Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is widely referred to as The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment for some very interesting and undeniable reasons. Dwayne Johnson first appeared in WWE as Rocky Maivia back in 1996. From then on, he has not looked back, as he became one of the best entertainers in WWE history.
Impeccable in the ring and unparalleled on the mic, The Rock was widely seen as the face of the company and won 8 WWE Championship reigns. The number would be much higher had his success in movies not pulled the WWE Superstar away from wrestling.
The Rock went into the acting business full-time and ended up becoming one of the most successful men to have ever walked into Hollywood.
Overall, the WWE Superstar has several great accomplishments to his name, along with a few interesting Guinness World records. In this article, we will look at the 5 incredible non-WWE related Guinness World Records The Brahma Bull has held, even though a couple were later broken.
#5 The Rock holds the Guinness World Record for the most selfies in 3 minutes
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is arguably one of the most photogenic person to have ever stepped foot in a WWE ring. This has been proven by the fact that he has become a huge hit in Hollywood and continues to be one of the biggest draws in the film world.
To promote one of his action thrillers titled San Andreas, The Rock decided to aim for a Guinness World Record at the film’s premiere in London in May 2015. He took the most self-portrait photographs (selfies) in three minutes to set a new Wolrd Record.
According to the Guinness World Records website, several selfies were disqualified but Johnson still managed to set the record.
“Using his smartphone camera, Dwayne snapped photographs of himself alongside fans who lined up to be a part of the exciting record attempt. Guinness World Records adjudicator Mark McKinley ensured that selfie rules were followed, with requirements including the full face and neck of participants being viewable and that the images were focused, with recognisable faces and no blurring. Several selfies were disqualified, but a total of 105 were accepted to achieve the record title.”
The record was broken in 2018 by James Smith.
#4 Guinness World Record for the highest salary for a first-time leading man
As many of you would know, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was a household name thanks to WWE long before he even hit the silver screen. However, once he made his way to Hollywood, his career and life changed forever as he took in the industry by storm.
In 2001, he made his motion picture debut with a role in The Mummy Returns. The movie shattered records and broke a two-year record for the high-grossing single day in film history by earning $28,594,667.
The Rock made a huge impact in his first lead role
A spin-off was created with The Rock starring in his first lead role as The Scorpion King. He received a massive $5.5 million for playing the role.
The sum earned him the Guinness World Record for the highest-paid actor in their first leading role. This paved way for more fortunes for the former WWE Superstar who showed that his talent was not just restricted to the WWE ring.
#3 Guinness World Record for the highest-paid actor
After playing The Scorpion King on the big screen, The Rock received several top roles in movies such as Gridiron Gang, Get Smart, and The Tooth Fairy.
However, as years progressed, he played action-oriented roles which turned out to be a good decision as he received a huge fan following. The Rock joined The Fast and the Furious franchise, and also starred in movies such as San Andreas, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and Jumanji.
Fame and fortune have followed The Rock wherever he's gone
In 2016 Johnson was once again named in the Guinness World Record books as the highest-paid actor between June 1, 2015, and June 1, 2016. According to the Guinness World Records website:
“Wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson (USA, aka “The Rock”) earned an estimated $64.5 m (£44.1 m). San Andreas (USA, 2015) and Disney’s Moana (USA, 2016) are two of the movies to which he lent his talents in that period.”
The Rock went on to beat his own record in 2017 as he earned $124 million from June 2017 to June 2018, nearly double the earnings he posted in the 2017 list.
#2 Guinness World Record for the world’s largest seven-layered dip
Let’s jump out of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s never-ending list of acting-related accomplishments and dive into his other achievements.
In February 2017, with the help of Seven Bucks Digital Studios, The Rock - literally - set his biggest record possible by preparing a 540 pounds colossal layered dip just in time for Super Bowl Sunday!
This record by The Rock surprised everyone
Even the Guinness World Records’ official website believed that WWE Superstar The Rock outdid himself with this record!
"With the help of Seven Bucks Digital Studios, co-founded by The Rock and his manager and production partner Dany Garcia, Guinness World Records can officially confirm they have achieved the record for the Largest layered dip, weighing in at colossal 540 pounds! Taking over 5 hours and 4 people to prep and construct, the massive version of a classic 7 Layer Fiesta Dip was prepared in a 100 gallon fish tank at Seven Bucks Digital Studios in Los Angeles, California.”
Once the record was confirmed, the good samaritan and his team donated the record-setting dip to the Midnight Mission Homeless Shelter in Los Angeles, California.
153.6 pounds of refried beans, 76.8 quarts sour cream with 9.6 pounds of seasoning mixed in, 76.8 pounds of cheese, 38.4 quarts of guacamole, 38.4 quarts tomatoes, 19.2 quarts green onions, and 37.2 quarts of black olives went into the creation of the colossal dip!
#1 Guinness World Record for the most cereal boxes toppled in a domino fashion
If you thought Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Guinness World Record for the largest seven-layered dip was bizarre, wait till you read this one!
In 2017, The Rock decided to set yet another crazy record with the help of his digital studio, Seven Bucks Digital Studios.
A total of 3000 cereal boxes were used in this record attempt as the WWE Superstar and his team set out to set the record for the most cereal boxes toppled in a domino fashion.
The Rock loves to have some fun
“Dwanta Claus is comiiiiiing to town...” the actor and professional wrestler wrote on Facebook, where his event was broadcast live on Tuesday. “With four Guinness World Records under my belt, I thought it was about time to go for number FIVE.”
The Rock decided to break the record set by two 17-year-olds a day before his attempt, and beat them by 20 boxes! The final tally saw The Rock and his team managing to topple 3,006 boxes during their record-setting attempt and make it to the record books once again!
The record was broken by the students and staff at H. Frank Carey High School (USA) in Franklin Square, New York, in December 2017.
This marked the fifth Guinness World Record that was awarded to The Rock, and he currently has three unbroken Guiness World Records to his name.
