Don't bully the poor boy: the history of the poor boy

To tell you the truth, recently the editor has an inexplicable admiration for people who are physically strong.

They didn't say a word, just stood in front of me, and I knew that this person was not easy to mess with, full of deterrence, and full of security.

If this strong man is still worth a lot of money, then I think this person can walk sideways on the rivers and lakes, and no one dares to bully him.

He is probably the legendary Chosen One!

However, this kind of chosen person is not a legend, and our global village really has it!

比如，靠《速激》系列大火的巨石强森Dwayne Johnson。

This pure man who was born with fighting genes attracted a crowd of believers who were obsessed with his devilish figure.

In 2020, in the Top 10 list of "The World's Most Paid Actors" announced by Forbes, Dwayne Johnson topped the list with 87.5 million US dollars (about 632 million yuan), becoming the world's highest-paid actor in 2020.

However, Dwayne Johnson was not born with such a powerful buff, but was acquired through hard work. Before becoming famous, Johnson was a poor boy with only 7 dollars in his pocket.

Today, the editor will share with you a wave of "poor boys' family history", if you are still worried about the difficulties in life, calm down first, maybe one day Johnson's fortune will come to you~

7 pieces became 200 million丨The poor boy's turnover

Dwayne Johnson was born in 1972 into a wrestling family in Hayward, California. Grandpa Peter McVia was a well-known American professional wrestler of Samoan descent, and his father, Rocky Johnson, was a trailblazer of African-American black professional wrestling.

The genetic traits of Samoa's Aboriginal and Afro-descendant people are passed down on Dwayne Johnson's body.

From the age of 8, Dad began training Johnson to become a wrestler.

When Johnson was very young, professional wrestling began to slump, the overall market went downhill, and Johnson's family became so poor that they couldn't even pay the rent, and the family was evicted by the landlord. On the day she was kicked out of her home, her mother, Ata, had suicidal thoughts when she walked into the rolling traffic of Interstate 65 in Nashville and was pulled back by Johnson.

Johnson and Mom

He started playing rugby in high school and wanted to improve his family's livelihood by playing professionally and was awarded a full scholarship.

Unfortunately, in his first year of school, he retired due to injury and gradually said goodbye to professional rugby.

Johnson's college major is forensics, he once dreamed of working in the CIA, only to learn later that he wanted to go to the CIA, at least to take another bachelor's degree in law, with his grades, no law school would accept him, so he had to give up.

After graduating from college in 1995, his livelihood was uncertain and his future was uncertain, so Johnson gave up on himself for a while, and his height of 190 was 280 pounds. He tried to play in neighboring Canada for $250 a week. After only 2 months, he was replaced due to injury problems and reluctantly returned to the United States.

In the hardest time, he was left with only seven dollars left—"five dollars each, one piece, and a little change, which added up to seven dollars." 」

Eventually, Johnson joined the WWE Wrestling League to make ends meet. Under his father's leadership, Johnson began a year-long high-intensity training that turned 280 pounds of fat into muscle.

In 1996, he made his debut at WWE, under the stage name "Rocky Maivia", his father's name and his grandfather's surname, which is why he was later called "The Rock".

His talent and hard work have earned him a total of 16 titles in WWE.

In 2001, Johnson tried his hand and participated in the movie "The Mummy Returns".

Although he played the Scorpion Emperor in the movie for only ten minutes, his unique temperament and hot body were immediately favored by the producers of the "Mummy" series, and in 2002, the movie "Scorpion King" was tailor-made for him.

He starred in the inspirational film "Reinvigorating the Ball" about the rugby team;

also starred in the comedy movie "Tooth Fairy";

participated in "Fast and Furious" 5, 6, and 8, which made him even more famous;

To stay in shape, Johnson eats six meals a day, 10 pounds of food, and wakes up at 4-6 to workout, like a relentless training machine. The word he often says when he is making iron is "focus".

In 2013, Johnson and his ex-wife and agent founded Seven Bucks Productions, building themselves from "a star" to "a company."

The main business of Seven Yuan Production Company is to develop scripts, shooting, and film promotion - self-produced and self-sold, which can be called Li Ronghao in the United States.

One day after that, when Johnson had moved to an 836-square-meter mansion in Florida, perhaps out of emotion, he published a piece of chicken soup on his social account, which is here for everyone:

"In 1996, I was so poor that I couldn't afford a mattress, so I had to go to motels and pick up old mattresses that they didn't want, and you can't imagine how hard I tried to get rid of the mottled stains...... If you're going through a painful time, think about the "old mattress"! Trust yourself to get through it, you never know where life will take you......

From a poor bastard with only 7 yuan on his body to today's highest-income Hollywood sweetheart, Johnson has walked step by step to the future he longed for at the most embarrassing time.

Imagine if he had bought hamburgers, fries and Coke with only 7 yuan in his pocket, and then found a corner to lie down and fend for himself after eating, the outcome might have been completely different.

He was so poor that he danced a striptease, and now he is the male lead of Marvel

There are many Hollywood stars who have had similar experiences with Dwayne Johnson.

Chris Pratt, who has been in the limelight in recent years, is one of them.

Chris Pratt was born on June 21, 1979 in Minnesota, USA, to a home maintenance worker and a supermarket cashier.

Chris is the quintessential scumbag. After graduating from high school, he barely dropped out of school in a semester at a community college and became a three-nil youth, starting his own years. He tried many different professions, which had a lot to do with what he experienced as a child.

Because his family was not wealthy, the life creed instilled in him by his family was:

Set goals, work hard, and save money!

When Chris was 10 years old, he wanted a toy gun, and his mother put a picture of the gun on the refrigerator and urged him to find a job to earn money. Washing cars, weeding, working as a nanny, selling fruit, and finally he bought his favorite.

At the age of 14, in order to save money for a pair of Reebok air cushion shoes, Chris "went to sea" and became a stripper — for $40, you could get the hot teenager to do an electric hip dance for his birthday party.

At the age of 21, he was serving dishes in a restaurant in Hawaii when he was discovered by actor Ryan Dawn Chong and made his first film. Since then, he has been determined to step into the film and television industry.

To build muscle, he went to the supermarket to stock up on the cheapest protein - canned tuna;

Unable to pay the high rent, he found a trailer to settle down and was ready to audition at any time.

Between 2002 and 2013, he played a number of small roles until 2014, when he got the opportunity to star in "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Jurassic World".

These two movies directly turned him from a Hollywood grassroots actor to a popular spicy chicken.

Looking back now, Star-Lord's character setting is very similar to his life experience, and they complement each other and occupy a place that cannot be ignored in the Marvel Universe.

In 2019, Chris Patra married Schwarzenegger's eldest daughter Catherine Schwarzenegger, which can be said to be the blossoming of career and love.

And when Dwayne Johnson, a good friend of Dwayne Johnson, we know, was young, his parents were forced to do a side-of-the-road business to make a living.

This did not prevent him from participating in the World Diving Championships with his own efforts, and then transformed into the protagonist of Hollywood blockbusters, marrying British supermodel Rosie Huntington-Wheatley.

"I'd rather bully the white-bearded man than the poor young man. In the end, there must be a day when the dragon wears the phoenix, and I don't believe that the pants will wear the hole. 」

——The Forty-sixth Chapter of "The History of Confucianism" Wu Jingzi (Qing)

The Rock, Star-Lord, Uncle Da and the poor boy's counterattack miracles that happen in every corner of the world all the time are always telling us:

Poverty and hardship in youth are only temporary difficulties, and as long as you work hard, you will not never find a way out.

Here, YOKA-kun also has a famous quote from Dickens for everyone:

Whether the long chain of life is made of gold, iron, or thorns, if you hadn't made the first ring on an unforgettable day, you wouldn't have lived such a life at all!
