The wrestler "the rock"....we're watching a movie and we were just wondering what his ethnic background is. The only website I found said multiracial but that's obvious lol I wanted specifics.

"The Rock has spoken proudly and often of his Samoan/African American background....the Rock has also credited his childhood in Hawai'i's multi-ethnic cultural stew for having a significant influence on his adult values."
From a Hawaiian newspaper article, reporting on the Rock's starring role as King Kamehameha.

He is Samoan. I'm related to him. His dad and my grandpa are cousins.
I found out that I was related to him when he turned up to a family Christmas celebration about 7 years ago. He's really cool and very down to earth, and very big. His wife, Dany is very nice.
