Former college football standout, wrestling superstar and now actor/producer adds motivational speaker to his resume.
Video: Top 10 Games of the WeekKahuku vs. St. Louis highlights the best games in high school football this week.Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson is one of the world's most recognizable entertainers. A former college football player at the University of Miami, WWE superstar and now a Hollywood actor and producer, Johnson has done it all in his 43-year life.
Now add motivational speaker to his resume.
The Rock gave an absolutely "rousing speech" — according to Stephanie Lum, who
posted his pregame talk on Facebook — to members of the
Kahuku (Hawaii) Red Raiders football team prior to Friday's state championship game against St. Louis.
Even though Johnson grew up in Hawaii, he didn't attend Kahuku. He went instead to
McKinley (Honolulu).
He noted that St. Louis is a "private school, a privileged school," that will "punch you right in the mouth. But guess what? You punch back. Even harder."
The Rock, who appears in the middle of a workout, doesn't hold back in his speech. If the Kahuku players didn't have enough motivation to go out and win the state title, they sure do now.
