Action man Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson believes in aliens, he has revealed.

The wrestler turned actor is in Race To Witch Mountain - a remake of a 1970s sci-fi classic.

He said: “I was a believer before the movie, I’m certainly a believer now.

“I think we’d be arrogant to think that we’re the only life form out there so I believe.”

Dwayne Johnson said he knew his daughter Simone would be a big fan of the film, which is why he decided to take on the role: “She loves the movie and you know I’m a proud daddy and great friends with her mum.

“All the movies that I make she can’t see, so for me to make a movie that she thinks, ‘oh wow this is really cool… daddy’s in it, daddy’s cool’.

“I got to say being a parent, a daddy, a proud daddy, that bond between being a little girl and her daddy is so unique and special, and it’s something that’s incredible.

“You know the fact that she’ll measure every guy that she meets against me, it’s really cool.”

Dwayne Johnson received the highest salary for an actor in his first starring role for The Scorpion King in 2001.

He said on The Paul O’Grady Show in the UK: “When I was eight years old, I used to think I was all those guys… Harrison Ford, Chuck Norris, Richard Price, Gene Wilder and Elvis Presley.”
