Dwayne Johnson…ABC News

Dwayne Johnson

The semi-retired wrestler and actor has been quite candid about his battles with depression.

In a YouTube video, he stated, “I found that, with depression, one of the most important things you could realize is that you’re not alone, 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.”
