The Rock shares the cutest snap of his new born daughter Jasmine

Dec 21, 2015

Well, it seems that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is a very grateful dad today.

Just a few days after his girlfriend, Lauren Hashian gave birth to their baby daughter, Dwayne shared the most adorable picture on Instagram, along with a heartfelt caption.

In the picture, we can see 4-day-old Jasmine lying on her father's bare chest, apparently just minutes after she was born.

In the caption, he wrote: "Christmas came early! Within minutes of being born she was laying on daddy's chest. And being a grateful man takes on a whole new meaning… Thank you guys so much for the awesome congratulatory wishes and love you've been sending.

"We're extremely grateful. Kinda crazy but in this cool and powerful skin to skin bonding moment with my newborn baby Jasmine, I had just one wish I asked the universe…

"Give me the strength to be a better man today than I was yesterday. If I can accomplish that, then I'd have a good shot at being a great father."

The Rock then went on to describe everything he went through for the birth of his daughter.

"Something else that'll never steer you wrong is "walking thru the fire" with your baby's mama. I was right there during labour, helping her breathe, every highly intense contraction, every second of pain, right there watching the actual birth, cutting the cord and wiping the tears. Incredible," he said.

"But as men, it's a miracle we should witness because it'll give you a whole new respect for the strength and beauty of a woman."

God love any man that goes near Dwayne's daughter in the future – they certainly won't have it easy!

Heartbroken: Dwayne Johnson says goodbye to his adorable puppy

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson took to social media last night to share some heartbreaking news.

The actor and his girlfriend had to say goodbye to their French bulldog pup Brutus yesterday, making the "painful decision" to have him put down after a tragic accident.

Little Brutus had accidentally ingested a toxic mushroom outdoors which resulted in liver failure.

Another reminder we have to live and love as greatly as we can today, because tomorrow is never guaranteed. At approximately 11:15pm last night myself and @laurenhashianofficial had to make the painful decision to end Brutus' suffering by taking him off of life support and sending his soul to pup heaven. I held his lil' paw as he was finally at peace. As all puppies and dogs do, he ate a mushroom while playing outside with his brother Hobbs. This mushroom happened to have a lethal toxicity and within hours it was rapidly destroying his liver and immune system to the point of no return. I encourage all of you out there to be mindful of mushrooms in your yards, parks or anywhere outside your dogs play. What looks innocent, can be deadly to your lil' family members. Thank you Dr. Deckelbaum and Dr. West and the incredibly caring nurses and staff at The Animal Medical Center At Cooper City. We'll always love you Brutus.. and you'll always be my lil' main man and rough housing Brute. #RIPBrutus #WishICouldveSavedYouOneMoreTime

"As all puppies and dogs do, he ate a mushroom while playing outside with his brother Hobbs," Dwayne said of the accident.

"This mushroom happened to have a lethal toxicity and within hours it was rapidly destroying his liver and immune system to the point of no return.

"At approximately 11:15pm last night myself and @laurenhashianofficial had to make the painful decision to end Brutus' suffering by taking him off of life support and sending his soul to pup heaven. I held his lil' paw as he was finally at peace."

First Brutus, now Hobbs can't comprehend exactly how busy I am – and that time is my most important currency. #ManOfAction #ManOfGettingThingsDone #ManOfTwoPuppiesWhoCouldCareLess

The Fast & Furious star had only adopted the adorable Brutus and Hobbs three weeks ago, and within hours admitted he had already saved Brutus' life for the first time.

"I set them both down and they both take off in a full sprint and fall right into the deep end of our pool," Dwayne said of his first trip home with the pups.

"Hobbs immediately starts doggy paddling while Brutus (like a brick) sink heads first to the bottom of the pool."

Luckily, the former pro wrester managed to jump in and save his new pet, though sadly Brutus' life came to an end just weeks later.

Of course, Brutus and Hobbs aren't the only new arrivals Dwayne and his girlfriend Lauren Hashian will have to contend with over the next few months.

The couple announced two weeks ago that they were expecting a baby together – a second child for Dwayne who already has a 14-year-old daughter named Simone.

The Rock now spends his time saving the lives of adorable puppies

He may not look like it: but after this weekend Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has confirmed what we already knew, he’s just a big cuddly teddy bear.

The former professional wrestler, now star of Ballers had a very exciting holiday weekend in the U.S.

The 43-year old adopted two French Bulldog puppies and only hours after bringing them home was rescuing them from serious danger.

The action hero took to social media to explain what happened to the adorable pups when he posted a photo of himself and the duo in the pool.

Here's a fun Labor Day weekend story… We just decided to add two new members to our Johnson family. Baby French Bulldogs. In my right hand is BRUTUS and in my left hand is HOBBS. Bring them home and immediately take them outside so they can start learning how to "handle their business and potty like big boys". I set them both down and they both take off in a full sprint and fall right into the deep end of our pool. HOBBS immediately starts doggy paddling while BRUTUS (like a brick) sink heads first to the bottom of the pool. I take off into a full sprint, fully clothed, dive in the pool, swim to the bottom, rescue my brick, I mean BRUTUS and bring him back to the edge of the pool. He was a little delirious.. took a moment, threw up all the water he swallowed and looked up at me as if to say, "Thank God you didn't have to give me mouth to mouth!" and then ran off to play with his brother. A few lessons I've learned today.. A) Not all puppies have the instinct to doggie paddle. B) Some puppies (like BRUTUS) will be so in shock by experiencing water they will sink extremely fast so react quick. C) While spiriting to save your puppies life, before you dive in, try and throw your cel phone to safety. Don't keep it in your pocket… like I did. #BRUTUSLives #HOBBSCanSwim #MyCelPhonesDead #AndNoMouthToMouthNeeded #HappyLaborDay

He introduced the pair as Brutus and Hobbs before explaining what happened that left one of them quite shaken.

“Bring them home and immediately take them outside so they can start learning how to 'handle their business and potty like big boys.' I set them both down and they both take off in a full sprint and fall right into the deep end of our pool.”

He continued that while Hobbs seemed to have already mastered the doggie paddle, poor Brutus did not fare so well.

“Brutus (like a brick) sinks heads first to the bottom of the pool,” he explained how he then took off and dived into the pool to bring the tiny canine back to the surface.

“He was a little delirious, took a moment, threw up all the water he swallowed and looked up at me as if to say, 'Thank God you didn't have to give me mouth to mouth!”

"I will run in this house and pee on all your shoes if you don't stop teasing me with my snack.." #2Dudes

Dwayne then went on to highlight for his fans that not all puppies will take to water easily, so be careful. He also noted that if you’re diving into a pool to save your beloved pooch, make sure you take your phone out of your pockets. Oops.

Pamela Anderson: ‘The Zac Efron Baywatch remake will be AWFUL’

Aug 16, 2015

It's one of the most anticipated reboots of recent years: former Disney star Zac Efron and wrestling legend Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, are teaming up for a big-screen Baywatch movie.

However, it seems not everyone is happy with the project. And that includes the woman who made the show such a huge international success.

Yes, Pamela Anderson, aka CJ Parker, was asked by TMZ what she thought of the remake going ahead, and she candidly replied that the whole thing is simply a BAD idea.

In fact, the now 48-year-old is deeply unhappy that filming is going ahead at all.

"No one appreciates the remakes," the Canadian actress said.

Pam adds that the Nineties was a "simpler, sweeter time" for TV, and that the concept just won't work on the big screen in 2015.

She furthermore confirmed to the website that, despite widespread rumour that she'd be making a cameo, she was never approached by producers in relation to taking on a small role.

Just this week, The Rock, also a producer on the project, told media that the entire Baywatch cast and crew had "all taken great care and steps in making sure that we do it right".

He went on to explain: "We want to make a big movie, a fun movie, a fun beach movie — bring the beach movie back to the world."

Ms Anderson starred in the hit show, which also showcased the talents of David Hasselhoff, from 1992 until 1997.

Get ready ladies: Zac Efron’s new role could NOT be more perfect

In what has to be the best movie news of the year, it has been confirmed that Zac Efron will star in the new Baywatch movie.

Swoon.

The High School Musical star is said to be "stoked" to be starring in the new flick along with wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.

Paramount have been keen to get the 1990's hit TV show remade for years, and now that everything is finalised, production will start in early 2016.

Efron is said to play a rule-flouting youngster who teams up with a straight-laced lifeguard (Jonhson) to save their beach from destruction at the hands of an oil tycoon.

Both actors seem to be pretty excited about the new movie as they bantered on Twitter about it with The Rock joking "someone get my baby oil".

To which Zac replied saying "baby oil for 2 plz".

It's nice to see the new co-stars getting along so well.

Meanwhile, the High School Musical hunk has been extremely busy having just finished filming for Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates with Adam Devine, Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza, as well as working with Robert De Niro on road trip comedy Dirty Grandpa.

A Baywatch movie is in the pipeline… you’ll never guess the star!

Stop everything. There is going to be a Baywatch film… finally!

The project has apparently been in the works for years with lots of different writers coming on and off board, but it seems things have finally gotten off the ground.

So will the Hoff and Pamela Anderson be re-joining the crew as Mitch and CJ? We hope so, but for now the only confirmed cast member is Dwayne Johson, a.k.a. The Rock, who will take the lead as a hunky lifeguard captain. A strange choice – though he won't look out of place strutting his stuff in those red shorts!

Although the original Baywatch was officially a "drama," the film will be more of a comedy. We can't wait to see how many criminals, natural disasters, drownings, affairs and orphaned runaways they fit into the plot!

Whatever happens, we'll be happy as long as the movie keeps the EPIC theme tune. All together now, "Some people staaand in the darkness…."
