Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson appears to be one of the toughest men in the movie industry, but there was a time in Dwayne Johnson's life when he didn't think he had much to offer.
The star of director Brad Peyton's American disaster film San Andreas - Dwayne Johnson, opened up on the primetime television program Oprah's Master Class, about his battle with depression and how it ultimately led to a career-defining decision. The Rock made it known that his depression became crippling.
The 43 year old professional wrestler turned actor said, "I wish I had someone at that time who could just pull me aside and say, 'Hey it's gonna be ok.'"
But, for those people who suffer from depression, 'The Rock' offered suggestions that they should keep pushing through for the reason that, eventually it will turn around to be great.
Dwayne Johnson also said, "You just gotta remember: Hold on to that fundamental quality of faith," "Have faith on the other side of your pain which have something good."
In Dwayne Johnson's case, it was the moment when his former coach from a team that cut him down, then called him and asked him to come back - but, instead of coming back, Dwayne Johnson decided he would pursue something else - wrestling. However, his dad, wasn't exactly up for the idea, but supported Dwayne Johnson at the end of the day. And Dwayne Johnson said that his father rose to the occasion.
After Johnson's statement of acknowledging the truth about his depression that went viral, The Rock took to his Twitter account on Thursday to thank his fans for all the assistance he has received since making his difficult admission.
The Furious 7 actor posted, "Thx fam. Hardest thing sometimes, especially men is asking for help," Dwayne Johnson added, "I wish I did. You're never alone. Speak up."
