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.”

20+ pictures inside of The Rock at the Congressional Awards…

Sweet man. Deserves the award. Glad to see the ex’s together. He hasnt wrestle in years. Do you Rock go baby! :smile:

I have no clue who this guy is, but it is beautiful that he and his ex-wife still have a good relationship. It will make the situation of not always having both parents around and keeping in contact so much easier to handle for their daughter, than if they were talking bad about each other, we’ve seen enough dirty divorce battles going on.

Oh, and by the way, if you have a second to spare, please visit my new blog http://www.sunnykidstyle.com/ about stylish design for kids and feel free to give me some feedback. I’d really appreciate it :):)

Dwayne was The Scorpion King, he starred in The Rundown, Be Cool,Get Smart as Agent 23 ,The Game Plan ,Gridiron Gang ,Spy Hunter Nowhere to Run ,Southland Tales and many more…

Marry me Dwayne I am a pretty hot Irish girl. I’m single whats your digits…call me..

I think he is super cute.

30th!! I think it is great that he and his ex-wife Dany are friends. Especially when they have a daughter. How easy it must be on her not having parents who fight and scream with each other. They are to be commended for their efforts. Dany is pretty and The Rock is handsome, so I’m sure they will have no problem finding other partners. His award is well deserved!!!

I love him! He’s such a wonderful person. And he’s soooooooooo HOT!!!

Shame the man can’t take the time to make a phone call that he is legally suppose to!

The Civil Lawsuit against Mr Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the Superior Court of Arizona was met in mediation in April 2008.Even though Mr Johnsons attorney signed/agreeing to a mediation settlement to “resolve” the matter-Mr Johnson nor his staff has met ANY of the settlement agreement-thus breaking the mediation agreement! Lying to an totally disabled & multiple health problems young woman who is the Plantiff in this case and not much longer to live.

Samoans are like a Asian/African combo.. I don’t know their history, but I am willing to bet at some thime in history some Asian group and African group mixed up.

Fiji have black people. so that makes sense..

The little girl has very bad teef.. wew!!

I was at the Congressional Ceremony and the body guards made it impossible to take a picture of him or with him. Also the Rocks speech had many sarcastic jokes that some thought were offensive, also he spoke nothing about the Rock foundation during his speech.
