Dwayne Johnson wanted to be a country singer

Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson has revealed that he once dreamed of becoming a country singer. The 47-year-old professional wrestler-turned-actor said as a teenager living in Nashville, Tennessee, he used to spend a lot of time on Music Row, which is at the heart of the city’s country music industry “I did have a dream of becoming a country singer. I used to spend a lot of time down on Music Row. I wanted to be a traditional country music singer. ‘Had a decent voice that could carry a tune but I ended up buying a car from a crackhead … that’s a long story … but it is the best thing that never happened to me,’ Johnson said during an Instagram Live over the weekend. The Jumanji: The Next Level star also wanted to play for National Football League (NFL) through the University of Miami, but went undrafted after entering the 1995 draft. (PTI)
