Dwayne Douglas Johnson also known by his ring name The Rock, is an American actor, businessman, and former professional wrestler.

The Great One once revealed he decided to work out because of Schwarzenegger. However, there is a big reason why Schwarzenegger helped Johnson take up bodybuilding as a hobby. Once Dwayne Johnson appeared for an interview with Muscle and Fitness, where he shared his reason for hitting the gym.

The Great One said, “I’m a long way from being evicted, but I’ll never forget it. I’ll never forget the feeling. I’ll never forget my mom crying and I’ll never forget the thought I had: ‘Well the only thing I can do is just go build my body,’ because the men who were successful that I knew of—Stallone, Arnold, Bruce Willis—they were men of action.”

After all those years when Johnson became successful like his idols, he calls as successful. We refer him to as the current generation’s action hero in Hollywood. It was similar to how Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone were back in the day.
