Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, recently appeared on Willie Geist's podcast and took a stroll down memory lane to share some anecdotes from his childhood days. Did you know during Dwayne Johnson's childhood days, a lot of people that he met often confused him for a "little girl" because of his "soft features"?

For the unversed, the beloved son of late pro wrestler Rocky Johnson moved around a lot as a child and went to 13 different schools before he entered high school. He also narrated a school bus instance to Willie from the first day of fifth grade during their chat. Dwayne said, "I sit down next to a kid, and within 60 seconds, he goes, 'Can I ask you something?'". The Jumanji: The Next Level actor added, "I said, ‘Yeah.’ He goes, ‘Are you a boy or a girl?'".

Meanwhile, in other Dwayne Johnson's latest news, the former wrestler's NBC sitcom Young Rock has been renewed for a second season.
