Dwayne ‘The Rock' Johnson reveals dramatic new look thanks to a special makeover from his daughters

7NEWS6 days ago
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has debuted a dramatic new look following a special makeover.
On Tuesday, the pro-wrestler turned actor shared a video on Instagram of his girls Jasmine, 9, and Tiana, 7, giving him the ultimate beauty treatment.
In the sweet behind-the-scenes footage, the 53-year-old father — who is married to singer/songwriter Lauren Hashian — sits patiently while his daughters plaster his face with blush, eyeshadow and lip gloss.
The footage is set to Simon & Garfunkel's song, The Sound of Silence, and reveals his daughters working their magic.
'I've learned over time that you look back on life's decisions and say ... That was a good idea. That was a great idea. Or… What the %#$@ was I thinking??' Johnson captioned the hilarious footage.
'And it's proving to be a good thing that I have a very large head with A LOT of 'canvas' to use for these little chickens' enjoyment and artistic make-over endeavors.'Our little ones are only little once, so bring it on ladies — daddy is fearless.'
As well as his youngest two girls, Johnson has a third daughter, Simone, 23, from his previous marriage.
While the Hollywood actor often plays masculine, action-hero characters on screen, Johnson isn't afraid to show off his softer side.
The Fast and the Furious star often shares pictures of him spending time with his family and is proud to hold the title of 'ultimate girl-dad'.
Whether it's dance parties in the kitchen, heartfelt birthday tributes or red carpet cuddles, Johnson never shies away from expressing his deep devotion to his family.
'You can be wired, as a lot of fathers are, to fix things,' Johnson told PEOPLE.
'Just having an expanded capacity to listen and be more tender and gentle really gave me that ability to solve whatever the issue is, but with them compared to for them.'
At home, Johnson reveals his youngest two 'are tornadoes and very passionate about how they feel'.
'Lauren and I like raising them in an environment and a culture where there are no limits to life,' Johnson said.
'You can do anything you want, and you can achieve anything you want. However, I need you to be flexible with how we get there.'

Circles of Hair salon boss Sharlene Lee meets Yungblud in Capri, Italy

Prominent Perth salon owner Sharlene Lee has gone viral after sharing a video of her meeting up with UK rockstar Yungblud in Italy. The Circles of Hair owner shared a video on social media that showed her catching up with the global superstar while both happened to be visiting Capri at the same time. The English singer was celebrating his 28th birthday at a lunch next to Lee, but found time to give the popular Subiaco and CBD hair salons a quick shout to Lee's friends and family back home. 'Circles of Hair is the best salon in the f***ing world,' he said in her video shared to TikTok and Instagram. The pair acted in an excited, hyped manner as they both yelled and wooed before Lee said: 'This guy is a legend.' 'You're young blood and I'm old blood,' she played on his stage name. Yungblud's ex Jesse Jo Stark also featured in the video with the former lovers seen leaving in a speedboat together while waving goodbye to Lee. Loading TikTok Post The video has received more than 88,000 views on TikTok, with people taking to the comments with mixed reactions about the clip. Some viewers called out Lee for 'outing' Yungblud and Jesse. 'The way this lady just unintentionally outted him and Jesse Jo when they've been keeping everything private and lowkey,' one person said. Another person said: 'Was he with Jessie Jo???? I can't believe it!!!!' The couple, who had been together since mid-2021, recently took a break from each other but have been seen together since the split, including at Bludfest and on holidays. Other TikTok viewers took issue with the fact that he looked 'uncomfortable' around Lee and 'hated' the interaction. 'You can see the exact moment he dissociates,' one person said. Another person said: 'He hated every second of that.' 'Maybe I'm seeing it wrong idk but he looks a little uncomfortable,' a third person added. 'He didn't enjoy that,' someone else said. However, Lee replied: 'He did and you have no clue what we were talking about at lunch.' Lee, who's known for her energetic and outgoing personality, was last year labelled the 'world's best boss' after lending her staff money for a boob job, a new car or help with a mortgage. She shared how she racked up more than $300,000 on her American Express card in April after splurging on her employees by helping them with costly payments. And last month Circles of Hair was forced to defend its work after a client claimed to have received 'diabolical' results at her hair appointment.

From BookTok to New York Times bestseller: How Aussie teacher defied the odds

Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here She'd spent the last few years working part-time while pursuing a writing career that had landed her on bestseller lists around the world. Passionate about education as well as authoring, she worked hard to juggle both careers. That ended in early 2025. Once a primary school teacher, now you can find Stacey McEwan's name on bestseller lists around the world. (Stacey McEwan/Facebook) "Due to the critical teacher shortage , I was told 'you either need to come back to teaching full time or you need to quit,'" McEwan told "So I quit the department altogether, and just went full throttle on authoring." Have you got a story? Contact reporter Maddison Leach at mleach@ Fortunately, her latest release A Forbidden Alchemy released to rave reviews in July and even earned a spot on the New York Times bestseller list. But McEwan is painfully aware that her success (and income) as an author is not guaranteed, even with one of the most powerful online communities behind her. Born and raised on the Gold Coast, McEwan spent 11 years in the classroom. She wrote fantasy novels on the side and tried getting a few published but was rejected again and again. "I didn't really know what I was doing," she admitted. McEwan spent years writing books and being rejected by publishers before her debut novel was picked up/ (Instagram/@staceymcewanbooks) The Australian publishing industry is highly competitive and the odds of a debut author's unsolicited submission actually being purchased for publication are low. Knowing that, McEwan focused on teaching until the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Like millions of Aussies, she downloaded TikTok as a way to pass the time during lockdown and was immediately sucked into BookTok, the app's reading community. There she racked up thousands of followers "almost overnight". It was her husband who suggested she leverage that budding internet fame to self-publish her first novel, a fantasy book she'd already written. Instead, British-based publisher Angry Robot "swept in" and offered to buy it. McEwan planned to self-publish her first novel, Ledge, until a publisher "swept in" and offered her a book deal. (Stacey McEwan/Facebook) McEwan signed her first book deal and published her debut fantasy novel, Ledge , in 2021. Two sequels followed in 2023 and 2024. The Aussie mum of two admits she owes a lot of her initial success to TikTok and timing. "I'm not too proud to say that if I hadn't have put my idiot face online, that this wouldn't be happening right now," she said. There's no doubt the Angry Robot book deal was influenced by her BookTok popularity and the fact that she was pushing a romantasy (romance and fantasy) novel right as the genre was exploding. And romantasy is its hottest subgenre right now. "It was really just a case of perfect timing," McEwan said. Her first three novels became bestsellers, boosting her social profile even more. But in the age of online hate mobs and celebrity 'cancellations', being a big deal on social media doesn't always have a happy ending. All it takes is one move – legitimate, or perceived – for an author to get 'cancelled' these days. It can make the career feel precarious, especially for breakout authors like McEwan who owe so much of their fame to online popularity. McEwan signed her first book deal during the pandemic and is now a bestselling author. (Instagram/@staceymcewanbooks) "Being of any kind of public figure on social media feels a lot like putting your head on a chopping block and just hoping that no one swings the blade," she said. "It's the wild, wild west out there and one certainly does have to be careful." It's up to most authors to run their own social media accounts, promoting their books and interacting with fans while also making sure they don't say or do the wrong thing. Because being 'cancelled' can tank book sales and slash an author's income in an instant and most don't have huge advances or established fortunes to fall back on. "I got an advance for [my first book], but it was a small amount and it certainly wasn't anything that was going to set me up for the future," McEwan said. "I really had to rely on how well the book was going to sell." Back then she had her teaching career to fall back on but that's gone now. While she was still teaching part-time, McEwan landed a global deal with publishing powerhouse Simon & Schuster for her next duology. The advance alone was enough to finance her for a year, so she took unpaid leave from teaching to write A Forbidden Alchemy. The novel follows Nina Harrow and Patrick Colson, childhood friends who find themselves on opposite sides of a war fuelled by class inequality. "I like the idea of the lower classes questioning why it is that they must remain so," McEwan said. McEwan took unpaid leave from teaching to write A Forbidden Alchemy. (Simon & Schuster) Months before it hit shelves, McEwan was told she had to go back to teaching full-time or quit altogether. She chose the latter and so far, it's been the right choice. McEwan just returned from the very successful US leg of her A Forbidden Alchemy book tour and you can walk into bookstores all over Australia and find her name staring back at you from the 'bestseller' shelves. "I have a lot of people that I went to school with, that I used to work with, past teachers, students, [and] employers going, 'what's happening?'" McEwan said. "'Is this you, or is this just someone with your name?' ... those reactions only fuel me."

Ana de Armas 'is ready to work with Tom Cruise'

Ana de Armas "loves spending time" with Tom Cruise. The 37-year-old actress was recently spotted in Vermont - where she owns a property - with her co-star, and Ana relished spending some quality time with Tom, 63. A source told People: "She loves spending time with Tom." Ana and Tom are working together on Deeper, an upcoming supernatural ocean thriller film, and they've both been preparing for the project in recent weeks. The insider explained: "Now, they are still very focused on kicking off their new project together. It's a very important project for both of them. They'll have an intense shooting schedule, but they are ready." Ana is also excited to work with the Hollywood icon for the first time in her career. The source added: "It's her first time working with Tom and she wants to bring her best. "She knows Tom has high standards on set, but she's ready for the challenge." Meanwhile, Zoe Zilian, the owner of Au Comptoir in Woodstock, in Vermont, recently revealed that Ana "blends right in beautifully" with the locals. The actress actually enjoys living in the small town, away from the bright lights of Hollywood. Zoe told Us Weekly: "I think it's a great town here for her to be in. "Funny enough, I think as big of a celebrity she is, there's a lot of people here that are just kind of out of the know, and they're not really, I guess, so much wrapped up in that." Zoe observed that Ana is surprisingly low-key, given her level of fame and success. She shared: "You wouldn't even think that she was a celebrity. "You just think she's just like any other customer, and she blends right in beautifully, and a lovely human being. She's been so nice, always. I always have great conversations with her and it's very just, [she's] treated like she's just another visitor, another guest in the town. It's kind of like how we like to treat all of our customers anyway, just with great hospitality and just like everyone equally."
