Dwayne Johnson Shares First Teaser for Biographical Show ‘Young Rock’

Actor Dwayne Johnson has shared the release date and first official teaser for ‘Young Rock’an NBC sitcom that chronicles his journey to becoming a Hollywood A-lister.

The first look begins with a series of Johnson’s action scenes, while a narrator says, “Every hero has an origin story, but not a full mustache at age 15. It’s The Rock’s true-life story, from then to now.”

We then see three actors portraying Johnson at different ages: Adrian Groulx as 10-year-old Johnson, Bradley Constant as 15-year-old  Johnson, and Uli Latukefu as college-aged Johnson.

The 48-year-old action star dropped the teaser one day after the first anniversary of his father’s death. He acknowledged the family’s loss in a message accompanying the first look.

“… I really wish my dad was around to see this one. Maaaaan he would’ve been proud,” he wrote. “And yes, I was clearly kicking puberty’s ass at 15yrs old and becoming a tequila tycoon by the time I was 10. I can’t wait to make you and your families laugh a little and share some life lessons I’ve learned along the way.”

‘Young Rock’-  created and executive produced by Nahnatchka Khan of Fresh Off the Boat fame, premieres Feb. 16 on NBC.
