Representation of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson:



Dwayne Johnson, is a renowned person who is well known for wrestling, acting and an influencer. When he was in the wrestling industry, he was well known and known as the “the rock” and his persona was like a person who is very energetic, humorous, and very likable form the fans and the company that he has worked in for 8 years and then re-joined the wrestling industry in 2011 and retired in 2019 and all together it was a total of 16 years and then when he was in the movie industry he had experience in acting due to him working in couple of films during his career as a wrestler.


In the first clip, the representation of this is how the wrestler ‘The Rock’ is a person where he is very funny, very outspoken about his opinions and doesn’t care about what anybody says about him. The Rock was very likable in the WWF/WWE era where he has performed in front of these fans and in his time, he has send some inappropriate comments about any wrestlers that he had to perform with, so that the fans can have a laugh about it and enjoy themselves when a wrestled gets violated. It shows a difference mostly of how he talked in 3 third person, when he says, ‘The Rock’, instead of the word ‘I’. This shows how he has addressed himself not as a personal matter, but on a professional matter, where this personalities are completely different. Another aspect of representation is that how he is talking, where he talks like he is serious and very impactful, in terms with the other wrestlers were almost he makes them feel fearful about getting in the ring with him.



In this clip, it shows a different stage in life, were he focuses on his acting career, and he focuses on how the movie represents his roots and his culture as a Samoan person. This shows how he can show his roots in an animated way, where it shows a different side of him, where it shows a symbolic gesture where it shows his experiences and his traditions as a man whose heritage is Samoan. Another way is that he represents the culture is by describing what the tattoos shows and represent and the accessories that they way, for example the flower garland as it represents power and authority towards about people who are in position of power.



In this magazines cover, it shows how Dwayne the Rock Johnson it now modelling for the Men’s Health Cover, because of how the Rock looks very strong and very muscular as he looks like he has been working out for a long time. Another thing is how it says ‘Rock Solid’ which suggest how it shows the different between the stage name and the actual rock. This representation of this is how he is very sociable and cares about his physical appearance and it shows in a lot of Mens Health Magazines and how he is a role model for other people and how he doesn't care about any insecurity that he has. This shows how is represented as a person who is well respected around the community. Another thing is that it shows facts about the rock, for examples it says 'Build Huge Biceps', 'Find Inner Calm', 'Net $280M', 'Rules the World'. This shows that this is the proof that if you do this workout, this can be the output if you put the gain and the time in.
