It’s one thing to know each other at a professional level, but it’s an entirely new dynamic when two celebrities know each other at a personal level. For example, Ski Racer Lindsey Vonn and Pro-Wrestler Dwayne Johnson being friends beyond the professional realm is something fans know, but often wonder how their friendship started.

So, how did the two become friends? Reportedly, it started when Lindsey Vonn heard that Dwayne Johnson claimed she could keep up with him at the gym. She revealed that was the beginning of her admiration for Johnson, which has now matured to a full-fledged adorable friendship.

They exchange voice notes, birthday messages, and everything in between. In fact, she revealed that ever since the blossoming of this friendship, she’s learnt quite a bit from him and he has helped her grow as an athlete and a person.
