Father-of-two Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been named PEOPLE‘s Sexiest Man Alive. The former WWE champ, 44, opens up about the new title and family life with longtime girlfriend Lauren Hashian, their 11-month old daughter Jasmine and his daughter Simone, 15, with ex-wife, producer Dany Garcia.

On his family: “We just have this awesome family that is truly non-traditional but so rooted in love. And that’s such a cool thing. I’m very proud of it.”

On his reaction to being named Sexiest Man Alive: “I said, ‘That’s awesome.’ And then what went through my mind was just how cool and exciting it is. And then I thought, ‘Wow, we’ve pretty much reached the pinnacle.’ I’m not quite too sure where we go from here. I’ve done it all, this is it.”

On growing up in Hawaii as a teen: “I was doing a lot of things that I shouldn’t have. I was getting arrested multiple times, but at the same time, always very respectful to my teachers and elders. I was unsure of who I was and who I wanted to be.”

On his career and family life: “I’ve made big sweeping changes in my career over the years, which have served me nicely. But I feel that the big sweeping changes that happened in my life, in my relationships, of being a dad, of being a partner, and the things that I was and the things that I am, has really lent itself to a confidence.”

On what makes him sexy: “Ah, a sense of humor. And I think probably just not trying to be sexy and just being cool and confident in your movies. I think with a lot of my fans, I’ve gotten to a very, very cool place where there’s a direct line between the man they know off-screen and the man they see on-screen.”
