Dwayne Johnson biography

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is an actor and former WWE champion who built a global brand on heavy lifting, blockbuster movies, and relentless discipline. Outside of his acting work in major Hollywood films, Johnson has expanded his public brand into commercial ventures including men's personal care products.

Johnson spent years developing Papatui, a budget-friendly men's skincare and grooming line designed to make daily hygiene and self-care less intimidating for the average guy. The lineup includes facial washes, body cleansers, and tattoo lotions, offering high-quality ingredients without luxury department store prices.

Following his work on the movie The Smashing Machine, Johnson partnered with director Benny Safdie for Lizard Music, an Amazon MGM Studios and United Artists live-action and CGI hybrid feature. Johnson revealed at Disney's D23 convention that he spends five hours daily in the makeup chair undergoing extensive prosthetic work to portray a 70-year-old character in the film, which also stars Andrew Dice Clay and Alicia Silverstone.
