Introducing our November cover star, Dwayne TheRock Johnson. With his new action film ‘Red Notice’ on the horizon, the megastar and entrepreneur reflects on his volatile childhood, those rumored political ambitions, and Vin Diesel’s “bullshit.” 🔗:
This is when Jasmine appears to declare her more-lemon-cake-related agenda.
Johnson’s friend Oprah Winfrey detects something distinctive at work here. “Most people have the ‘Do you see me?’ gene,” she says, “but he truly has the ‘I see you’ gene. And I think the reason why he’s adored is because he is adoring of other people…. He really is what he appears to be. And people know that.”
The first event came when he was 14. The family had been based in Hawaii for some time, but his father was off wrestling in Tennessee. One day, he and his mother came home to their Hawaii apartment to find a padlock and an eviction notice. His mother was distraught. “That was a defining moment,” he says. “I remember at 14 thinking, I will never, ever have my parents go through this again.”
“My mom gets out, completely glazed over in her eyes, and walks into I-65, walks in the middle of the highway,” Johnson says. “Into traffic. Big rigs swerving. Like she felt, ‘What has my life come to? I don’t care anymore.’ ” That was almost 15 years ago. They were finally married in August 2019, in Hawaii, the ocean before them, in a small family ceremony that they managed to stage without word leaking beforehand. The wedding itself was at nine in the morning; in taking their vows, Johnson said not “I do” but ““I think I have had to be nothing but myself with Lauren,” he tells me. “And she has had to be nothing but herself with me.
So he and his ex-wife built a new team. One pivotal part of the ascent that followed was the huge success of his appearances in the Fast & Furious film franchise.—in which his character, Luke Hobbs, was introduced—would nearly double the previous installment’s gross, something that Johnson acknowledges “really lit a rocket under my market value in our business.
It was subsequently reported that some kind of peace meeting took place soon afterward in Johnson’s trailer.” Johnson tells me, laughing. “I wouldn’t call it a peaceful meeting. I would call it a meeting of clarity. He and I had a good chat in my trailer, and it was out of that chat that it really became justPHOTOGRAPHS BY MARK SELIGER. STYLED BY ILARIA URBINATI.
“I don’t like to feel like I have constraints on or am trying to fit a mold or ‘This is how it’s done, so this is how you should do it,’ ” he says. “I do have a little bit of a challenge with that. Maybe a lot of a challenge. And so when they say ‘Dial it back,’ I say, ‘“I think the allure of D.J. is that underneath the muscles—which are all, by the way, spray-on muscles, I found out when we were shooting—he is incredibly vulnerable.”with Reynolds and Gal Gadot, appears on Netflix this month.
“Oh, yes, of course, his gate,” he says. “I guess he ripped it off its hinges because Dwayne has rabies.”Johnson’s movie career has been only one aspect of what he does. Aside from various TV projects, his many other pursuits include his Project Rock Collection sportswear brand with Under Armour; his own sports drink, Zoa; co-owning the XFL football league; as well as the aforementioned tequila, Teremana.
It says plenty that Johnson receives this question not as one about speculative pie-in-the-sky ambition but as one requesting practical information. Eventually he phoned his wife, asking her not to tell his mother until he could be there. After, he sat there some more. Should he head home right now? He couldn’t decide. Then he heard his father’s voice in his head. Wrestling was a tough world, not without its early deaths, and Johnson remembered what his father would always say in their wake: “The show must go on.” That was his father’s way, and that was the guidance his son would take that day.
