Why Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Is The Highest Paid Movie Star In The World

The truth behind his tattoo

In 2003, Johnson decided to get an enormous tattoo which extends from his chest to half way down his left arm. Instead of just getting it for the sake of it, the tattoo holds huge meaning Johnson. The tattoo is a partial Pe’a which is common in traditional Samoan culture and it tells the story of his ancestors and his own life.

The entire tattoo took 60 hours of work to complete and it is now synonymous with the actor. His Moana character even has a very similar piece of body art.
