Actor Dwayne Johnson arrives at the premiere of Warner Bros. Widely regarded as one of the greatest-ever WWE talents, The Rock was named the world’s highest-paid actor and one of the planet’s 100 most influential people in 2016.

The California-born actor, comedian and former WWE champion wrestler says the darkness descended on him after his mother attempted suicide when he was just 15, according to The Express, a United Kingdom -based publication.

In an interview given with the Express, The Rock details his own struggles with depression, becoming one of the latest men in Hollywood to get real about mental health issues. “I was devastated and depressed”.

“.I’m at the point right now and recognize that I have no experience in public office”, he said.

“I think in a lot of people’s minds, what Trump has proved is that anybody can run for president”, the Rampage star said.

“We’ve always got to do our best to pay attention when other people are in pain”.

Explaining they had planned to Wednesday in Hawaii, Dwayne said: “But then we got pregnant”.

The 45-year-old megastar and former wrestler, who was here in Vancouver and Surrey last summer filming Skyscraper, opened up about those dark times in a recent with the Express newspaper.

The star of last year’s Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle movie added: “What’s insane about that suicide attempt is that to this day, she has no recollection of it whatsoever”. If and when you want to run for president, when you text me this word, I’ll come running. He has laid the smackdown on outdated gender stereotypes.

Trump took on professional athletes – namely the NFL – after players began to kneel or otherwise protest during the playing of the national anthem.

While he was a registered Republican, he’s since become an independent, he told GQ magazine for a 2017 profile. “Our country was built on that, and it continues to be made strong by that…”

While he is not an overtly political star like other big names in the industry, Johnson did voice some vaguely liberal or left-leaning opinions in the piece.
