Hollywood Megastar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson started hustling at a very young age in his career. The Rock began his professional wrestling career when he followed in his father’s footsteps, Rocky Johnson. However, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wanted to become a football player, but he made a fortune in the WWE. So, The Rock has spent most of his life hitting the gym. Imagine, The Rock started playing with dumbbells and weights when he was just 14-years-old!

Since The Rock wanted to become a footballer, he has trained hard to build a mountain-sized body for most of his college life. But because of his impressive physique and maintenance of his shape, we can say The Rock ages like a fine wine.

However, a 16-year-old Dwayne Johnson looks older than The Rock we see at 49-year-old. Johnson showcases a real-life example of Brad Pitt’s movie, ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’.

Why does The Rock set an example of real-life Benjamin Button?

A resurfaced photo of Dwayne Johnson from his high school yearbook shows that he looked older than how he looks now. Dwayne Johnson had a mustache that older people usually preferred on their faces during high school. In addition, Johnson also had a military-cut hairstyle, which made him look a little more senior than a teenager.

Even though Dwayne Johnson used to work out heavily as a teenager, his appearance as a 16-year-old was more contrasting than any other teenager. However, when we look at Dwayne Johnson’s current appearance, he does not look like a 49-year-old man.
