GUESS WHO THIS BABY GREW UP TO BE?
( Photo by: Russ Einhorn / Splash News & Anne Cusack / Los Angeles Times )
It’s Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson! The ex-wrestler turned actor is currently working on 3 new movie projects, not to mention spreading his wealth with his many charity organizations. Sigh.
Got any baby photos of black celebrities? Send in an email, so we can post them up on the site.

Oh I didn’t see the prevous comments about his ethnicity. The reason way we keep saying that cuz they said under the picture Got any baby photos of black celebrities? and well he ain’t black. So could we just start using whoever on here that we find that’s a celeb baby. Not a bad idea and you’d have more choices to choose from. But I guess concrete loop meant that those are the ones the usually post or something. Im so confused.LOL

The Rock is half samoian and half black. His father is Rocky Johnson a retired black professional wrestler. Stevie Wonder can see that he is half black. Check out this link for his whole bio http://www.nndb.com/people/062/000028975/.
You got it right about the Rock’s origins. He was born and raised here in Miami in a black middle class neighborhood.
Still waiting to meet a full-blood samoian with the birth name “DWAYNE JOHNSON”

LOL@all the closet white ppl on this site. So quick to throw some black ppl this and that comment out there. You are not fooling anybody. The ROCKS DADDY IS BLACK so how are blacks trying to claim him? I think his dad is from Canada and not the US though. I could be wrong. And I dont know who started that bullshit about him saying he wasnt a “brotha” but thats a bunch of crap too. Stop trying to start shit. I did not know or care about his background until HE said he was black in an interview.

For the one who said African American’s claim anything with a drop of black, the white men made that rule so ummm discuss that on a white website.

The Rock’s dad is former pro-wrestler Rocky “Soul Man” Johnson. His mom is the daughter of former pro-wrestler High Chief Peter Maivia. I have never heard the Rock deny his origins. He just always make sure to let people know he is half Samoan. Why can’t he be proud of both sides of his heritage? Black folks are so damn sensitive.

The Rock has said a thousand times that he is black and Samoan. His father is black Canadian wrestler Rocky Johnson and his mother is the Samoan daughter of one Rocky’s old colleagues.
You can find this information anywhere and see him say it right out of his mouth on Youtube when he was recently on the WWF this year.
Geez!

Perhaps you should just read his bio and quit making him w/e race you want him to be. He is in fact Black and Samoan and one of the finest men I’ve ever laid eyes on.
