This picture of the ‘The Rock’ at 15 has to be seen to be believed

We repeat, he was 15-year-old in this photo.

Now we all know that each and every one of us struggled with that embarrassing pre-teen stage of our lives.

But we have to take our hats off to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson after seeing this #tbt photo of his 15-year-old self.

We repeat, he was 15 years old in this photo.

Captioning the photo, the actor wrote:

"#TBT By the time I was 16 yrs old, I had already enrolled in four high schools across the country due to being evicted and lil’ trouble with the law.

McKinley HS (Honolulu, HI), Glenn Cliff HS (Nashville, TN), McGavock HS (Nashville, TN), Freedom HS (Bethlehem, PA).

I was also 6’4 225lbs, rockin’ a dead caterpillar on my lip (aka the porn ‘stache) and all the kids in every high school thought I was an undercover cop cause I looked like a mutated, yet handsome SOB of a man child.

In Nashville I was already hangin’ out in honey tonk dive bars on Music Row and hustlin’ cars from crackheads.

Yup, one of the many reasons why I’m a grateful man for the life I have today and also grateful I straight up kicked puberty’s ass early in life.

He later tweeted a fan and revealed that he was in fact only 15 years old in the photo.
