— Actor and former WWE star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is featured in a cover story on the March issue of Giant Magazine. In the article, “Dwayne Johnson: Metamorphic,” he discusses everything from growing up in a wrestling family to his now thriving movie career. In addition, he credits professional wrestling with providing him a unique lesson in the art of performing. He tells Giant Magazine, “Wrestling gave me the platform to entertain crowds of twenty, thirty, forty, fifty thousand people. The experience was invaluable. ..We played Madison Square Garden every month and a half, one little stage. That was my theater, and what a learning experience it was.” The magazine, now available on newsstands, features nine full-page pictures of Johnson. In addition, Giant Magazine’s website features an excerpt from the article along with an exclusive photo album. You can see it at the following link.

“I just spoke with Victoria on the phone and I must say, I MISS HER!!!!! I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with her and more so, to still have her friendship. She is truly one of a kind,” Yada wrote. “A couple of the boys were in town for the west coast house shows and tapings. It was super fun to see them and hang out again. Sorry everybody, no pics this time….my camera was broken 🙁 But I must say, and please repeat after me: Alcohol is not a food group….alcohol is not a food group….”
