Once known as the WWE persona "The Rock," Dwayne Johnson is now known as a big screen star. In his next film, The Tooth Fairy, the 37-year-old father of one plays a mean-spirited ice-hockey player turned Tooth Fairy. Dwayne opened up to Parade about the spirit of the Tooth Fairy and the power that adults have on children's dreams.

On if his own daughter, 8-year-old daughter Simone, still believes in the Tooth Fairy: "I want to be careful what I say because she might just read this. Let's put it this way. I have been in the room when the Tooth Fairy has taken a tooth from under her pillow, but then I walked out the room very quickly because I didn't want to look at the Tooth Fairy. I got scared."

On the power of dreams: "In the beginning, my character is a dream killer, he doesn't believe in the possibility of dreams or the power that dreams can have. Not only that, he doesn't understand the impact as an adult that he has on children's lives. I've always realized that whether you have kids or not, as adults we're all connected in some way to children and we have a power to influence them -- just make sure that they understand their own potential and how important dreams are."
