Dwayne Johnson Laments 'Painful' Father's Day, Regrets Unreconciled Relationship with Late Father Rocky
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has reflected on his “complicated relationship with his late father, professional wrestling champion Rocky Johnson.
On Monday 20 June, the actor and WWE star shared a video on Instagram as he explained that there was something he had “missed” from his Father’s Day post the day prior.
In the original post shared on Sunday, Johnson shared a story about the pride he felt when he held his three daughters for the first time.
Hours later, Johnson shared a new, more emotional post addressing his relationship with his late father.
The Black Adam actor, 51, sympathised with fathers who, like him, do not have “the privilege anymore of wishing our own dads happy Father’s Day”.
Johnson added that the annual day can be “tricky” to deal with, especially for people who have had difficult relationships with their fathers.
“Especially if there’s a lot of guys out there, like me, who had a tough love, complicated relationship with our fathers,” he said.
Johnson continued “I had that with my old man, I know a lot of you guys did as well. So it’s tricky, because they’re not here now and we wish they were.”
