Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson admits ‘regret’ over not reconciling with his father

Dwayne Johnson shared a poignant message to his fans and followers on Father’s Day.

The Moana star, 51, opened up about having one of the biggest fights of his life with his father, Rocky Johnson, just a few months before he died at the age of 75.

The Fast and Furious actor  – who has been open about battling depression following the split from his ex-wife – shared a video to his Instagram. 

Johnson explained that he didn’t get a chance to apologize to his father before he died and he’d give anything to have one more Father’s Day with him.

‘Had to tap back in to all my guys out there who – like me – no longer have our fathers to say Happy Father’s Day to. My old man died suddenly a few years ago,’ his post began. 

‘Unfortunately, we got in a fight about a month earlier and I never reconciled with him or even had a chance to say goodbye,’ the Jumanji actor explained.

‘So for me, every Father’s Day has become very tricky because there’s a lot pain. But every Father’s Day is also one of my greatest days because I have three amazing daughters who tell me, I love you and Happy Fathers Day.’

The Fast X actor is dad to Simone Johnson, 21, with ex-wife Dany Garcia, as well as Jasmine Johnson, seven, and Tiana Johnson, five, whom he shares with his wife, Lauren Hashian. 

‘To my guys out there, if your old man is still around – consider it a blessing. Even if you and your dad are working thru some complicated shit.

‘I’ve been there and I understand. But do your best to reconcile and get that drama behind you and get right with your dad.

‘It’s important. Because the alternative is regret and I don’t want that for you. Happy Fathers Day. We’re all lucky boys. “I’ll take care of it”’

The post was the second Father’s Day video he shared to Instagram.
