Girls, who still kiss the TV screen each time they see The Rock, and guys, who continue to have a huge poster of the wrestler-actor on their bedroom wall, here are 16 reasons why you should follow Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on Instagram RIGHT NOW:

1. Because… he shows you how to love your daughter.

Proud to partner with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg & the LeanIn.Org team for women's equality. As a proud Papa Bear, I'm for equality, 'cause one day this beautiful young girl will grow to be a great woman and leader. A CEO, a champion.. whatever she chooses to become. Plus she's gonna be tougher than a $2 dollar steak so let's pass it on.. #LeanInTogether #FathersAndDaughters #AwesomeBond #AmazingLessons

2. Because… he loves his pets and the pets love him too.

#TBT Bob here is being a punk cause he knows it's picture time and I'm trying to look cool. While Jeffery is like "I'm a straight baller and ready to blow up the 'gram". Miss ya boys. See ya soon. #OurFarm

3. Because… he will teach your pup that only a bad boy sticks out his tongue.

4. Because… he gives you better ways to hug him (and sleep).

An awesome fan (Sophie) sent me this. Thank you honey and hope you had an awesome Christmas. #ItsFineForYouToSnore #ButNoDroolingOnMyFace #IJustExfoliated #AndUMustWinEveryPillowFight

5. Because…like a fashion guide, he tells you what not to wear on Christmas

Very funny.. and f*cked up. #GotMeOutHere #LookinLikeTwoBuffLesbians #WhoJustExfoliated #MistleToesAndFannyPacks

6. Because… like a true mentor, he shows you how not to make a debut

Armed with only ambition and a bad haircut… On this November day in 1996, I made my WWE debut at Madison Square Garden. #ForeverGrateful #DefiningNight #WhoCutMyHairStevieWonder

7. Because… we love the way he readily gives in to this lady in his signature eyebrow game.

Really appreciate y'all sharing this awesome young lady's story with me. Stay strong honey and I appreciate and love the sense of humor you're approaching this with. And for the record, your eyebrow game is WAY BETTER than mine… #StayStrong #YourEyebrowGameIsOnPoint #MyHaircutGameIsOnChiaPet

8. Because… he shows you it takes exactly two to tango. Three cheers for granny! Plus, you get to know how to flaunt your tattoo.

#Tbt In Samoan culture there's a very special dance called the "Taualuga" where we, as men honor the women by dancing around them out of love and great respect. On my grandmother's 80th birthday she danced her Taualuga while I proudly danced around her while she laughed and beamed with pride. She had the greatest birthday and her smile was from ear to ear. My grandmother, Lia Maivia was a strong willed, highly respected and tough pioneer in the world of pro wrestling, becoming wrestling's first successful female promoter. But when we hit hard times and my family was evicted, shortly after that my grandmother became homeless. When I finally could afford it I bought her a place of her very own that she LOVED! I always asked after that, "Grandma are you happy?" To which she'd call me by my Samoan name and say, "Tuifeai I'm so happy.. thank you.. oh and can you please sing that song I like.." Ha! I'd start singin' away (off key of course) and she'd laugh and smile from ear to ear. A few months after this picture was taken my grandma passed away peacefully in her sleep. I know we all experience loss and it's so tough to deal with… but I'm forever grateful for the one of kind life lessons only grandma's can teach us. Miss you grandma and I hope you hear me cause I'm still quietly singin' away to you.. Misiga tele 'oe Grandma, alofa tele atu mo 'oe.

9. Because… he proves that morning shows the day.

I first met my hero and friend, Muhammad Ali when I was 6yrs old in New Zealand. He pretended to spar with me and pulled me up on his lap to take this pic. In that moment, his kindness made me the happiest kid in the world… Met him again at 24yrs old and he pulled me in for a hug and whispered, "Can you rumble?". In 1998, as The Rock in the WWE, he granted me the true honor of using his title, "The People's Champ" – a title I proudly carry for life. That said, I'm so happy to announce that the champ himself has just joined us on Instagram… I've put together a short welcome video (with my partners @rootsoffight). Go check out @muhammadali and show some love to The Greatest Of All Time. Welcome to Instagram champ! #ThankUForBeingSoKindToMeAsAKid #NeverForgotIt #NothingIsImpossible #YouAreTrulyThePeoplesChamp

10. Because… the People’s Champ lets you win. And that makes him the real champ

When I visited the Children's National Hospital, I had the great pleasure of meeting Taylor – a very special and awesome girl. Minutes later I had the great displeasure of her beating me in an arm wrestling match in front of the entire hospital. #ThoughtIWasStrong #Nope #TaylorHasThatSuperHeroStrength #MerryChristmasHoney #ThankYouForMakingMyDay #AndForKickingMyButtAtArmWrasslin

11. Because… he shows you how to shoo people away when there are too many of them disturbing you while you are practising piano.

12. Because…he tells you what all you should ideally not do when you’re 15: Click a pic in your knickers, and not delete that pic, etc.

"What's this puberty thing everyone keeps talkin' about?" #TBT #LostMemberOfMenudo #FakeBearskinOnTheWall #PornStache #WTF

14. Because… he shows you how much hair is too much.

My lil' cousin, Bruno Mars posted this last week on Twitter/FB. Good looks, gorillas and moonshine run in our family.. 😉 #SilverbackHooligans

15. Because… he lets you in on the secret that how he went on to become a Scorpion King. One fine morning, he was accidentally bitten by a crustacean when he was trying to cook it! You know, Spiderman aka Tobey Maguire took a cue from him!

16. Because… most importantly, if you are from Bangalore, he may shake hands with you and tell the world about it too.

Just met Rahul who flew over 3,000 miles from Bangalore, India to Budapest, Hungary in hopes to shake my hand and tell me how much I've inspired him throughout his life's journey. Meetings like this bring me the greatest joy cause its a reminder of how we all inspire each other to be better and just how powerful that can be. Safe travels back to India my friend and continued blessings. And in other words.. keep kickin ass. #ShubhKaamnayein
