It is almost impossible to discuss WWE Superstars and acting in any capacity without talking about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The highest-paid actor in Hollywood from 2018 to 2019, The Rock appeared in at least 49 movies and TV shows making his animated feature debut with the poorly received science-fiction comedy Planet 51 in 2009. In this role, The Rock played Charles “Chuck” Baker, who lands on an alien planet reminiscent of the United States circa the 1950s.
Seven years later the WWE legend and future Hall of Fame inductee would return to animation. This time appearing in Disney smash hit Moana. In this role, the 7-time WWE World Champion would voice Maui, a demigod who was abandoned by his human parents as a baby. According to legend, the gods took pity on Maui and instilled in him the ability to shapeshift thanks to a magical fishhook. Maui fabled to have stolen the heart of Te Fiti is then forced to assist the titular protagonist Moana in her quest to reunite Te Fiti with her missing heart.
The film turned out to be a critical and commercial triumph, grossing over $690 million at the box office in addition to being nominated for two Academy Awards, one for Best Animated Feature and for Best Original Song for “How Far Will I Go?”. The movie’s success would also help tsolidify The Rock's legacy as WWE's most successful export.
