Dwayne Johnson has established himself as an icon and is one of Hollywood’s most well-liked and recognizable figures.
The Rock Dwayne Due to his engaging demeanor, Johnson rapidly became a star in Vince McMahon’s WWF (now WWE).
The Rock is most famous for his feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin, and in recent months, there have even been rumors that he would make a comeback to the WWE for one final fight against his cousin Roman Reigns. Dwayne Johnson last competed in a wrestling match more than ten years ago, when he competed against newly-emerging actor John Cena.
But, while The Rock has had quite the successful wrestling career, he has transcended all popularity ranks because of his movie career.
Dwayne’s movie career spans more than 20 years and has many featured blockbusters like The Scorpion King (2002) Gridiron Gang(2006), Get Smart (2008), the Fast and the Furious franchise, San Andreas (2015), Bay Watch(2017), Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle (2017) and Central Intelligence (2016), Rampage (2018).’

Now, a list has emerged ranking the most popular actors among Gen-Zers, and it should come as no surprise that Dwayne Johnson was on top of the list, heavily beating many other popular names like Tom Holland, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., and Emma Watson.
Johnson took to Twitter to thank his fans for their support over the years.
Cool stuff Thx u Gen Z for choosing this Gen X big, brown, bald, tattooed, fanny pack man as your #1 I’ll continue to work hard to provide entertainment and comfort for all you As well as good tequila. If you’re over 21 Thanks again, means a lot LFG #GenZ
A poll among Gen-Xers actually showed Johnny Depp as the most popular actor for quite some time, but as you can see, when you get a younger generation, it is Dwayne Johnson who actually wins the contest.
Most recently, Dwayne Johnson starred in Black Adam (2022) and Netflix’s Red Notice (2021), as well as his new NBC sitcom Young Rock, where we get a picture of what his childhood was like growing up, including his relationship with his father Rocky Johnson. The Rock also just lent his voice to the movie DC League of Super-Pets (2022) alongside friend Kevin Hart, which was released earlier this year.
Johnson has been at the center of discussions recently, however, as James Gunn’s new DC Universe comes together and this included axing Henry Cavill from his role as Superman, just after making a cameo in Johnson’s Black Adam.
