The
44-year-old
wrestler
turned
actor
Dwayne
Johnson,
might
just
have
achieved
the
prestigious
title
of
Sexiest
Man
Alive
bestowed
upon
by
the
People
magazine
earlier
this
week,
but
the
man
himself
says
he
was
the
most
awkward
looking
teenager
in
his
earlier
days.
Dwayne
Johnson
aka
the
Rock
says,
he
had
never
considered
himself
attractive,
and
particularly
at
the
time
when
he
had
acne
all
over
his
face.
"I
had
an
awkward
phase
when
I
was
13,
14-years-old.
I
was
trying
to
find
my
identity
and
trying
to
settle
into
my
identity," said
Johnson.
Johnson
also
added
that
he
had
a
peculiar
fascination
for
sweets
even
though
he
was
allergic
to
it..
"I
loved
sweets.
Every
day
after
school
I
would
go
get
doughnuts
and
I
would
go
get
cookies.
I
have
an
adverse
reaction
to
sugar
and
chocolate,
where
I
would
break
out
in
all
these
pimples.
You
could
just
imagine
that,
with
my
curly
half-Afro," the
Rock
added.
"Being
comfortable
in
my
own
skin
just
took
a
lot
of
time," he
continued.
"When
you
finally
are
comfortable
with
who
you
are,
warts
and
all,
it
really
allows
for
a
greater
confidence
in
life.
Being
comfortable
with
who
I
am
was
probably
one
of
the
greatest
and
best
breakthroughs
that
I've
ever
had
in
my
life,"
said
Johnson.
