Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Is Revealing Why He Waited Years to Marry Wife Lauren

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is on the cover of WSJ. Magazine December/January issue, out on newsstands on Saturday, December 14th.

Here’s what the 47-year-old actor had to share with the mag…

On if his first marriage not working out caused him to wait over a decade to marry his wife Lauren: “That’s a good question. I think so, yeah. My divorce did a number on me. I wasn’t fearful of getting married again, there was just some hesitancy. But Lauren was incredibly patient: ‘I love you, you love me, we have this amazing life together—no presh.’”

On his top secret wedding: “We had a full security detail in case there were helicopters,” he says. “But there was no press, no paparazzi. No one knew. I was shocked but so grateful. My life is so loud and noisy; the fact that it was quiet was a big win.”


Kevin Hart, on what The Rock is bad at: “He can’t run. It’s not attractive at all. But he doesn’t shy away from it. He’s fine with going, ‘So? I’ve done a lot. These legs are tired.’”
