The Rock supports daughter's plan to pursue wrestling career
Simone Garcia Johnson, the 16-year-old daughter of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, has her father's full support in her quest to become a professional wrestler.
The Rock spoke about his daughter's desire to follow in his footsteps during an appearance on "Good Morning America" on Tuesday to promote his new movie, "Skyscraper."
"She wants to be a WWE wrestler. I love that idea," he said. "We had this big conversation - she came with me to Hong Kong and Beijing - and I said, 'Honey, whatever your passion is, I support that.' And wrestling was good to me, I started my career in Madison Square Garden, so yeah, bring it on. She's gonna be a champ."
