What Dwayne Johnson Really Looked Like At 10 Years Old

Publish date: 2024-05-03

It turns out Adrian Groulx's casting is actually pretty accurate. In February 2021, Dwayne Johnson promoted the show by sharing a snap to Instagram of himself at 10 years old alongside a photo of Groulx in character, and his resemblance to the star is uncanny.

The Rock flashed a big smile and showed off a hairstyle very similar to Groulx's as he posed in front of a gray background while wearing a Hawaiian shirt. "A little bucked tooth, afro'd 10 year old 'Dewey' played by the lovable @AdrianGroulx. Taking Hawaii by storm and trying to sneak a nip of tequila at the dinner table whenever I could," he joked in the caption, adding that the photo showed "where [his] wild life all began."

In another promotional image posted to Johnson's Instagram in September 2020, The Rock proved how much they look alike with a side by side snap as he called the young actor his "hero."

"At 10yrs old, I was rambunctious as all hell, was already girl crazy and loved pro wrestling — especially the part when wrestlers would bleed," Johnson wrote in the caption. "This kid, Adrian is my hero because I look back at this time in my life so fondly and how I viewed the world thru my 10yr old eyes. I was all these things but at the core I was a sweet little boy and a complicated little cub who just needed guidance."
