“End of story”: Dwayne Johnson Gave Up on His Dreams Because of His “Pile of Steaming S**t Grades”

Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, has achieved great success in his career as a WWE wrestler and actor.

Despite his accomplishments, he had other dreams that never came to fruition.

One of those dreams was becoming a professional footballer, while another was to become a CIA agent.

However, Johnson quickly discovered that he wasn’t academically suited for the criminology program required to become a CIA operative.

Speaking about the challenges he faced, including struggling with grades, Johnson said that his criminal justice professor and advisor convinced him that the best operative he could become for the agency is one that also had a law degree.

But realizing that no respectable law school would let him in with his poor grades, he gave up on this dream.

Johnson’s career in Hollywood took off after he made his acting debut in Star Trek: Voyager, where he played the role of a hulking combatant in the melee bloodsport Tsunkatse.

His physical prowess and muscularity in the show eventually became his biggest asset in various Hollywood action blockbusters.

The Fast and The Furious star rose to fame with his presence in the 2nd installment of the cult fantasy-adventure series, The Mummy Returns, before going on to act in many commercial blockbusters that cemented his place among the highest earners in Hollywood.

Despite achieving great success in his career, Johnson never forgot his roots and his love for wrestling.

He conquered the WWE before entering the very lucrative profession of acting in Hollywood.

Johnson’s family background includes many successful wrestlers, so it was expected that he would follow in their footsteps.

However, he also had a deep desire to play football professionally, which unfortunately did not materialize.

Johnson has shown that he is a versatile actor who can move between genres with ease.

He recently starred in Jumanji 2, which was a massive success and further cemented his status as an A-list actor.

In conclusion, although Dwayne Johnson had dreams that never came to fruition, he has achieved great success in his career as a wrestler and actor.

He is known for his versatility and ability to move between different genres with ease.

His physical prowess and muscularity have become his biggest asset in various Hollywood action blockbusters.
