The Rock is one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time. He changed the landscape in WWE during the Attitude Era and brought in many fans.

After WWE, Rock became Dwayne Johnson, the Hollywood actor, and he’s never looked back. He has become one of the highest-paid stars in Hollywood, and his films have grossed billions at the box office.

However, one thing that hasn’t changed is his humble and noble nature. Johnson has been a charitable man who knows what it’s like to grow up with hardships. That is why he is always looking to give back as much as possible.
