The cast of Young Rock will also include Ana Tuisila as Dwayne Johnson’s sweet, but tough grandmother Lia Maivia.
Johnson says he was lucky enough to help his grandma out in life later on.
Maivia was also the wife of Samoan professional wrestler Peter Maivia, Johnson’s grandfather.
Not only was Maivia one of the first women promoters for pro wrestling, she also faced extortion charges and an acquittal before being deported from the country in the ’90s.
