In the lead-up to Father’s Day, Dwayne Johnson shares that he carries on honoring his significant late grandfather in two distinct ways: by expanding his men’s grooming brand, PapaTui, and through the characters he portrays in his films.
In his latest Instagram post, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who starred in Jungle Cruise, shared that his Samoan grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia, embodied genuine masculinity and self-care even before it became a trendy term. According to Johnson, his grandfather was an influential figure for him, admired everywhere he went, and took great care of himself. He also revealed that his grandfather served as the inspiration for his Moana character, Maui. This revelation comes alongside the launch of Papatui in Walmart stores and online. The brand is also available at Target.
The renowned businessman has shared that the name of his cost-effective personal care brand is derived from “little tui,” a pet name bestowed upon him by his grandpa, and “papa,” which translates to “rock” in Samoan and symbolizes his cherished role as a father.

53-year-old dad of three added, “Everyone has dads, granddads, or male role models who could benefit from some self-care. So, for Father’s Day this year, consider gifting them Papatui men’s care essentials from Walmart. Embrace your inner PapaTui – it may be a mystery to me what that represents, but it certainly sounds appealing!
Introduced the previous year, Papatui encompasses a wide range of products including skincare items, body washes, soaps, lotions, aluminum-free deodorants and antiperspirants, hair care, tattoo care, and various grooming essentials, priced under $13. All the products are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from phthalates, parabens, and sulfates. The brand’s star fragrances were developed by Frank Voelkl, known for creating Le Labo’s top-selling Santal 33. Voelkl is responsible for signature scents like Sandalwood Suede, a luxurious and woody scent that resembles a high-end resort and spa; Lush Coconut, with vanilla undertones evoking the aroma of a tropical island getaway; and Cedar Sport, a fresh cedarwood scent that provides an invigorating boost in the mornings. The brand also offers Vanilla Shea and unscented options.
