You can take the wrestler out of the ring, but good luck taking the athlete out of the actor.
“In order to become a good actor, you’ve got to become a student of the game,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson told us yesterday. “You’ve got to apply yourself, learn the craft. . . . It’s a big process and a process that I take seriously.” Aye-aye, coach!
Johnson, 34, spent yesterday in Washington to promote his new inspirational sports-themed movie “Gridiron Gang” and to host a screening of the flick for troops at Andrews Air Force Base. The WWF wrestler-turned-actor plays real-life coach Sean Porter , who organized a group of juvenile delinquents into a football team.
Johnson listed the virtues of sports to us and detailed how athletics turned him around, adding, “By the time I was 17, I’d been arrested nine times.” Although he made a name for himself in wrestling, Johnson said his days of slamming opponents in the ring are “absolutely” over. “I decided to quietly get out of wrestling” in order to focus on acting and to spend more time with family, he said. “I’ve been out for three years now.”

YOU THINK? You just can’t just drop the “we’re aliens” bomb, just like that on somebody. Now, I know I’ve seen some pretty weird things today, but you can’t expect me to believe that… — Dwayne Johnson
Congratulations Lela you are our May 2012 DJ fan of the month!
This is why she is Dwayne Fan of The Month:
TALOFA LAVA! I watched Dwayne Johnson during the Attitude Era and I became a huge fan. One of my favorite matches is when he wrestles Mankind in an empty area for the WWF Champion belt. Even though he lost it was one of the funniest and creative matches ever. From being a wrestler to an actor his story inspires me because he is the result that with hard work anything is possible. He had many setbacks in his life but he strives and perseveres in achieving his goals. I am a huge fan because he stays true to himself and a very humble person. I love the fact that he represents his cultures and being Samoan he shows the respect, faith, and pride of our people. Overall, Dwayne is unstoppable and will inspire future generations to come. TEAM BRING IT! ALL DAY EVERYDAY!
