In an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone, Dwayne “The
Rock” Johnson revealed that he’s trying out a new career…in
music!
Johnson, one of Hollywood’s biggest movie stars at the
moment, told Rolling Stone that when he was a kid, he
dreamed of being a country music star.
“As you roll along in life, I’ve been real fortunate to be
part of some really cool projects, and love it. But music
has always been such an anchor for me, and very specifically
in genres that I love, like country music, traditional
country music. And we’re exploring that now,” Johnson said.
He admitted that he’s at a stage in his life that whatever
he feels like doing in the morning, he does it.
Johnson, along with his wife Lauren, executive produced
Moana: Voices Across the Ocean, an album with music inspired
by the movie Moana. It was released in late July, and one of
the songs is performed by Johnson himself.
The song, titled Your Dad, is dedicated to his three
daughters.
“The things we do, we must do them for ourselves, and then
we must feel it in here, behind our ribcage. But they’re
also always connected to some sort of commerce,” Johnson
said. “You make films, especially the big four-quadrant
movies, you want them to do well. But this song, for me, is
just a song to my daughters. Where there’s no pressure of an
expectation to deliver something that, ‘Well, how are the
sales, and how’s the box office? And how’s the streams?’
It’s just from me to them.”
