Dwayne The Rock Johnson Speech Broke the Internet
"I found that, with depression, one of the most important things you could realize is that you're not alone," the actor-wrestler, 43, said in a YouTube video posted by Winfrey's OWN channel Thursday. "You're not the first to go through it; you're not going to be the last to go through it. And oftentimes — it happens — you just feel like you're alone. You feel like it's only you. You're in your bubble. And I wish I had someone at that time who could just pull me aside and [say], 'Hey, it's gonna be OK. It'll be OK.' So, I wish I knew that."
He added, "Hold onto that fundamental quality of faith. Have faith that on the other side of your pain is something good."
According to that YouTube video's description, the former college football star had been battling depression at age 23 while living with his parents in a small apartment. Johnson said his decision at that age to pursue his father's career — professional wrestling — rather than return to the Canadian Football League team that cut him initially was perceived by his dad as the "worst mistake you will ever make."
