Dwayne Johnson on challenges post his divorce from Dany Garcia: 'Was reallygoing through it'
India, Nov. 11 -- Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson opened up on the emotional challenges of his divorce from ex-wife Dany Garcia. The couple, who were married for 16 years, separated in 2007. For actor and professional wrestler, the split was not just about ending a marriage but also about how it would affect their daughter, Simone, now 24.
"When you guys get married, as a few of you may know, you sign up for the long haul, but then it doesn't always work out like that. And then it rocks you like it rocked me. And we had a baby, and what kind of father was I going to be?" he said on the November 6 episode of The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast.
Dwayne admitted his divorce took a heavy toll on his mental health, leading to a period of depression. "At that time I was really going through it," he said. The divorce influenced his career, prompting him to choose lighter, family-friendly roles in films like The Game Plan and Tooth Fairy.
. "I was trying to figure my stuff out, and that was the only thing that I really wanted to do artistically," he explained. "I didn't want anything that was going to challenge me to rip my guts out. I wanted stuff that has a happy ending, and so that's what that was." The actor said he enjoyed making these films.
