“Every Man Needs a Daughter”: Dwayne Johnson, Shaped by Tough Love, Reveals Powerful Lessons He Intends to Instill in His Daughters

Dwayne Johnson rose to fame during his time at WWE. The credit not only goes to his in-ring skills and mic skills but also to his grit and determination. These two things might be the key ingredients required to make him the star he is today. And on many occasions, he has admitted that he learned these two from his father.  Speaking of those two qualities, Johnson recently revealed what teachings he would like to give to his daughters and what teachings from their grandfather he wants them to learn.

Dwayne Johnson and his message to all the fathers

While speaking with Trevor Noah, the Hollywood star revealed information on his father’s childhood. He said that due to all the things his father suffered at a very young age; he did not show much affection but was still there for him. He added that he will try to be as affectionate with his daughters as possible whilst also instilling their grandfather’s values of grit, determination, and hard work.

He concluded by saying, “Every man wants a son, but every man needs a daughter,”  showing how important his daughters are to him. Johnson’s father was the late Canadian pro wrestler Rocky Johnson. He had won multiple National Wrestling Alliance championships and is considered a pioneer in the world of pro wrestling.

Johnson had honored his father through the Young Rock biography series. In the series, the father and son both shared a bond that was quite similar to real life. But there is still one iconic scene which is still not recreated by the series.

Father and Son fighting side by side

At the WrestleMania 13, The Sultan and The Iron Sheikh attacked the young Rock. He was totally ambushed and was getting overwhelmed by the two giants. Rocky Johnson was present in the ring and immediately ran to his son’s aid. After putting up a fight, the father-son duo fended off the two heels. This happened to be the last appearance of Johnson at WWE.

The series based on Dwayne Johnson’s life was green-lit four days after his father passed away. The first episode was in honor of his late father. The late star has been pivotal not just for The Rock but for his fans too. He was the one who taught the tools of trade to Dwayne Johnson.
