Any video showing Dwayne Johnson being genuine is alright in my book. Love this guy! Here he is at the red carpet premiere for The Game Plan. He opens up about how having a child allowed him to relate to his little co-star in a special way. Towards the end of the short video, the reporter brings up OJ and The Rock makes a joke about theft.

People Magazine is reporting that Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock) and wife Dany have separated. They released an official statement:

“While certain aspects of our relationship have changed, we are both vitally important to each other’s lives,” their statement reads.

“We will continue to advance and manage our business interests, our philanthropic efforts and most importantly the raising of our child together, as a loving team. We’ve been fortunate enough to spend the last 17 years together as a couple and look forward to spending the rest our lives together as best friends and business partners.”

How sad! A few years ago I saw an interview of these two and they just looked so happy. I think she was his accountant or handled or the money at least. They were joking around and really connected. Then again, it was several years ago. People change.  Their daughter Simone is now five years old.

“I’m not running around the streets in Beverly Hills and I’m not eating in those restaurants, looking to be seen or anything like that.

“I come to Los Angeles, go to work and then leave. I go back down to the country town where there’s a Dunkin’ Donuts on every corner, horses riding around and there’s fishing. Those towns are still very real.

“When you meet somebody they’re shaking your hand, they’re looking you in the eye, there’s no BS and there’s no pretentiousness.

“For every two good people in Los Angeles there’s about 22 a**holes running around.”
