In case you didn’t know…

A Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame is regarded as one of the most prestigious honours an artist could earn over the course of his/her life.

The honour is bestowed upon professionals, mostly from the entertainment industry but also including a few notable persons from other spheres as well, for their invaluable contributions to the world of entertainment. The Walk Of Fame features brass and terrazzo stars engraved on the sidewalk along a specific section of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Hollywood, California.

The heart of the matter

WWE legend Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson transitioned from the world of professional wrestling to Hollywood; breaking through with The Scorpion King in 2002. Rocky is now one of the highest-grossing stars in Hollywood.

The Rock received a Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame for his contributions in the entertainment business and appeared to be considerably enthusiastic all through the ceremony. Here’s a brief excerpt from his statements at the ceremony—

“I am so grateful. I wake up every day, and my heart is so full of gratitude for the position that I’m in, for the opportunities that I’m able to create.”

Furthermore, The Rock thanked his mother—his biggest fan—for her support over the years. The Brahma Bull also addressed the millions and millions of The Rock’s fans, whilst emphasizing that one cannot achieve success alone, but only by working with each other.

What’s next?

The Rock continues to make sporadic appearances in the WWE but is currently busy promoting his next movie Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle which is out next week.

Author’s take

The Rock truly is the most electrifying man in all of sports-entertainment.

He’s perhaps Hollywood’s biggest star today, and most definitely deserves the prestigious Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Sportskeeda congratulates Dwayne ‘The Rock Johnson on this monumental accomplishment. Long live the People’s Champion.
