BABY DWAYNE Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson looks unrecognizable as a teen with slim frame in throwback before his body transformation

DWAYNE “The Rock” Johnson looked unrecognizable as a teenager with his parents in a shirtless throwback he shared on Tuesday.

The WWE legend – who was 15 at the time – looked totally different with a slim frame and youthful face in the photo.

The Rock posed with his top off in a pair of jeans with his arm around his mom Ata and dad Rocky.

The 49-year-old shared the photo to highlight the struggles the family was facing at the time.

“Here’s a crazy throwback to 1987. My dad, Rocky Johnson. My mom, Ata Johnson. Me at 15 years old,” the Fast And Furious actor wrote.

“This pic is very telling of the times as we all look fairly miserable. 6 months earlier we were evicted off the island of HAWAII and forced to move to Tennessee.

“Then 3 months later, we were forced to leave Tennessee. Complicated story. We wound up settling in, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania where this pic was taken.

“And I was just suspended from my new school (Freedom High) for fighting. And arrested for theft.”

Dwayne went on: “My old man had a lot of pressure on him just to pay the rent. As did my mom. You can see it in their faces.”

“Luckily I eventually got my s**t together and found a few buddies who I started going to the gym with, who eventually became my best friends.

(Nick T & Joey G).”

The Red Notice star then shared a photo of the cast of Young Rock – the sitcom based on the early years of his life – ahead of the show’s season two premiere.

Dwayne paid tribute to Stacey Leilua and Joseph Lee Anderson, who played his parents and Bradley Constant, who played his younger self.

“Love you Stacey, Joseph & Bradley! Thank you for giving us SMILES that we would eventually find on our own,” he wrote.

Dwayne found fame as a ten-time WWE world champion, before breaking into the movie industry.

The former wrestler is currently in incredible shape ahead of the release of Black Adam in 2022, where he plays the lead character of the superhero film.

He recently shared the “inappropriate” pep talk he gives himself to stay motivated during training sessions.

“I’m putting on my workout stuff, I’m tying my shoes, and I’m like, ‘S***, I should just call it a night. No-one’s ever going to know, everyone’s asleep, maybe I’ll just pick it up tomorrow.'”

THE ROCK’S PEP TALK

When this happens Johnson revealed what he does to push himself to carry on, as he added: “I try to remember what it was like when I didn’t have much at all; those seven bucks days.

“I try to remember that, and usually that gets my ass in gear. When I think back to the days of having seven bucks, and what it took to get to the position that I’m in now.

“If that doesn’t motivate me, I’ll ask myself, I’ll say: ‘How bad of a motherf***** do you think you are? How bad do you really think you are?’

“And then I’ll have this conversation with myself like I’m crazy, like, ‘Alright, it’s up to you. You think you’re a bad motherf*****? Well go out and prove it.

“So that is my answer as much as that is inappropriate and sorry for the kids that are watching with the language that I used, but that is the kind of stuff I tell myself.”
