"The Rock" no longer wants to be known as simply "The Rock."
The former wrestler has gradually made his move into using his full name professionally instead and insists that everybody call him by his birth name too.
The famous wrestler who has been known as "The Rock" for years and years by fans all over the world is now ready to let his nickname go. Since making it into the movie industry, he now wants to be addressed to formally - by his proper name Dwayne Johnson. The sta rbelieves this will garner him the kind of respect he deserves from those in the business, including movie critics.
The actor, formally known as "The Rock said, "From now on please call me Dwayne Johnson. I want to be known as Dwayne Johnson the actor, and not The Rock. I loved The Rock; The Rock was a nickname but what's happened is it's naturally progressed into Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. When it becomes just Dwayne Johnson, as it will in the next movie Southland Tales, that's fine. I never wanted to make that defining statement. It just didn't feel right to me."
