Dwayne Johnson dishes over being misgendered as a kid: ‘I had soft features’ Entertainment Dwayne Johnson dishes over being misgendered as a kid: ‘I had soft features’ American actor Dwayne Johnson recently spilled the beans on his childhood and all the time his soft features would get him misgendered as a girl. The actor got candid during his appearance on Sunday Today and was quoted saying, “I sit down next to a kid, and within 60 seconds, he goes, ‘Can I ask you something?’ I said, ‘Yeah’. He goes, ‘Are you a boy or a girl?’ I would say between the ages of 7 and 11, people thought that I was a little girl because I had really soft features and I had really soft Afro hair.”
