Mumbai, Aug 14
Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson turned songwriter to celebrate the extraordinary bond he shares with his daughters Tia, Jazzy and Simone. He opened up about the unconditional love, protection and lifelong support he hopes to give his girls.
Johnson took to Instagram, where he promised them that he would always be their biggest cheerleader and "spiritual protector."
He wrote in the caption: "A song for my daughters, Tia, Jazzy & Simone. There's a very special 'one of one' bond between a daughter and her dad ~ and it's a deeper love that I never knew, you took my heart and you pulled me through."
He added: "I may stumble every once in a while, but as long as these calloused hands have life flowing through them, I'll always have your backs and I'll always be your lifelong (and one day your spiritual) protector and supporter. And I'll never ever stop trying to be the best dad and friend I can be for you."
Dwayne wrote: "And I'll continue to pray while you're sleeping, and watch you while you're dreaming and never stop trying to put smiles on your faces. I love you girls so much. Your dad xo."
On the acting front, Johnson will next be seen in the new installment of the Jumanji franchise is titled 'Jumanji: The Open World'. The upcoming installment will bring back Hart as Franklin Finbar, Johnson as Dr. Bravestone, Jack Black as Professor Sheldon Oberon and Karen Gillan as Ruby Roundhouse.

So sweet! But I hope he also teaches his daughters to be independent and strong, not just to rely on a "protector." As a modern Indian woman, I believe daughters need both love and empowerment. Still, it's a lovely gesture from a famous dad.
Dwayne Johnson writing a song for his daughters is fantastic. In India, fathers often show love through actions rather than words, but seeing a global icon express it so openly is refreshing. Also excited about Jumanji: The Open World! Can't wait for that one. 🎬
The way he talks about being their "spiritual protector" and watching them dream is just beautiful. It reminds me of my own father who still calls me every night to make sure I reached home safe. Rock on, Dwayne! You're showing the world what real fatherhood looks like. ❤️
Interesting how Hollywood stars open up about family so publicly. In India, we're more private about such things but the emotions are universal. Also, Moana was a great movie - glad to see The Rock doing family-friendly content. Looking forward to Jumanji too!
"You took my heart and you pulled me through" - that line got me! As someone who lost her father recently, this hits different. Dwayne Johnson is showing that vulnerability is strength. Wish more dads, Indian or otherwise, expressed love like this. 😢💙
