When Dwayne Johnson first felt depression
Speaking to The Pivot podcast, the Fast X actor revealed that he first felt depressed when he was at the University of Miami and injured his shoulder. The injury kept him from being able to play on the football team. He said, ‘I didn’t want to go to school… I was ready to leave.” The actor further said that he left school and didn’t take any midterms. “But the interesting thing, at that time, is I just didn’t know what it was. I didn’t know what mental health was. I didn’t know what depression was,” said the actor. Dwayne said he just knew he didn’t want to be there. He confessed that he wasn’t going to any of the team meetings, neither did he participate in anything.
Meanwhile, on the work front, the actor can be currently seen in Fast X, which was released on May 19 in the theatres. Helmed by Louis Leterrier, the movie is part of the Fast & Furious franchise. It also stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, John Cena, Jason Momoa and others.
