While the year 2017 was filled with hardships, at least Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was here with a level head to set an example.

From his bromance with Kevin Hart, to continuing his dedication to charity work, the Rock had a great year, and we're hopeful he'll continue to delight in 2018.

1. When he flipped off Kevin Hart at the People's Choice Awards

5. When he hinted at a presidential run

7. When he upgraded his signature bull tattoo

8. When The Rock joined Kevin Hart's challenge to donate to Hurricane Garvey victims

9. When he revealed Maui from Moana was inspired by his grandfather
