Dwayne The Rock Johnson has shared his first comments on being announced for a major Hollywood honor, with the former WWE Champion to receive a top award.
The Rock will receive what Disney describes as the company’s “highest honor” in August, announced as one of the honorees of this year’s Disney Legends Awards.
The Rock has taken to Twitter to comment on being announced as a Disney Legends Award honoree, writing:
I was really moved when I received “the call” as that certain voice on the other line said I would be receiving Disney’s highest honor ~ Disney Legends Award.
This honor recognizes individuals with significant and global impacts on
@Disney. I’m moved. THANK YOU.
I believe in hard work, being grateful, being humble, being good to people, taking care of people, and respecting that the trust they put in you to deliver, is sacred.
And where and when can, always, always, always try and deliver a little joy for folks around the world.

Looking forward to pulling up 🛻 and showing my gratitude in person at the ceremony!
And course saying… YOU’RE WELCOOOOOOME 🎶🪝😉
The Disney Legends Award works in a similar way to WWE’s Hall of Fame, where individuals who have made significant contributions to Disney are celebrated at the annual ceremony, which takes place during the D23 Fan Expo.
The Rock has appeared in a number of Disney movies, including live action film The Game Plan, and Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Moana.
The Rock was the voice actor for Maui in the 2016 animated Moana film, and will play the same role in this summer’s live action version of the movie.
With The Rock joining Disney’s equivalent of the Hall of Fame, there has been some speculation about when Johnson will be honored by WWE.
Mark Henry has commented on the possibility of The Rock receiving a nomination by himself, as well as with the Nation of Domination, click here to read more.
