The rock among the GQ Men of the Year winners

WWE legend The Rock has been named the first recipient of GQ’s Men of the Year award for 2024.

Each year, the publication recognizes the top performers in music, sports, film and entertainment for their contributions to the industry. In the first of many announcements to come, The People’s Champion has been named Entertainer of the Year and will be one of the cover stars of the next issue.

Rock took to social media to acknowledge the award, thanking GQ for the award and for trying to step away from the hustle and bustle more after being in the spotlight for most of his life:

Pretty cool and humbling to be the first #GQMOTY cover star of this year.

There is no way to be inconspicuous these days. But after two decades of action, adventure and comedy in major films, we talked about how excited I was to do something completely new: Disappear.

Zach and I talked about our big upcoming films, Red One and Moana 2, and the deep exploration I did with a very different film – A24s, The Smashing Machine.
