Your support makes all the difference.Dwayne Johnson has spoken about what it's like to live in a house full of "strong, badass women", describing it as "terrifying, but awesome".
While attending the Los Angeles premiere of his new film Hobbs and Shaw – a spin-off from The Fast and Furious franchise – Johnson opened up about the goings-on of his predominantly female household.
The semi-retired professional wrestler has three daughters – 17-year-old Simone, from his first marriage to entrepreneur Dany García; three-year-old Jasmine and one-year-old Tiana, both of whom he had with his partner of 12 years, singer Lauren Hashian.
When asked about his middle daughter, Jasmine, on the red carpet of the Dolby Theatre, Johnson described her as "so beautiful".
"Her, and Tia, and of course my oldest Simone, they're just – it's the best thing. I have a house full of just strong, badass women," the 47-year-old told extratv.
Johnson then admitted that being the only man in the house is "terrifying, but yet it's awesome".
The actor explained that he had grown up an only child, and that his father had been a strict disciplinarian.
"There was a lot of testosterone with me growing up," the Jumanji star said.
"So this balance of just having all this beautiful oestrogenic energy, but then also me having the opportunity to infuse fatherhood and hopefully setting a standard of what a man should be in their lives."
Last month, Johnson was lauded after delivering a moving speech at the MTV Movie and TV Awards about the obstacles he's faced throughout his career.
"The Rock" stated that during the early stages of his Hollywood career, people "didn't know what the hell to do with me".
"I mean I was a half black, half Samoan, six-foot-four, 275-pound pro wrestler," the producer said.
“I was told at that time you've got to be a certain way, you've got to drop some weight, you've got to be somebody different, you've got to stop working out, stop doing the things that I love, you've got to stop calling yourself 'The Rock'."
In June last year, Johnson received praise for sharing of photograph on Instagram of himself feeding his partner, Lauren, while she nursed their daughter, Tiana.
“So much respect to her and all mamas out there holding it down and running things," he wrote in the caption for the picture.
