It’s near impossible to imagine a version of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson that isn’t 6’5″ and absolutely shredded.

Born in 1972, The Rock has been through many eras of fitness and style. From tan suits to turtlenecks, The Rock, too, has been victim of weird fashion trends.

These nostalgic childhood pictures of Baby Dwayne show the evolution of a sweet little kid into the beast we know today.

Most of these pics highlight The Rock under the age of 18, but scroll to the end for an iconic throwback that couldn’t be missed.

1. Look at that sweet little baby! I can’t believe there was a time where The Rock could be lifted up.

2. This is Dwayne at 4 years old. Such adorable curly hair! Who knew?

3. Dwayne spent his early years in New Zealand with his mom, before heading to Hawaii to support his dad’s wrestling career.

8. Here’s The Rock at 16, introducing his signature haircut. Look at that little mustache!

10. Listen… we couldn’t do a Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson appreciation post without highlighting this classic photo. The turtleneck. The chain. The earring. He’s making our ’90s fashion dreams come true with this look.
