With all the cool shit and success that I’ve been lucky enough to get? That doesn’t happen unless the home life is solid,” he said.

1. Lauren Saved Him From Depression

You wouldn’t think the Rock, who’s one of the most lovable and just genuinely happy actors in the industry suffered from depression, but he has several times. One of the worst occasions was after his divorce from his college sweetheart, Dany Garcia. The two have an amazing relationship today; they co-parent their daughter Simone, and Garcia still runs his production company. Not only that but Garcia’s brother is Johnson’s producing partner and her husband is his conditioning coach. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Johnson said that Hashian was the one who pulled him from his depression. They began dating around the same time Johnson went through his difficult divorce. “She embraced and loved me at my very worst and lifted me up to be my very best,” he said.
