Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The Johnson family photo album is a veritable treasure trove, having first thrown up that incredible photo of The Rock wearing a fanny pack in the 90s - an image so popular he ended up having to explain it on Jimmy Fallon - and now a pretty show-stopping snap of him with his WWE Hall of Fame wrestler father “Soulman” Rocky Johnson.

Surfacing in October, the image is doing the rounds again this week, and has now been viewed over one million times on Imgur.

The Rock is dwarfed by his dad in it, looking absolutely charming in a pink suit with red tie and studded collar.

The wrestler-turned-actor was asked on Twitter whether it was real, to which he replied: “100% legit photo of me and my pops. He's lookin' like a straight G and I'm lookin' like a 6yr old girl.”

"My dad was a trailblazing bad dude in the game," Johnson recently said in a Facebook post. "Becoming the first African-American Champion in almost every pro-wrestling organization he wrestled in."

In 2001 The Rock became a dad himself, and is currently expecting a second child with his current girlfriend Lauren Hashian.
