Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson reveals he battled depression after his mother attempted suicide [View all]

The Rock wasn’t always unbreakable.

When he was just 15 years old, Dwayne Johnson’s mother Ata tried to commit suicide, walking into oncoming traffic right in front of him.

Ata survived, but Johnson had trouble moving forward.

“I reached a point where I didn’t want to do a thing or go anywhere. I was crying constantly,” the actor told The Express.


I applaud Mr. Johnson for being public and unashamed about his past depression. It helps all of we men.
