Dwayne Johnson beams with pride as daughter honours Polynesian culture
Mumbai: Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson expressed pride in his daughter Jazzy and the dancers of Nonosina as they honoured Polynesian culture through their graceful storytelling movements in front of an audience of 33,000.
Calling himself a proud father and “Uncle Rock” to the young performers, the actor took to Instagram and encouraged them to remain humble, hungry and keep reaching for more.
Johnson wrote: “Very proud of my daughter, Jazzy and all of our @nonosina1965 dancers, upholding and honoring our Polynesian culture with their beautiful, and GRACEFUL storytelling movements at the @rosebowlstadium in front of 33,000 strong.
“The art is in our dance. The love is in our mana. Clearly I’m a very proud faced papa and “uncle Rock” to all these young ones – keep reaching for more, humble, hungry and every step along the way matters.”
He concluded: “Shout to @uclaathletics + @uclafootball for all the love – and stay undefeated and shout to the core lady bosses @tiana_nonosina @kay.faam @laurenhashianofficial for making it all happen with love, pride, discipline x Uncle Rock cheehooo.”
