Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently shared the origin of his acting ambitions in a video posted to Instagram, revealing that his passion for storytelling began at just eight years old.
Johnson recalled living in Charlotte, North Carolina, when Raiders of the Lost Ark hit theaters. “I’m there in the theater opening weekend, it’s sold out, I’m in the front row,” he said. Watching Indiana Jones on screen left a lasting impression.
I remember seeing Indiana Jones and saying ‘I wanna do that.’ He was cool with the whip and good with the ladies, he kicked ass.
Although acting was his early dream, Johnson admitted life took him in many different directions. “Along the way, I picked up a lot of other dreams and goals while navigating life’s twists and turns,” he explained.
