Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson recently opened up about his secret battle with his mental health after suffering from depression for decades.
He also spoke of his mother Ata’s attempted suicide when he was just fifteen years old.
He revealed, “She got out of the car on the Interstate 65 in Nashville and walked into oncoming traffic. Big rigs and cars were swerving out the way. I grabbed her and pulled her back on the gravel shoulder of the road.”
Dwayne however, admitted that his mum was in such a state during the attempt that she doesn’t even recall trying to take her own life, “She has no recollection of it whatsoever,” he admitted. “Probably best she doesn’t.”
He further opened up about his depression and asserted that his depression bouts started when he was living in poverty as a child
He said, “I reached a point where I didn’t want to do a thing or go anywhere. I was crying constantly. We both healed but we’ve always got to do our best to pay attention when other people are in pain. We have to help them through it and remind them they are not alone.”
