Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson New Image “Family Film Star”
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is featured in today’s USA Today. Johnson is sporting an new image according to USA Today, as an Family Film Star.
Even on set, Johnson is something of a changeling. When he gets around Fickman, Johnson can be as cutting as a stand-up comic. But when a girl who looks to be about 12 sheepishly approaches Johnson to have a photo taken, the divorced father of a 7-year-old girl comes through.
“Sure, honey,” he says, bending his massive frame to get in the picture. “You just want one?”
The one role Johnson says he fears playing is the aloof star.
“I used to be that guy who didn’t want to be seen or bothered,” Johnson says. “I’d wear hats, sunglasses, anything to not be recognized.”
Then his ex-wife, Dany, suggested that Johnson put himself in the shoes of his fans. The two went to a restaurant that night, and Johnson imagined that the patron at the next table was him, and he was a wrestling fanatic.
“I realized that that fan would remember for the rest of his life getting an autograph or a picture, and all it takes is three seconds of kindness,” Johnson says. “Now when I see an actor who won’t take that moment, it (ticks) me off.”
Dwayne “The Rock Johnson is setting his goals higher:
“Maybe I’ll give Broadway a try,” he says. “But you know what would be great? Hosting the Oscars. I promise you, that would be a show no one forgot.”
