Dwayne Johnson Shares Adorable Throwback Photo: 'Just Drippin' Cool with My Buck Teeth' at 7

Dwayne Johnson is looking back at his younger years.

On Friday, the 48-year-old actor shared a throwback photo of himself as a young child on Instagram, which appears to have been taken during one of his annual school photo day sessions.

Posing in a multicolored button-down shirt as he grins at the camera, Johnson captioned his post, "Throwback to 7 years old in Hawaii, and just drippin’ cool with my buck teeth, aloha shirt and WTF is going on with my afro matted down on one side!?🤦🏽‍♂️."

"No way this stud doesn’t grow up to become Sexiest Man Alive 🤣," he added, referencing the title that PEOPLE awarded him with back in 2016.

Closing out his caption, Johnson then added a slew of hashtags, including, "#HellooooLadies" and "#KingOf2ndGrade."

Fans of Johnson wrote in the comment section of the post, where many admired the former wrestler's adorable portrait.

"[Throwback] to when he was 'the pebble,'" one user wrote, referring to Johnson's childhood nickname, as another said, "Too much swag."

Johnson, who was born in 1972, has been open about his childhood in years past, even revealing that his family wasn’t always so fortunate during a reflective Instagram post at Thanksgiving in 2017.

"As my mom pointed out earlier in the day, there was a time back in ‘87 when we couldn’t even afford Thanksgiving dinner and was praying someone would invite us over their house to eat," he wrote. "We were in a tough spot back then, but we got thru it. And here we are today."
