Dwayne Johnson has confirmed who would play his younger version in his comedy series 'Young Rock.'
Young Rock will chronicle Johnson's formative years, with the actor and ex-WWE star set to appear in each episode. It received a straight-to-series order in January.
Adrian Groulx will play the 10-year-old Dwayne (described as honest, headstrong, impressionable, and bold), Bradley Constant to play him aged 15 (at which point he is doing his best to fit in like a normal teenager), and "Marco Polo" star Uli Latukefu to play him from the ages of 18 to 20 (when Dwayne has just been recruited to play football on a scholarship at the University of Miami), reported by Variety.
