The star of the “Fast & Furious” franchise, Dwayne Johnson, commonly renowned by his WWE surname “The Rock,” has introspected on the feelings he used to feel as a teenager and how everything was related to the environment, he was living in.
Dwayne Johnson has admitted in his recent interview that he used to feel a lot of racial judgments as a child and has added that discrimination vastly impacted his psychology. He has shared that the areas he used to live in as a child was deeply embedded in racism.
In his latest interview with Marvin R. Shanken of Cigar Aficionado, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has talked about a new show titled “Young Rock,” which will heavily focus on his younger years and the problems and tribulations that he faced.
One of the richest actors in Hollywood and a founder of the Seven Bucks productions, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has elucidated about the trials and triumphs of his childhood. He has talked about the upcoming show and has explained an inspiring story to Marvin R. Shanken, which will definitely give you a feeling as if nothing is impossible in this world.
The star of the latest film “Jumanji: The Next Level” and also “Jungle Cruise” opposite Emily Blunt has told Marvin R. Shanken that he had to start from a very low economic situation, and that was worsened by the racial discriminations that were prevalent in the areas he lived in. The discriminations reached out to him every time he wanted to do something because of his Black and Samoan origins.
He explained in the interview that before he reached the age of twelve, he predominantly lived in the southern parts of the United States of America, which included places like Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, Florida, among others.
He explained that by the time he reached puberty, he had faced a lot of racism because the injustice was rampant in the southern parts of the United States of America at that time.
“The Rock” stated to Marvin R. Shanken that he used to be bursting with anger as a kid because of the things said to him or done to him. Johnson described to Shanken that the anger and frustrations inside him slowly turned his face towards the criminal side of the world and caused him to get arrested because of thefts, fights, and altercations.
Johnson now introspects on that and blames it on the toxic environment to make him behave that way. He revealed that he slowly resorted to truancy and a lot of things, which may sound funny right now, but are very serious when you talk about a kid and his future.
The show, based on his young child titled “Young Rock,” which is a production venture of NBC, is going to arrive on the platform on February the 16th.
“Young Rock” is one of the projects that he has been within the pandemic era and might have been influenced by the Black Lives Matter movement, which gripped the United States of America in June of 2020, and it is still prevalent today.
He will be seen opposite Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds in the comedy thriller “Red Notice.”
