“Jazzy, let daddy tell you his goals,” the Rock wrote in a sweet post to his baby girl, Jasmine. “By 5, you’ll be looking people in the eye when you firmly shake their hand. By 8, you’ll know how to fish, drive daddy’s pick up truck and do cardio. And by 10, you’ll be able to directly say to people, ‘Great job, I like it a lot, but let’s see how we can make it better.’” (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)

The star of the upcoming Baywatch remake was once a real-life lifeguard! He saved his pup Brutus from drowning in his backyard swimming pool. Sadly, Brutus died in September 2015 after eating a poisonous mushroom. (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)

When he’s at the farm he owns in Virginia, the Rock tries to avoid photo ops on his trips to the gym and even politely turns people away. (He’s in the process of building his own gym on his property just to avoid this.) And yet, he couldn’t stop himself from pulling over — though he was “cussing” at himself all the way — for some women flagging him down on the road. “I drive away feeling like the luckiest SOB on the planet to meet such amazing fans. This kinda stuff will always be the best part of fame,” he shared. (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)

Have we mentioned the Rock will do pretty much anything for his daughter? He dressed as Pokémon character Pikachu on Easter, months after dressing as the animated character the first time. Unfortunately for him, Jasmine wanted him to chase her… over and over. “I’m tired, today’s my only day off, it’s 118 degrees in this costume and Hobbs [the dog] keep trying to p*ss on my leg,” he captioned this snapshot. “And I luv every minute of it. Bring it on. It’s what daddy’s do.” (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)

More than once, the buff leading man has reached out to a fan struggling with cancer. That was the case in late 2015, when he bonded over the phone with a fan a friend told him about who was fighting cancer. The Rock went much further than just saying hello; he spoke with Matt Klutka about movies, fatherhood, and fitness. He also shared a recap of their call: “I hung up the phone a grateful man and knew how blessed I was to hear his voice.” (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)

The Rock was a co-star and friend of the late Paul Walker. When Meadow Walker, Paul’s daughter, launched a foundation in honor of Paul two years after his death, the Rock publicly congratulated her. “We’ve never spent a lot of time together honey, but I want you to know that every time me and your dad were together over the years, we’d ALWAYS talk about you and my daughter Simone,” he wrote. “Your father’s beyond proud of you. So am I.” (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)

The Rock famously eats a lot of clean food, because he needs to fuel all those muscles! But he’s kind enough to pull through the drive-through when his passengers request it, as he did to the delight of the window workers at an In-N-Out Burger in February. Of course, he posted a thank you note to the staff. (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)

Anytime family is involved, the Rock is mush. “Joys of Thanksgiving. House full of babies and they all want to play drums on Uncle DJ’s head,” he captioned it. “Thanks for the drool kid.” LOL! (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)

The Rock showed more love for his family and specifically his mother, Ata Johnson, when he gave her some new wheels. “#TBT Surprising my mom with a new car for Christmas. Couldn’t remember what her favorite color was between white or red, so I went with white,” he wrote. It doesn’t look like she would have cared either way! (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)

The action star isn’t afraid to show his affection for little ones — and not just his own. “Every night after work there’s fans waitin’ for me, but this night was SPECIAL,” he wrote. “I wrapped my #Jumanji shoot a little after midnight and I see all these lovely mamas and their babies waitin’. Even met a lil’ beauty who was just 6 weeks old.” (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)

Perhaps the one thing that makes the Rock’s heart melt as much as his daughters (he has a 1-year-old and a teenager, Simone) are other people’s children. A few years ago he pulled over on the side of the road when he was confronted with these elated young fans. He totally made their Christmas that year! (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)

When Johnson revealed that he and his wife, Lauren Hashian, were expecting a baby — a baby girl, in fact — he didn’t even try to play it cool. He was gushy and gooey and, well, genuinely happy. “I was raised by and live with amazing and strong women, so the universe felt we needed one more… IT’S A BABY GIRL!!” Aww! (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)

“Kinda crazy but in this cool and powerful skin to skin bonding moment with my newborn baby Jasmine, I had just one wish I asked the universe,” he tagged Jasmine’s social media debut. “Give me the strength to be a better man today than I was yesterday. If I can accomplish that, then I’d have a good shot at being a great father.” Hallmark could not have said it better. (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)

While we imagine the world’s highest-paid actor, according to Forbes, is fierce in a business meeting, he’ll do anything for his girls. “Sunday morning pancakes for all the ladies of the house,” he explained of a pic that shows him hard at work in the kitchen. (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)

The work never stops for such a big movie star, but he’s willing to fit in time with Jazzy whenever he can. Sometimes that means working with her by his side, and the star obviously enjoys it! (Photo: The Rock via Instagram)
