14 Things That Prove Dwayne Johnson Is A Great Dad

Dwayne Johnson isn’t just a swoon-worthy stack of muscles and acting skills — he’s a family man with integrity and a feminist. Here are all the reasons why we love The Rock, and why he’s one of the best celebrity dads to ever exist.

1. His relationship with his ex is so strong that she became his manager in 2008 and brought his career to the dizzying heights it’s at today. He didn’t burn bridges in his divorce, which is a fabulous role model move as a dad.

2. He always emphasizes kindness, even through all the games and craziness. He shows his kids that success doesn’t need to get to your head, and has been quoted saying “very few people emphasize how important being kind is when making it big. But it’s crucial.”

3. Although he’s considered one of the toughest guys in the world, The Rock has gotten vulnerable and opened up about going through depression, but wants to remind people that even though “dudes have a tendency to keep it in”, they’re “not alone.” Opening up doesn’t make you less of a man, according to The Rock. It makes you more of one.

4. His priority has always been to be a great dad, as he said on an episode of Oprah’s Master Class back in 2015. He shared that when his daughter was born, he told her, “I will always, always take care of you for the rest of your life. You are safe.”

5. He said on an IG post, “Every man wants a son, but every man needs a daughter.” Johnson is surrounded by women in his life, with his wife and three daughters, and he wouldn’t have it in any other way, calling them the “great equalizers in my life.”
