WWE Icon The Rock Inducted as Disney Legend at D23, Top Videos and Photos from Ceremony

Disney honored Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at D23, officially adding him to the list of Disney Legends.

Emily Blunt, who starred alongside Johnson in Jungle Cruise and The Smashing Machine, introduced him at Sunday's ceremony:

"When I first met Dwayne Johnson, I had assumed wrongly that he would have the energy of a man who was a sort of walking suplex," Blunt said, per Variety's Jazz Tangcay and Angelique Jackson. "But the bravado of The Rock was actually nowhere to be seen. The Rock is in fact a performance. It's the performance of a lifetime. What I was met with was someone who was so disarmingly wise, gentle, curious, totally unpretentious."

Johnson took time during his speech to have the live crowd serenade his daughter, Simone, with a rendition of "Happy Birthday":

Well before his acting career took off, Johnson recalled taking Simone to Disneyland and witnessing for himself the significance of the setting.

"I was in my 20s … I was trying to figure that stuff out at that time: how I was going to be a father, how I was going to be a husband, man, etc.," he said. "But I remember one of the princesses said, 'Close your eyes and make a wish.' And I'll never forget, [Simone] closed her eyes and she made a wish.

"I just remember that moment on my daughter's face. I had never seen that before. She was just so into making a wish. … I said, 'God, I wonder what was going through the little mind.' And it's just experiences like that that we create that I know she'll never forget. I'll never forget. That's the beauty of Disney. That's the beauty also of being a Disney Legend."

The WWE legend has built a sizable Disney profile through the years.

Johnson starred in The Game Plan and Race to Witch Mountain, which were before he established himself as one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. He most famously played "Maui" in the Moana franchise, of which there have been three installments. Jungle Cruise, meanwhile, is based on a ride of the same name at Disney's theme parks.
