The most recent proof of this came to us this Sunday, when the legendary wrestler and actor spoke out on Oprah’s Master Class about his deep relationship with daughter Simone Johnson.
While talking about his current partner Lauren Hashian, who is pregnant with a baby girl, Johnson recalled the time when he realized what being a father truly means.
He said: “I realized being a father is the greatest job I have ever had and the greatest job I will ever have.”
Johnson continued: “I always wanted to be a great dad. I always wanted to give Simone things that I felt I never got. When I held her when she was born, I held her in these two hands and I said to her, ‘I will always, always take care of you, for the rest of your life. You are safe.’
The heartfelt story went on: “I literally held her in these two hands. Throughout the years, throughout the ups and downs, I’ve realized that the most important thing that I could do with my daughter is lead our life with love. Not success, not fame, not anything else but, ‘I’m always here for you. I love you.”
This is where the waterworks kicked in, as the “Furious 7” actor couldn’t help but show how deep this goes with him. Apart from being one of the most popular actors of the modern cinema and having such a beautiful wife, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is also a loving and understanding father.
