Turns 20 in Hollywood

Also, Just a few days ago Johnson celebrated two decades as an actor in Hollywood. For this, through her Instagram account, which has more than 340 million followers and is one of the largest on the platform, she has shared an exciting video thanking her fans for their support over the years.

“This surprise made me reflect on the journey and on the unpredictable paths we all take. 20 years ago, when I arrived in Hollywood, all the “experts” told me not to call myself The Rock, not to go to the gym and lose weight, and not to talk about wrestling at all.. I was told: ‘If you want to make it in Hollywood, you have to be like these other guys… ‘. I never liked it, so I said I wouldn’t and that the only person I have to look like is me. If I have failed, at least I have failed to be real and to be myself. Years later, here we are and I’m saying ‘Wow!’ to this mosaic that is my career and, above all, I say … THANKS everyone for rocking with me on these streets for all these years. I love you guys, and here’s the most important thing we can be: ourselves.”Johnson wrote in the post caption.
