Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made the London premiere of his latest film a family affair. On Wednesday, he walked the red carpet with his daughter Simone to celebrate the release of A24’s The Smashing Machine.
The Rock selected a navy suit, which he paired with a striped shirt and rimless frames. The 24-year-old, meanwhile, modeled a strapless black gown with floral appliqués, adding on platforms and a choker for a gothic twist.

The Moana actor shares his eldest child, who has followed in her father’s footsteps as a WWE star, with his ex-wife Dany Garcia. He was married to the former bodybuilder from 1997 to 2008.
Simone made her WWE debut in 2022 under the name Ava Raine. Her great-grandfather, “High Chief” Peter Maivia, was also a pro wrestler.

“It means the world to me,” she said in a statement released by the WWE at the time. “To know that my family has such a personal connection to wrestling is really special to me and I feel grateful to have the opportunity, not only to wrestle but to carry on that legacy.”
The Rock shared that he was “very very proud” of his daughter on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
“First of all, what an honor that my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps but more importantly, follow in my footsteps sounds cliché, but she actually wants to create and blaze her own path, which is so important,” he said.
