The Rock living his dream in Ballers
LUAINE LEE
Tribune News Service
MIAMI — Everybody knows him as
The Rock. Most associate that
with Dwayne Johnson’s physical
prowess, his domination as a
wrestler and his steely determination. But it could stand for something else.
When he was 23, he said, he hit
“rock bottom.”
“The first rock bottom that
I hit was out of college where
I worked for 10 years from the
time I started playing football
at 14 years old to the time I was
23, I think, and did not get drafted.
I played in the CFL [Canadian
Football League] for approximately 200 bucks a week Canadian. I got cut from the team
a couple of months later, and I had
to close that chapter in my life,”
he said in his tailor-made gym
in Miami.
Dwayne Johnson returns for his second season in HBO’s Ballers.
“Then when I went back home,
I couldn’t afford to live here in
Miami with my girlfriend at the
time, and I had to move back in
with my parents … It’s a tough
experience when you have to
move back in with your parents.
And at that time, my parents —
we never lived in a home. So they
had a little small apartment in
Tampa, and I had to move in with
them. And then you go through
the challenges of that. You hit
depression. You hit rock bottom.”
Growing up, Johnson’s dream
was to play in the National Football League. But he suffered
several serious injuries in college
football resulting in five knee surgeries, debilitating back trauma
and medical reconstruction of his
shoulder. His alternative goal
became wrestling. And the world
first heard of The Rock when he
kept pinning the competition,
piling up championships like junk
mail.
Even so Johnson’s fame as a
wrestler has been eclipsed by his
momentum in film and television,
with movies such as The Scorpion
King, San Andreas, Central Intelligence, and TV shows such as
Clash Time, WrestleMania and his
latest, Ballers, now in its second
season on HBO Sundays.
On the half-hour comedy,
Johnson, 44, plays Spencer

Strasmore, an ex-football superstar whose contacts make him the
ideal financial mediator and mentor to players. Johnson, who is
also an executive producer on the
show, confesses that Strasmore is
the man he longed to be.
“Spencer Strasmore has a life
I wanted. I wanted that life. Down
here, University of Miami,
18 years old, I stepped on campus.
I had no money, and we struggled
for a long time. But my No. 1
goal was to make it to the NFL
just so I can buy my parents their
first house that they lived in.
I never lived in a house until I
was 28 years old. So we lived
in efficiencies and apartments,”
he said.
“So the point is, it’s Spencer’s
life as a successful NFL player,
future Hall of Famer — that was
the life I wanted. I failed at that
… I think I found peace with it.
I don’t know.”
