Dwayne Johnson’s story is coming to a television screen near you!
“Ladies and gents, here’s your first look at @nbcyoungrock,” Johnson wrote alongside the video, noting how much he would have liked to share the moment with his father. “I really wish my dad was around to see this one. Maaaaan he would’ve been proud.”
In addition to poking fun at the “full mustache,” Johnson was rocking when he was 15, the clip included a light-hearted dinner scene between the star and his parents.
After his parents immediately shoot his drink order down, the youngster tries again, saying, “Fine, I’ll have a vodka martini.”
As his caption continued, Johnson — wholaunched his own tequila brand, Teremana, last year — couldn’t resist joking about his younger self. “Yes, I was clearly kicking puberty’s ass at 15yrs old and a tequila tycoon mindset at 10yrs old,” he wrote.
Ending the post on a serious note, the former WWE star added, “I can’t wait to make you and your families laugh a little and share thelife lessons I’ve learned along the way.”
In a fitting tribute to his father, who died last January at the age of 75, Johnson posted a video on Friday, raising a glass of tequila in his honor.
“I’m smiling, looking through my windshield thinking, ‘S—man, what do I do? What is my next move?’ " he continued. “Right as I was on the cusp of trying to figure out what do I do here, what’s the right decision, boom, I hear my dad’s voice in my head, which is hey — the show must go on.”
“This one’s for you, Soulman and you’re absolutely right… the show must go one,” the father of three wrote alongside the video. “And this toast is also to all of you out there and your loved ones who are no longer with us.”
“Let’s live with all we got - all our passion, love, ambition, humor, empathy, humanity…all of it. As the show must go on,” he added. “See ya down the road, dad.”
