Hollywood actor Dwayne Johnson celebrated the birth anniversary of his late father Rocky Johnson. On Tuesday, the actor took to his Instagram, and shared a throwback picture with his father.
He also penned a long note in the caption, and called himself a DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) agent even though he was 15 years old at the time.
He wrote, "Happy heavenly birthday to the OG Rock, my pops Rocky Soulman Johnson. Raised me the best of his capacity, and with a very tough hand. My dad's on my right, his training partner, Tracy is on my left. I'm 15yrs old here, always angry about something and never smiled much back then. But at least I looked like a 58yr old DEA agent and kickin' puberty's a**. Happy Birthday Soulman (sic)".
