And guess what? His Instagram is full of them! From his now-infamous "pornstache" yearbook portrait to high school football shots, I'm glad Dwayne has a good sense of humour about it all and is now able to poke fun at his awkward teen years. The ladies may have "stayed far away" from him before, but I'm sure that's definitely not the case now. I mean, just look at the gorgeous man he blossomed into! Ahead, take a walk down memory lane and look back at Dwayne's best throwback photos. Related: Holy Muscles! Is It Just Me, or Did Dwayne Johnson's Biceps Suddenly Get Way Bigger?

McKinley HS (Honolulu, HI), Glencliff HS (Nashville, TN), McGavock HS (Nashville, TN), Freedom HS (Bethlehem, PA). I was also 6'4 225lbs, rockin' a dead caterpillar on my lip (aka the porn 'stache) and all the kids in every high school thought I was an undercover cop cause I looked like a mutated, yet handsome SOB of a man child. Plus in Nashville I was already hangin' out in honey tonk dive bars on Music Row and hustlin' cars from crackheads. Yup, one of the many reasons why I'm a grateful man for the life I have today and also grateful I straight up kicked puberty's ass early in life. #GodBlessSamoanAndBlackGenetics #AndGodBlessOurTeenageYears #AndWTFWasIThinkingWithThisMustache A post shared by therock (@therock) on Aug 6, 2015 at 12:24pm PDT 2 / 8 View this post on Instagram A post shared by therock (@therock) on May 14, 2016 at 3:29pm PDT 3 / 8 View this post on Instagram "What's this puberty thing everyone keeps talkin' about?" #TBT #LostMemberOfMenudo #FakeBearskinOnTheWall #PornStache #WTF A post shared by therock (@therock) on Oct 16, 2014 at 3:19pm PDT 4 / 8 View this post on Instagram #TBT to The Blamoan (Black & Samoan) Beast - pregame autograph signing at our famed Orange Bowl when I was ballin’ for THE U. 22yrs old, broke like a MF’r and extremely hungry to make it. And as you can see being bald is my choice dammit 😂 Took me years to finally understand what a lucky SOB I am to actually have fan ask for my autograph. Back then, I didn’t understand how cool it is or how grateful I should be to have someone care enough to ask for your signature. Because the alternative is simple — go back to being broke and nobody givin’ a shit about gettin’ my autograph. Once I realized that, I never turned down an autograph request again. Unless the person’s an asshole 😉. #TheBlamoanBeast #94OnTheField #1InYourHeart 🤢 A post shared by therock (@therock) on Feb 7, 2019 at 4:59pm PST 5 / 8 View this post on Instagram A post shared by therock (@therock) on Aug 5, 2018 at 6:04pm PDT 6 / 8 View this post on Instagram TBT. Senior year. "We are the champions, my friend.. and we'll keep on fighting 'til the end." We'll also continue the scientific research on why I'm only 17yrs old in this pic, but look 47. #KickinPubertysAss #FreedomHighPatriots #BethlehemPA #72OnTheField #1InYourHeart #WithADeadCaterpillarOnMyUpperLip 💀 A post shared by therock (@therock) on Jul 20, 2017 at 12:54pm PDT 7 / 8 View this post on Instagram Pre-season. 18yr old man child and ballin' so hard I was going to be the only freshman that season to not redshirt and play. Life was awesome. A week after this pic was taken I tore every ligament in my shoulder and had total reconstructive surgery destroying any chance of playing that season. Two months later I feel into depression, said "f*ck it", quit school and because of that I was immediately placed on academic probation. Life sucked. After realizing how much I screwed up, I made a commitment to my teammates, coaches and more importantly, myself to become better. I turned things around and after months of hard work I earned academic captain and we would go on to become National Champions and play for the title on two more occasions throughout my college career. The high times at The U of Miami were incredible and unforgettable. But gettin' my ass kicked with the hardest of low times are what taught me the greatest lessons. #Grateful #TheU #NationalChamps #HardestWorkersInTheGame #AndThankGodDormRoomWallsDontTalk #TBT A post shared by therock (@therock) on Jul 16, 2015 at 4:03pm PDT 8 / 8 Celebrity InstagramsNostalgiaDwayne Johnson
