This week, he received the honorary and coveted title of People’s Sexiest Man Alive, but Dwayne Johnson says the real honour is being a father to his daughters.
The buff actor appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday, November 15, where he opened up about his two darling girls – Simone, 15, and 11-month-old bub Jasmine.
“It’s the greatest blessing just being a dad,” the Fast & Furious alum told the host as an adorable clip of baby Jasmine hitting her dad’s head played for the audience.
“That’s one of her favourite games – drumming on Daddy’s head!” he explained. “It’s what she loves to do.”
He added, “I’m teaching her very bad habits.”

The world’s highest-paid actor may be one of Hollywood’s most in-demand stars, but he admits that the role of ‘family man’ is his absolute favourite to play, with Jasmine’s bathtime his favourite scene.
“It’s my job, and I love filling up the baby tub and I get her toys, making everything right,” the doting dad says to People.
He then added: “And then I say my thing, ‘All right, Daddy’s ready!’ And in she comes, and she’s kicking and she’s so happy. I own being the daddy. I love it.”
The former professional wrestler shares his youngest daughter with long-time partner Lauren Hashian; he co-parents teenager Simone with ex Dany Garcia.
Speaking of his adoration for his pride and joy’s mother, Dwayne said that “watching Lauren be a mum has been one of the most enlightening things I’ve ever seen”.
“As a man, you see your lady, your partner, your woman, your one, you see them in a certain light, and then when they become Mum, it’s a whole other perspective that if you open your eyes wide enough, it’s like a kaleidoscope.”

And while he’s typically been dubbed a symbol of the ‘perfect man’, the sex symbol admits that it’s the women in his life who have shaped him.
“I live in a house full of women. I was raised by women and then I have two daughters, it’s just a house full of estrogen,” the 44-year-old explained.
“I’m the only testosterone in the house, so I may make the final decision, but the boss-ness is spread out amongst the girls in my house.”
