Dwayne Johnson has always been open about how much his daughters mean to him. On the red carpet at the Moana premiere this week, he showed it.
The Rock arrived with all three of his girls — Simone, 23, and his two younger daughters with wife Lauren Hashian, Jasmine, 8, and Tiana, 6. For a man whose schedule runs at a pace most people cannot keep up with, clearing the calendar for all three daughters at once was a statement in itself.
Simone, his eldest daughter from his first marriage, has been carving out her own path in the spotlight — following her father into WWE where she made her professional debut. Standing alongside her younger sisters on one of Hollywood's biggest red carpets, the three of them together made for a moment that fans have rarely seen.
The Rock has spoken in interviews about the deliberate effort it takes to be present as a father given the demands of his career. Film sets, press tours, business commitments — the schedule of one of Hollywood's highest earning stars does not leave much room. Which is exactly why a moment like this one lands the way it does.
Jasmine and Tiana, still young enough to find a red carpet genuinely exciting, were photographed taking in the whole experience alongside their father — who, for the evening at least, was not The Rock. He was just dad.
Three daughters. One premiere. A family moment worth showing up for.
