Dwayne “The Rock” Johnsoncouldn’t be prouder to be the lone male in a household of women.
During Saturday night’s premiere ofFast & Furious Presents: Hobbs &Shaw, the 47-year-old actor opened up about what it’s like being a dad to three daughters:Tiana Gia, 14 months,Jasmine Lia, 3½, andSimone Alexandra, 17.
“It’s just the best thing … I have a house full of just strong, badass women,” Johnson toldExtraof Tia and Jasmine, his girls with girlfriendLauren Hashian, and Simone, his only child with ex Dany Garcia. “It’s terrifying, but it’s awesome.”
“I grew up an only child,” he continued. “My dad was tough. He kicked my ass, so there was a lot of testosterone growing up. So there is this balance —having all this estrogenic energy— then also me having the opportunity to infuse ‘father’ and hopefully setting a standard of what a man should be in their lives.”
Ahead of Tiana’s birth in April 2018, Johnson revealed that he was excited to welcome a third child, joking about his “strong swimmers” toJimmy Kimmel.
Johnson revealed on Instagram in December that he was enjoying being able to cherish special moments with his two youngest children,captioning a sweet Christmas snapshotwith his two youngest girls, “I ain’t gonna be able to hold ’em like this forever, so you better believe I snatch these cookies and love ’em up every moment I can.”

At the premiere of his new action flick on Saturday, Johnson told reporters he believed it was the right time because “the fans wanted it” and because of “the chemistry that has blossomed between me and [costarJason Statham].”
“And on a personal scale, this movie is deeply personal to me not only because it is a character that I have loved playing and creating over the years in Hobbs, but this is also one of the very first times that I could showcase one of my cultures,” he continued.
“Iam half black and half Samoan, so to showcase one of my cultures on a massive scale like this, inHobbs & Shaw …one of the anchoring elements of these movies is family. So for me to be able to cast my real cousin, Roman Reigns, [is meaningful].”
