Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is the second highest-paid actor in the world: He earned a grand total of $65 million in 2017. But he doesn’t take success for granted. While back in his home state of Hawaii to film an upcoming movie, Disney’s “Jungle Cruise,” Johnson spent Sunday, his day off, reflecting on the troubles he faced growing up. “A lot of you guys know I grew up here in Hawaii with my family where we struggled, man, like a lot of you guys out there struggle to pay the rent, hustled, doing everything we could to get by,” Johnson says in a video he posted on Instagram. “You know, this life here, this was never my dream. My dream was that I just didn’t want to be evicted anymore.”

The Rocky IV admitted the childhood secret behind his hardman image when he
popped in for a live webchat in The Sun studio.

He said: “My dad was in the military, he was an officer.

“He was a nice guy but kind of violent. When I was a kid he took a lot of
stuff out of me and what happens is that a lot of those kids end up as in
boxing, rugby, karate, because you need to get that out of your system.

“That’s why I did it. I didn’t realise that at the time but looking back,
that’s why I did ended up in movies because that’s another way to express
what’s going on, to get it out.”

The 55-year-old muscleman followed in the footsteps of Expendables co-star Dolph
Lundgren as he was quizzed by fans at Sun HQ to celebrate the
release of his new movie Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning.

Walter Bruce Willis was born on March 19, 1955, in Idar-Oberstein, West Germany, to a German mother, Marlene K. (from Kassel), and an American father, David Andrew Willis (from Carneys Point, New Jersey), who were then living on a United States military base. His family moved to the U.S. shortly after he was born, and he was raised in Penns Grove, New Jersey, where his mother worked at a bank and his father was a welder and factory worker. Willis picked up an interest for the dramatic arts in high school, and was allegedly “discovered” whilst working in a café in New York City and then appeared in a couple of off-Broadway productions. While bartending one night, he was seen by a casting director who liked his personality and needed a bartender for a small movie role. After countless auditions, Willis contributed minor film appearances, usually uncredited, before landing the role of private eye “David Addison” alongside sultry Cybill Shepherd in the hit romantic comedy television series Moonlighting (1985). The series firmly established Bruce Willis as a hot new talent, and his sarcastic and wisecracking P.I. was in effect a dry run for the role of hard-boiled NYC detective “John McClane” in the monster hit Trappola di cristallo (1988). This superbly paced action film balanced laconic humor and wholesale destruction as Willis’ character single handedly battles a gang of ruthless international thieves in a Los Angeles skyscraper. Willis reprized the role of tough guy cop “John McClane” in the eagerly anticipated sequel 58 minuti per morire - Die Harder (1990) set at snowbound Washington’s Dulles International Airport as a group of renegade Special Forces soldiers seek to repatriate a corrupt South American general. Excellent box office returns demanded a further sequel Die Hard - Duri a morire (1995) this time also starring Samuel L. Jackson as a cynical Harlem shopowner unwittingly thrust into assisting McClane during a terrorist bombing campaign on a sweltering day in NYC

Jean-Claude Van Damme made his name in the early ’80s and early ’90s by starring in a series of action hits that made him look like a real tough guy, but he really proved that strength in the years that followed, persisting through direct-to-DVD purgatory after the genre started to fade at the box office. It’s paid off with an unlikely second act for the Muscles from Brussels, who’s seen his profile rebound over the last decade while turning in some of his most critically well-received work. Limber up and oil those pecs, film fans — it’s time for Total Recall!  

 Sylvester Stallone rubbished the rumours of his death with a couple of tweets and a funny Instagram post featuring himself and his two daughters. On Tuesday, the Rambo star posted a screenshot of the report that rocked the Internet on social media and captioned it: “Please ignore this stupidity. ”(I’m) alive and well and happy and healthy. Still punching.“ Earlier, a Facebook post suggesting that Sylvester Stallone died after battling prostate cancer went viral.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has ruled out a run for the US Senate, in response to widespread speculation that the actor would return to political life to take on Donald Trump. Schwarzenegger, who was governor of California from 2003 to 2011, had been tipped by political insiders to enter the 2018 race for the US Senate, either as a Republican or an independent, in a move that would have given him a public platform to oppose Trump’s presidency. However, Schwarzenegger refuted the rumours in a Facebook post published on Sunday, suggesting instead that he would continue his battle against political gerrymandering. Schwarzenegger has long been a vocal critic of Trump, supporting Trump’s opponent John Kasich in the Republican primaries and later announcing that he wouldn’t vote for Trump as president, following the release of a widely condemned recording in which Trump boasted about groping women. It was the first time that Schwarzenegger had not voted for a Republican candidate for president since he became a US citizen in 1983. A Twitter feud between the pair has intensified in the weeks following Trump’s swearing in as president. Trump mocked the ratings of his successor as host of The Celebrity Apprentice, at the National Prayer Breakfast in February, and Schwarzenegger suggested in response that the two men should swap jobs, so that “people can finally sleep comfortably again”.
