First personChloe Grace Moretz
Her Biography Chloe Grace Moretz was born on February 10, 1997, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, to Teri and McCoy Moretz. She has four brothers: Ethan, Trevor, Collin and Brandon.
Chloe Grace Moretz is an American actress and model known for movies such as ‘The Poker House,’ ‘Kick-Ass,’ and ‘If I Stay.’ Venturing into Hollywood as a child actor, she proved her mettle quite early on with her role in the movie ‘The Amityville Horror’ which led her to be nominated for a major award. Even though she was just seven when she started acting, she earned much praise for her acting skills and determination. She played a very challenging role in the action film ‘Kick-Ass’ for which she trained hard for three months with Jackie Chan's stunt crew. The young girl even insisted on performing her stunts herself! After establishing herself as a child actor, she looked forward to do more acting roles as a teenager. Unlike several other child stars whose careers fizzle out as they reach their teens, Chloe went on to develop a successful acting career as a young adult as well. She gained much appreciation for her poignant role as Mia in the teen romantic drama ‘If I Stay’ in 2014. The actress is also a well-known model and has modeled for publications such as ‘Vogue,’ ‘Marie Claire,’ and ‘Elle.’

His
Biography

Dwayne Douglas Johnson, also known as The Rock, was born on May 2, 1972 in Hayward, California. He is the son of Ata Johnson (born Feagaimaleata Fitisemanu Maivia) and professional wrestler Rocky Johnson (born Wayde Douglas Bowles). His father, from Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada, is black (of Black Nova Scotian descent), and his mother is of Samoan background (her own father was Peter Fanene Maivia, also a professional wrestler). While growing up, Dwayne traveled around a lot with his parents and watched his father perform in the ring. During his high school years, Dwayne began playing football and he soon received a full scholarship from the University of Miami, where he had tremendous success as a football player. In 1995, Dwayne suffered a back injury which cost him a place in the NFL. He then signed a three-year deal with the Canadian League but left after a year to pursue a career in wrestling.

He made his wrestling debut in the USWA under the name Flex Kavanah where he won the tag team championship with Brett Sawyer. In 1996, Dwayne joined the WWE and became Rocky Maivia where he joined a group known as “The Nation of Domination” and turned heel. Rocky eventually took over leadership of the “Nation” and began taking the persona of The Rock. After the “Nation” split, The Rock joined another elite group of wrestlers known as the “Corporation” and began a memorable feud with Steve Austin. Soon the Rock was kicked out of the “Corporation”. He turned face and became known as “The Peoples Champion”. In 2000, the Rock took time off from WWE to film his appearance in The Mummy Returns (2001). He returned in 2001 during the WCW/ECW invasion where he joined a team of WWE wrestlers at The Scorpion King (2002), a prequel to The Mummy Returns (2001).

Dwayne has a daughter, Simone Alexandra Johnson, born in 2001, with his ex-wife Dany Garcia, and daughters, Jasmine, born in 2015, and Tiana Gia, born in 2018, with his wife, singer and songwriter Lauren Hashian.
