Hollywood superstar Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is grieving the loss of his cherished French bulldog, Hobbs. In an emotional Instagram post, the 52-year-old actor shared his sadness, expressing that he felt “numb” over Hobbs’ passing. He also expressed gratitude for the “pure love” Hobbs brought into his life and comfort in knowing that his beloved pet did not suffer long, passing away peacefully in the night.
Johnson honored Hobbs with a heartfelt tribute, posting a collection of photos and videos capturing their cherished moments together. He reflected on their special bond and the joy Hobbs brought his family. “Lately, there’s been a lot that’s too big to talk about.

Lonesome, lonely, heard it’s all the same,” he wrote, adding that he hopes Hobbs’ spirit will visit him again so they can “get in trouble and laugh again.”
Hobbs became part of Johnson’s family in 2016, joining another French bulldog named Brutus. Sadly, Brutus passed away later that year after accidentally eating a toxic mushroom. Hobbs, however, continued to be a loyal companion and even shared the spotlight with Johnson, appearing in the 2019 film Hobbs & Shaw, a Fast & Furious spin-off. Johnson humorously acknowledged Hobbs’ role in the film, joking about nepotism, and praised his dog’s energetic spirit and zest for life.
Despite his personal loss, Johnson remains busy with his career in both Hollywood and wrestling. He is set to star in a highly anticipated film about the Hawaiian mob, directed by legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese. The movie, co-starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Emily Blunt, will explore turf wars in Hawaii during the 1960s and 1970s, focusing on local gangs’ resistance against American business colonialism.
In addition to his film career, Johnson is making waves in the wrestling world. He is set to make a surprise return to WWE’s SmackDown at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. His appearance has sparked speculation about a potential match at WrestleMania 41, scheduled for April at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, hinted that Johnson’s return could have a major impact on the road to WrestleMania.
As Johnson continues to balance his acting and wrestling careers, he carries the memory of Hobbs with him, cherishing the years they spent together and the love they shared.
