure.
