The Rock’s ‘Uncle Tonga’ is “King Haku“, was one of one of the most popular wrestlers of the 70’s. Haku never delighted in super-stardom like his nephew, but was definitely someone others really did not wish to mess with.
Dwayne Johnson began his Hollywood career with a 1999 movie Beyond the Mat, but fired to popularity as a star after his role in The Mummy Returns complied with by The Scorpion King. Called a baddie in the WWE, The Rock was (and also is) a symbol for adults as well as children alike.

This Christmas, Dwayne did something heartwarming for his uncle – ‘Uncle Tonga’ as he calls him – King Haku, who is now retired. Dwayne made a Facebook post to thank his uncle who assisted him when he had, in his words, “nothing”.
He shares the story when he got a phone call from WWE asking him to stand for a “tryout” match as well as how he obtained a purple coloured wrestling trunk from his uncle. Uncle Tonga provided Dwayne a hug and told “I’m so proud of you. Go obtain ’em nephew!”.
Dwayne states “My Uncle Tonga is a family man, humble guy and also champ. Most notably one of the greatest humans I understand.” Dwayne visited his uncle and when they went out of the home, Dwayne aimed a truck and asked “Uncle just how do you like my truck?”, to which uncle responded “Whoooaaa nephew it’s attractive … I enjoy it!” and afterwards The Rock confirmed what he is constructed from!
“Good ’cause it’s yours”, told Dwayne and also they “monster hugged”. He additionally shares a cute collage of his initial match, his uncle King Haku as well as both of them posing in front of the big Christmas present.
