Seiuli Dwayne Johnson, The Rock, talked to Jonathan Ross last Friday on the popular Jonathan Ross show in Europe about his Samoan culture and heritage In talking about Samoa his Samoan heritage and his pride of the Samoan culture, The Rock, drew world attention to Samoa. After appearing on the Academy Awards as a presenter, the latest interview of the Rock comes as a big publicity help for the promotion of Samoa to the tourists around the world. A video clip on youtube of the Jonathan Ross interview with The Rock Comments (6) Subscribe to this comment's feed ... written by oBserVer, March 04, 2008 Don't get me wrong but for my understanding and my own knowledge...Samoan culture was already known by the world way before this interview.... the Samoan people are living world wide are the ones spreading the word about our small island and our culture and also the manu Samoa rugby team been all over the world they are the ones that drew the world attention to Samoa...we don't have to go on tv and tell the world where we at in the map and how great our people are....we also have brothers and sisters who are fightiing in Iraq and they are also the one spreading the words about our small island.....so please try to rephrase that...i dont' have anything against the Rock but is the way this article is saying its seems like the Rock is the only famous Samoan in the world..and if wasn't for him no one knows about Samoa Go Samoa written by Gregg Nelson, March 04, 2008 We profiled Samoa on oziwi.com www.oziwi.com The Rock written by BOB, March 05, 2008 the rock is hot! ... written by Laker Girl, March 07, 2008 I agree with Gregg Nelson Samoa is well known all over the world I been away from Samoa since I was a child and every where I go people ask me where I'm from I proudly said I'm from the most beatiful Island of Samoa the world new Samoa long before Mr Johnson intervied . Samoamatalast! written by Togafiti, July 23, 2008 Its understandable for our people to get offended when they just acknowledged us, but don't you think that the Rock is just showing his pride? Yes our people has been living and surviving all on our own, but as a Samoan its great that the Rock is representing his samoan side. So props to not only to the Rock, but to all our brothers n sisters making a name for themselves!!! ... written by FaDaMaUz, August 05, 2008 keep it up samoa Write comment Name Email Title Comment
