Dwayne, “The Rock” Johnson, has Samoan ancestry while predominantly living in the United States. However, not even his fans may know that he received Canadian citizenship in 2009 owing to his father’s birth in Nova Scotia. But that isn’t it, and he was even signed to Calgary’s football team at one point.

After dropping from the football league, he debuted in wrestling that same year. He rose to stardom in the mere blink of an eye, and that changed his life. In 2000, The Rock hosted Saturday Night Live, and the rave reviews from that episode had him receiving offers from Hollywood soon after.
