THE ROCK:
The muscle-bound World Wrestling Federation champion, wearing only black briefs and the Brahma Bull tatoo on his right arm, is , some fans say, the sweetest, sweatiest spectacle there is to behold. The Rock(aka Dwayne Johnson) has brawn(he towers at 6-foot-5, 275 pounds), brains(he wows the critics with his witty sense of humor), and charm. The product of a Samoan mom(the daughter of the Hogh Chief Peter Maivia), and African-Canadian wrestling great Rocky Johnson, he specializes in smacking down his opponents.
Outside the ring, however, The Rock flips the script. He is a budding movie star who is a clean-shaven, snazzy dresser, known for his colorful shirts, gold jewelry and expensive shades. He is also a gentle giant who can flash a smile as wide as the great outdoors. The cameras love him, the fans love him, and even the critics of the sport are drawn to him. But underneath the guts and glory, The Rock will always be a mama's boy.
"My mom was the real rock of the family," he says in his book, The Rock Says. "Having grown up in the business, she understood the sacrifices that were necessary for success, And so she did what she had to do to keep the family together."
