Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is well known for his stellar performances in some of Hollywood's hottest blockbusters, but on Sunday night, the Moana star will take center stage as one of the award presenters at the Oscar's.

Away from the spotlight, the 50-year-old former wrestler spends much of his time with his wife Lauren Hashian and his three children Simone, Jasmine and Tiana. Lauren is always hands-on to support her husband, often appearing alongside him on the red carpet, but what do you know of the star? Keep scrolling for the ultimate low-down…

Who is Lauren Hashian?

Lauren is a music producer, composer and performer. The musically gifted mother-of-two was arguably inspired by her famous father Sib Hashian who took on the role of drummer in American rock band, Boston. Speaking to Billboard, Lauren joked she was destined to follow in her father's footsteps as he used to practice next to her bedroom.

"Even after his band had already split up, he practiced every single day of his life in the drum room," Lauren explained. "Seeing him practice every day, for me, it became part of my purpose — 'He practices every day, I should practice every day, too.'"

She made it to the show's final alongside TLC’s Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas.

Lauren has since gone on to release tracks like 'Ride the Wave' and she directed the music video for 'Exile' which features in her husband's film, Black Adam. The star also released her own EP Love...And Other Things (Side A) in 2021.
