5 things you probably forgot about The Rock

#1 The Rock wanted to be an agent

Why did The Rock want to be an agent?

The Rock always wanted to make it big in professional football, but when he realized it wasn't going to work for him, he turned to professional wrestling. While it worked out more than just fine for him, The Rock's name would've never been linked with the sports-entertainment industry had he chosen to become an agent.

Speaking in an interview, The Rock once revealed he never thought about making a career in professional football or wrestling. Instead, he planned to work for two of the top law-enforcement agencies in the free world, FBI or CIA.

While he graduated as a Bachelor of General Studies in criminology and physiology, for him to become an agent, it was necessary he'd have some kind of degree in law.

Unfortunately, he wasn't very good when it came to his grades. On top of that, he was arrested multiple times for committing trivial crimes during his teen years. It was hard for The Rock to let go of his dream of working for the FBI or CIA.

However, it was probably for the best. His decision eventually led him to the doors of pro-wrestling, which goes without saying turned around his life. Years later, the Samoan Superstar is inspiring millions and millions of people and is recognized among one of the most influential people in the world.
