The Rock Is On The Horizon

The Rock Is On The Horizon

Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, is joined by his ex-wife Dany and daughter Simone, 6 1/2, at the Congressional Awards 2008 Gold Medal Reception in Washington D.C., on Thursday.

The 36-year-old professional wrestler turned Hollywood actor was honored with the Horizon Award, which recognizes people who help expand opportunities and set a good example for young Americans.

Johnson is of Samoan descent and runs an organization called DJ Rock Foundation that helps to educate children worldwide about nutrition and physical fitness.

Even though Johnson officially divorced his ex-wife just last month, he mentioned her in his acceptance speech, referring to her as, “my beautiful partner, Dany.”

He’s hot.

Their daughter looks more ethnic than them :). It’s like that in my family too (Latino). They all look good and happy- glad to see them still doing family events although they are divorced. Maybe they are together or will get back together. It amazes me how well some couples can handle divorce peacefully, good for them

# 7

She looks like Madonna’s daughter.

i love him!!

He seems like a great guy and he’s kinda sexy

Well a good divorce is usually a sign that they tried and both parties recognized they tried but some wierd reason it didnt work out and they both acknowledge that, yet they are respectful of each other ans can be firends becuase they built a good foundation in their relationship.. These 2 handled the rough and good together through college so these are probably the most important people in his life.!!

I like him and I think he is a great example of peseverance and all those good things …anayway I hope he can kick will smiths $CIENTOLOGY a-rs-e out of box office…he is such a dissapointment funding scientology schools to brianwash children into a cult..what a piece of $h-it WIll Smith Is!!!

Love them. And the little girl teeth looking better than before.

sad they divorce

So to elevate Dwayne Johnson you had to trash Will Smith…right!?!

I’ve never really liked him, don’t consider him an actor and don’t think he’s cute either…But I have to say it’s a pleasure to see divorced people who’re still there for each other. plus what he said in his speech seems to show a lot of respect for his ex.

He seems really nice - at least from interviews. How great for his daughter that he gets along w/ his ex. I think you have to be a decent person to not spite someone you ended a relationship w/, let alone marriage. So many people are quick to hate.

He’s Samoan and Black.

Thanks, J. Stewart,. I was about to say the same thing.

Dwane is of Samoan and African American. Dad is African-American and mom is Samoan.

I also liked him and I thought they were always so pleasant with each other. Update to see that they divorce, but happy to see that even though they are not together they share a love and respect for each other and that will be a good foundationship for the upbringing of their daughter. Good Luck to all of them. They are truly what a divorce couple she acted like. Props to them both. They are both classy people.

Technically, speaking, his dad’s African-Canadian, from Nova Scotia.

I’m still amazed by his ex’s parents being opposed to them marrying because he was “black” (he talked about it in an interview). Sometimes I’m seriously ashamed for some of my fellow Cubano Americans, and especially some who are considered just as negro as Dwayne by more people than not. Racism is an amazing thing, and as sorry as I am they didn’t work out, I’m glad they produced a beautiful lil Afro-Cubana/Somaon chica.

I luv me the rock. He is a good guy. And so is Will. The Rock gave money to a charity my school was involve in and it made a huge difference. So go Dwayne. Luves him! Thats his mom in the middle, his little girl looks exactly like Dany. I like Will Smith too, their friends folks.

Btw num #1 you like selfish Paris Hilton,going by your name thats your biz , why even come on his thread? Thanks JJ.
