00:00:10
The Rock: Thank you, Oprah, for having me.
00:00:17
Thank you, guys.
00:00:18
Oprah: So, your father was very strict.
00:00:19
Now, here's the thing.
00:00:20
You've gone one on one with some fierce competitors
in the ring, right?
00:00:25
But now you were in one of the scariest situations
any man can be in raising three daughters.
00:00:32
The Rock: Yes.
00:00:33
Yes, extremely scary.
00:00:34
Oprah: And are you a strict Dad?
00:00:39
The Rock: I am.
00:00:45
Not super strict, but discipline is important.
00:00:49
But also, you know, I'll go back to my dad.
00:00:52
My dad loved me with a small capacity in which
he was capable of.
00:00:56
So, I learned from that and so with my daughters,
I want to be as full and as present with the
00:01:02
love that I give them.
00:01:03
Oprah: Present, yes.
00:01:04
That's what we were talking about.
00:01:06
What do you want to make sure that they get
that you didn't get?
00:01:13
And it's so interesting when you have children,
I've seen this from a lot of people who, you
00:01:17
didn't get what you needed.
00:01:18
You just didn't get what you needed because
of what The Rock just said, your parents didn't
00:01:24
have the capacity to give it to you.
00:01:27
And now that you're older, you have to learn
to give that to yourself and to be able to
00:01:31
give that to your children in a way that you
don't carry on what was done to you.
00:01:36
So, what is it you want your daughters to
know about the way you love them?
00:01:41
The Rock: I want my daughters to know that
I love them unconditionally, truly, unconditionally
00:01:48
without condition.
00:01:49
And I have a daughter who's 18 years old,
her name is Simone.
00:01:53
Jasmine who just turned four, baby, Tiana,
thank you who is getting ready to turn two.
00:01:59
And I am as I told my 18-year-old daughter,
Simone, I said I love you.
00:02:05
I'm going to tell you I love you every day,
I'm going to text you I love you…
00:02:08
Oprah: So, you're one of those who say the
words out loud?
00:02:11
The Rock: Yes, because I didn't get that.
00:02:13
And I look at you, I love you and I'm going
to text you.
00:02:16
But I also told her, I'm unattached.
00:02:17
You don't even have to text me back.
00:02:19
Right?
00:02:20
You could text me back.
00:02:21
It's fine.
00:02:22
But you don't have to, like it's okay.
00:02:23
It's without condition.
00:02:24
It's unconditional love.
00:02:25
And I also want to teach my daughters the
value of hard work.
00:02:30
More importantly, I want to teach my daughters
the value of being kind, and how important
00:02:34
that is.
00:02:35
Oprah: Well, you know, I read that your father,
you used to watch him in training, and he
00:02:39
would say, “If I'm going to get up at 6:00
AM, you're going to get up at 6:00 AM.”
00:02:43
So, what do you think you've got the most
from him?
00:02:46
Was it your work ethic?
00:02:47
What was it?
00:02:48
The Rock: It was definitely my work ethic.
00:02:50
My dad was a man who, against the odds, made
it.
00:02:56
But he would get up at usually 5:00, 5:30
in the morning, and he would say if I get
00:03:00
up, you're going to get up too.
00:03:02
He would drag me to the gym and by the way,
I'm five years old, and he would drag me to
00:03:05
the gym.
00:03:06
Yes.
00:03:07
And I wouldn't work out, but he would just
make sure that I was there and be with him,
00:03:10
and that was our time that we could spend
together.
00:03:14
But I would say my work ethic from my dad,
my dad always said too that, regardless of
00:03:19
what you do in life and where you go, respect
is going to be given when it's earned.
00:03:23
And you have to go out and earn it every single
day.
00:03:27
Oprah: Yeah.
00:03:28
So, your dad taught you a lot.
00:03:30
I wonder, what have your daughters taught
you?
00:03:33
The Rock: My daughters taught me how to be
I think more caring and more sensitive and
00:03:43
more selfless.
00:03:45
Oprah: Yeah.
00:03:46
Were you there for all of them when they were
born?
00:03:48
The Rock: I was right there.
00:03:49
Oprah: Right there?
00:03:50
The Rock: I mean, right there.
00:03:51
Yes.
00:03:52
Oprah: I mean, you were right there.
00:03:54
The Rock: I was right there.
00:03:55
Yes.
00:03:56
And bring it on.
00:03:57
I mean, this is our moment.
00:03:58
Yes.
00:03:59
Oprah: Yeah.
00:04:00
Yeah.
00:04:01
And is that a life-changing moment, when that
happens for you?
00:04:05
The Rock: It's the greatest thing that I have
ever experienced in my life.
00:04:10
And it gave me such a profound respect for
my babies’ mamas.
00:04:19
I have two.
00:04:21
I was once married and now I'm happily married.
00:04:24
Lauren is back there.
00:04:25
We've known each other for 13 years now but
I have, it has been the most profound experience
00:04:30
of my life because also too, you know, when
you meet...
00:04:33
As a man, you meet someone, you meet a woman,
and this is going to be the one and you want
00:04:38
to get married and my first marriage didn't
work out.
00:04:41
But then the birth of a child and what that
does and the lens perspective that just shifts
00:04:50
and it just gives me a new profound respect
for again, their moms as...
00:04:55
Oprah: So, it didn't work out with the marriage,
but then she became your business partner,
00:04:59
your first marriage?
00:05:00
The Rock: She did.
00:05:01
Yes, yes.
00:05:02
Oprah: And you still are.
00:05:03
The Rock: We still are.
00:05:04
So, my ex-wife, Dany, we, the marriage didn't
work out.
00:05:08
And it was just one of those things where
it wasn't an ugly divorce, it was just marriage
00:05:12
wasn't in our cards.
00:05:13
We’re great friends.
00:05:16
Marriage wasn't in our cards, but we both
had an appetite for business and to accomplish
00:05:22
things.
00:05:23
And we thought, “Well, what if we continued
to do business together and do you think we
00:05:28
can?”
00:05:29
And it felt like we could make something happen
and we did.
00:05:32
Oprah: I know you didn't grow up with a lot
of money.
00:05:34
And I read the story about when, I think you
were 15, and there was an eviction notice
00:05:39
on the door and how that made a big impression
on you, right?
00:05:44
The Rock: It did.
00:05:45
Yes.
00:05:46
Oprah: Now, you’re one of the highest-paid
actors in the world.
00:05:50
The Rock: Thank you.
00:05:53
I do all right.
00:05:54
Thank you.
00:05:55
Oprah: You do all right.
00:05:56
And does that title, the sexiest man alive,
the highest paid in the...
00:06:04
What do those titles mean if anything?
00:06:05
You're the greatest, you're the most popular,
you're the most followed, you're the most,
00:06:10
you’re the most, the most, the most, the
most.
00:06:13
The Rock: It's great for the ego.
00:06:16
It's wonderful.
00:06:17
Oprah: Yeah, the better question is, how do
you keep your ego in check when all of that
00:06:22
is happening around?
00:06:23
The Rock: Sure.
00:06:24
Very important.
00:06:26
People I have around me and how important
that is...
00:06:28
Oprah: Do you have anybody who can tell you
the truth at this point?
00:06:30
The Rock: Yeah, she's called my wife.
00:06:32
Yes.
00:06:33
Oprah: Okay.
00:06:34
Lauren can tell you the truth?
00:06:35
The Rock: Yes, Lauren can tell me the truth.
00:06:36
But by the way, and this is where it's the
tricky thing for us to being in this position,
00:06:39
is we want to make sure that we have people
around us who are inspired to do well and
00:06:43
reach for and continue to share our vision,
but also at time say, well, I'm not quite
00:06:49
sure if that's the right thing to do.
00:06:50
So, look, I've had a wonderful career, especially
coming from being evicted.
00:06:55
And those titles are nice, and everything
is fine.
00:06:59
But honestly, I'm so grateful to be in the
position I’m in and I never take anything
00:07:06
for granted.
00:07:07
I try not to…
00:07:08
Oprah: Aren’t you glad that you were once
evicted, because it gives you such an appreciation
00:07:13
for what you have now?
00:07:14
The Rock: It just gives such perspective.
00:07:15
When we were 14 years old, we lived in Hawaii
and we lived in a small efficiency apartment.
00:07:21
And we were, my mom and I came home, and I'll
never forget the rent was $180 a week.
00:07:27
And there was an eviction…
00:07:28
Oprah: A week?
00:07:29
The Rock: A week.
00:07:30
And that was an eviction notice on the door.
00:07:32
And it was, this was the one, it was the final
eviction notice, like, that's the one.
00:07:38
My mom started crying, and I never forgot
in that moment, it was a seminal moment for
00:07:43
me because I felt like I never want to be
in this position again.
00:07:47
What can I do?
00:07:49
So, at 14 years old, I thought, well, the
heroes in my life, Muhammad Ali, for example,
00:07:55
professional wrestlers, they're all men who
have worked hard with their hands and they
00:07:59
built their body.
00:08:00
Yes, that's what I'm gonna do.
00:08:02
I'm gonna do what my dad taught me and these
other heroes, I'm gonna go build my body so,
00:08:05
we're never evicted again, but being evicted,
by the way, has as you were saying has not
00:08:11
only given me just great perspective, but
also great gratitude, but also my team and
00:08:18
my family, we laugh at it, but I feel this
way like, “Oh, well, you know, we're a month
00:08:24
away from being evicted.
00:08:25
I gotta go to work.”
00:08:26
Like, I still have that in my head.
00:08:27
Oprah: You still have that?
00:08:28
The Rock: I still have that in my head, you
know, but it keeps you grounded by the way.
00:08:32
Yeah, because that's why the most this and
the most that again, it's wonderful.
00:08:38
But the alternative is what I once was.
00:08:41
Oprah: And it also doesn't change the way
you're wired because I still save toast.
00:08:45
I do.
00:08:46
I will save a toast rather than throw it away.
00:08:50
And I know there's going to be more toast,
but I still do because there's something in
00:08:55
me because when we were growing up, we had
to save it.
00:08:58
You know, you weren't allowed to like throw
food away.
00:09:00
So, that was a really big deal.
00:09:02
So, here's the deal.
00:09:04
You have now the... you get the biggest paychecks,
you have all this money, acclaim, fame, you
00:09:11
didn't have that growing up.
00:09:12
How do you raise children who have good sense,
and are also kind when they have everything?
00:09:20
Because part of what made you who you are,
is having had that eviction notice and having
00:09:25
not had everything.
00:09:27
So, how do you do that, how are you planning
to do that with your children?
00:09:30
The Rock: So, for example, with our 18-year-old
daughter, it was really important that we
00:09:34
share those stories, share the stories about
being evicted.
00:09:38
Her mom's parents were immigrants who came
over from Cuba.
00:09:43
It's important that we've always shared those
stories and also, we live, we try and keep
00:09:49
it as simple as we possibly can.
00:09:53
I live, we have a farm in Virginia, happily
to say that I've moved my family here to Atlanta,
00:10:01
so…
00:10:02
Oprah: Yaay!
00:10:03
The Rock: Place 30, 45 minutes away where
it's very quiet, but also just making sure
00:10:10
that we continue to instill in the babies
and the kids the value of $1 and what it means
00:10:15
and the value of food and always saying how
grateful we are and the things that we're
00:10:20
grateful for, especially at that young age.
00:10:22
Oprah: So, I want to know, how is success
different from the way you imagined it would
00:10:27
be?
00:10:28
The Rock: I never imagined this.
00:10:32
I, at one time when I was a kid, I did feel
in my heart and in my gut, that I was... that
00:10:40
I thought, I think the world's going to hear
from me.
00:10:42
I don't know how, but I do feel that way.
00:10:45
But I never thought in my mind, it was this
level of success or fame even.
00:10:49
It was, I don't know how but the world is
going to hear from me.
00:10:52
So, you know, which is maybe why you know,
at times, I could walk around and I could
00:10:57
look at things like I'm a big kid, like everything
can at times can be like I'm in Willy Wonka's
00:11:03
Chocolate Factory, where I'm just really in
awe of everything that's really happening
00:11:07
around me.
00:11:08
Oprah: What's the first thing you splurged
on when you realize you had enough to splurge?
00:11:13
The Rock: Okay.
00:11:16
So, all right.
00:11:18
The first thing I splurged on, so when I was
a kid, 14 years old, 13, 14 years old, in
00:11:23
my mind, what it meant to be successful, it
was a Rolex watch, right.
00:11:32
So, there was such a valuable lesson out of
this.
00:11:35
So, I thought for years oh, wait, everyone,
every successful man has a Rolex watch and
00:11:41
has diamonds in it.
00:11:43
So, when I finally was making a little bit
of money, and this was in 1999, and I thought,
00:11:49
okay, and by the way, I was still living in
an apartment paying monthly rent but again.
00:11:54
Oprah: Oh, you renting and buying a Rolex?
00:11:56
The Rock: I was just renting, horrible financial…
00:12:00
Oprah: You should definitely if you're buying
a Rolex, okay.
00:12:04
The Rock: Yes.
00:12:05
This is what not to do.
00:12:06
So, I thought, this is it.
00:12:08
I'm gonna splurge and I went, and I got myself
a Rolex.
00:12:12
And I wore it at that time I was wrestling.
00:12:14
I was in the ring, not for a match, but I
was doing an interview in the ring.
00:12:19
And I wore it in the ring and a melee broke
out, which always happens in the wild world
00:12:23
of professional wrestling.
00:12:25
One of the wrestlers fell on the Rolex when
it came off, it broke, live TV and you see
00:12:33
me, “Oh my gosh, my Rolex.”
00:12:36
And I'm supposed to be in the moment and wrestling
these other guys.
00:12:40
“Oh, no.
00:12:41
My Rolex.”
00:12:42
Like, you can see the tape I'm trying to get
my Rolex and somebody's like kicking me in
00:12:47
the ribs while I’m trying to get it.
00:12:48
So, I finally got my Rolex back.
00:12:50
I go backstage, I look at it, I'm heartbroken
now.
00:12:53
This is my thing.
00:12:54
And I go home that night and I remember immediately
thinking this is a sign.
00:13:01
And I…
00:13:02
Oprah: Oh, I believe in signs, you know.
00:13:04
The Rock: Yes, it's a sign and I don't need
it.
00:13:09
And it wasn't right for me at that time, and
I never got anything like that again.
00:13:13
Oprah: And so now do you just, do splurge
carefully?
00:13:17
The Rock: I do.
00:13:18
I'm not a big bling guy or anything like that.
00:13:22
And I always want to just make sure that now
the splurge is usually with property.
00:13:27
Like we have two properties that way, because...
00:13:29
Oprah: I believe in real estate.
00:13:30
The Rock: Yes, Yes, you do.
00:13:32
Yes.
00:13:33
Oprah: I do, I Yes.
00:13:34
I love property the way some women love shoes,
you know?
00:13:37
I do.
00:13:38
I do.
00:13:39
Because God isn't making any more land.
00:13:40
Okay.
00:13:41
The Rock: That's right.
00:13:42
Oprah: This is what we got here on the planet
Earth.
00:13:43
You're not getting any more.
00:13:44
The Rock: Yeah, that's right.
00:13:45
And also, the properties are our anchor.
00:13:47
It's where we could be comfortable.
00:13:49
And so that and I have a few pickup trucks.
00:13:53
That’s it.
00:13:54
Oprah: Just a few.
00:13:55
So, I remember reading this, that it was like
WrestleMania 13 and you're still being called
00:14:01
Rocky.
00:14:03
And there were a bunch of fans at the time
who were jeering you and they were saying
00:14:10
unkind things.
00:14:11
And you used that moment and literally turned
on your heels and turned it around.
00:14:17
And you know, this whole vision tour is about
people who've been knocked down sometimes
00:14:22
in life, everybody, you know, not in a ring,
but have had those moments where you didn't
00:14:27
feel like the rest of the world saw you for
who you needed to be.
00:14:32
How were you able to turn that around?
00:14:34
The Rock: Okay.
00:14:35
So, thank you for bringing that up.
00:14:36
So, this is, it was a turning point in my
career, and it really allowed me to grow.
00:14:45
And it really allowed me just to be me and
be anchored in with who I am.
00:14:50
So, when I first started wrestling, the idea
was, well, why don't you call yourself Rocky
00:14:55
Maivia out of respect for your dad, Rocky
Johnson, and your grandfather, Peter Maivia.
00:15:01
I hated the name.
00:15:04
And I thought well, I just wanted to make
my own way.
00:15:06
And I wanted to be independent.
00:15:08
I love my family, but I don't want to do it
like that because it feels like I'm trying
00:15:11
to leverage their fame.
00:15:14
The powers that be said, “No, that's your
name.”
00:15:19
I was also told, well, when you go out and
you wrestle, you have to smile.
00:15:27
I want you to smile big.
00:15:28
This is in the WWE.
00:15:29
Oprah: Why are you smiling if you…
00:15:31
The Rock: Because the idea was, I was a rookie
in the wrestling business.
00:15:38
I was a, what's called the wrestling business
as a term called babyface, which is a good
00:15:42
guy.
00:15:43
I was being groomed as a good guy, wrestler,
young.
00:15:47
The idea was you're grateful, grateful for
the opportunity so when you go out there,
00:15:52
I want you to smile.
00:15:53
You can't smile enough.
00:15:54
And I thought, “Well, what if I lose?
00:15:57
Nope.
00:15:58
Yes, exactly.
00:16:00
You still gotta smile and it just didn't feel
right.
00:16:02
That didn't sit right with me.
00:16:03
So, a few months later, the company made me
the Intercontinental Champion.
00:16:11
And then a month later we go into the annual
biggest event.
00:16:17
It's like the SuperBowl of wrestling, WrestleMania
and it was WrestleMania 13.
00:16:22
By the time I got to Chicago WrestleMania,
16,000 people in the middle of the ring when
00:16:31
I was in the ring and I'm supposed to be a
good guy and they're supposed to cheer me;
00:16:34
16,000 people were chanting, “Rocky sucks”.
00:16:40
Thank you for laughing, the few of you.
00:16:42
But it was...
00:16:43
Oprah: Can you hear the word sucks clearly
when you're on the mat Rocky sucks?
00:16:48
The Rock: Yes.
00:16:49
Oprah: Yeah, Rocky sucks.
00:16:50
The Rock: There's a reverb that happens in
the arena.
00:16:53
And when in unison, not one person, “You
suck.”
00:17:02
16,000.
00:17:04
And I was, I remember laying there in the
ring and the referee said to me, “Don't
00:17:10
look to them” And it was crippling for me.
00:17:14
So, then, at that time, the powers that be
thought, this isn't going to work.
00:17:21
And for whatever reason, people are not liking
you, and they're not connecting with you.
00:17:27
And so, in that moment, it was very defining
because I asked them if I could just be myself
00:17:36
and if I could go out there, and if I can
speak to the crowd, and if I could just be
00:17:42
myself and be authentic.
00:17:45
And if I don't want to smile, I don't smile.
00:17:47
If I want to laugh, I laugh.
00:17:48
If I want to sing, I sing whatever it is,
I just want to be me.
00:17:52
Can I have that for one minute of live TV
time?
00:17:58
The powers that be at that time, Vince McMahon
said, “You got it.”
00:18:03
So, on Raw live TV, I grabbed a microphone
and I said, “I may be a lot of things but
00:18:11
sucks isn't one of them.”
00:18:15
And I said something to the effect of basically
it's not a this thing, it’s not a that thing,
00:18:20
it's a me being myself thing.
00:18:22
And before you know it, I guess the moral
of the story is the importance and the power
00:18:28
of finding your identity and being true to
who you are.
00:18:31
Even in that wild world of pro wrestling,
it still applies to everyone in the room,
00:18:36
and how powerful that could be because there
was a true shift and click moment.
00:18:41
And I never looked back and I became, fortunately,
the biggest draw that the business has ever
00:18:45
seen.
00:18:46
Oprah: Wow.
00:18:47
You know, I was talking earlier about intention,
and you have acquired and continue to acquire
00:18:53
a lot as you're continuing to build Seven
Bucks.
00:18:58
What is the purest, highest, truest intention
behind it all?
00:19:03
Because I know, at the end of the day, it
isn't all about fame and it isn't all about
00:19:08
making money.
00:19:09
So, the reason why you want to continue to
grow and succeed is what?
00:19:14
The Rock: To create an amazing experience
for people.
00:19:19
And that's important to me because that's
an opportunity that I have to give joy and
00:19:25
help, whether it transforms or a movie or
a thing or whatever it is like the audience's
00:19:31
experience, audience experience is something
that's deeply personal to me.
00:19:36
And I think that goes back to when I would,
so before the bright lights of the WWE, I
00:19:40
was wrestling in a small wrestling company.
00:19:42
I would wrestle in flea markets and use car
dealerships.
00:19:46
You put a ring in the used car dealership
in the parking lot, but the reason why I bring
00:19:50
that up and state fairs, but there was an
intimacy there and even at that level, it
00:19:55
was always about well, how can I send the
audience home happy and make people feel good?
00:20:01
And by the way, I also feel like if you're
in a position to make people feel good, that
00:20:04
is such a powerful thing.
00:20:07
It's such a powerful.
00:20:08
Oprah: Yeah.
00:20:09
I know we did you for a masterclass for OWN
and something you said really stuck with me,
00:20:11
that the most powerful thing you can ever
do is to be yourself.
00:20:16
The Rock: Be yourself.
00:20:18
Yes.
00:20:19
Oprah: And you were talking about that earlier,
about that moment that you learned to be authentic
00:20:22
is when everything changed.
00:20:24
The Rock: That's when everything changed.
00:20:25
It's like a shift and click moment when we,
for me when I realize there's great power
00:20:30
and being myself, same thing for all of us.
00:20:33
But I do.
00:20:34
I believe it's the most powerful thing that
we could be.
00:20:36
It's easier said than done because I struggled
for a long time trying to figure out well,
00:20:40
what's my identity?
00:20:41
And who am I?
00:20:42
And, for example, when I got to Hollywood,
the very first time I got to Hollywood in
00:20:45
the early 2000s, I was told, again, well,
if you want to be a star, then maybe you shouldn't
00:20:53
talk about wrestling, maybe you shouldn't
go to the gym as much, maybe you shouldn't
00:20:57
raise your silly eyebrow.
00:20:59
And you know, there was a lot of things like
that, and when you don't know you buy into
00:21:02
it.
00:21:03
And so, I thought, okay, well maybe...
00:21:05
So, don't call yourself The Rock.
00:21:07
Okay.
00:21:08
So, again, I went through that in process
for years trying to figure out who I was.
00:21:13
And then when you look back at my earlier
career, the films I was doing, they were good,
00:21:18
but just not, you know, like “Oh, that's
how I like to see him because he is his true
00:21:23
authentic self.”
00:21:24
Oprah: And have you had a sweet revenge moment?
00:21:29
The Rock: Yeah, who sucks now, huh?
00:21:37
Yeah.
00:21:38
Oprah: One of those.
00:21:44
The Rock: One of those.
00:21:46
Yes, it was...
00:21:47
Okay.
00:21:48
So, at this time when I felt like okay, I
really need to make a change in my career,
00:21:53
I need to be me, and I want to have the kind
of career that is a global career.
00:22:01
And I said, I am not quite sure how we're
going to do it.
00:22:03
But I need you to buy into the vision with
me and I'm willing to put in the work with
00:22:06
my own two hands as I was telling my agency
at that time in Hollywood.
00:22:13
And they all looked at me like I had three
heads and they thought, well, we just don't...
00:22:19
They've thought, okay, sure, sure, sure, sure,
kind of placating me.
00:22:23
And then eventually I'd left them and then
decided, you know what?
00:22:27
My name is The Rock and I come from the world
of professional wrestling.
00:22:30
And I look the way I look.
00:22:31
And I talk the way I talk, and I love to work
out.
00:22:34
And you know what, this is who I'm going to
be.
00:22:36
And then here I am today.
00:22:38
So, for those who said, we don't get it, kind
of sweet revenge.
00:22:43
Oprah: So, you posted on Instagram in November,
“Joy and hope cost nothing” remember this?
00:22:48
The Rock: Yes.
00:22:49
Oprah: And yet, it's the most powerful gift
that we can all give.
00:22:52
And that's the real magic to life.
00:22:54
So, after everything that you've been through,
particularly this past week, what are you
00:23:00
now most grateful for today?
00:23:02
The Rock: I'm most grateful for life.
00:23:06
I'm most grateful for an opportunity, I’m
most grateful for my family.
00:23:13
I'm most...
00:23:18
Gratitude is a big thing with me.
00:23:19
I mean, it is truly my anchor.
00:23:21
Yes…
00:23:22
Oprah: Mine too.
00:23:23
The Rock: It's my anchor, and I wake up with
a heart full of gratitude, and even in death
00:23:28
and even when things don't go right and even
though I didn't make it to the NFL me, making
00:23:32
it to the NFL was the best thing that never
happened.
00:23:37
Yes.
00:23:40
Because it also gave me a great sense of gratitude
to be here.
00:23:42
So, I would say that it would be...
00:23:47
And also, I want to tell you, and I’ll tell
you this Oprah, and I want to tell you guys
00:23:51
like I was so excited to come here and do
this with you and share a little bit of my
00:23:57
story and background and any kind of wisdom
that I have learned over the years to share
00:24:00
with you guys.
00:24:01
But I want you to know that especially this
week of just, you know, laying my dad to rest
00:24:06
I needed this from you, and I thank you, truly.
00:24:09
Thank you.
00:24:10
Oprah: Thank you.
00:24:11
Thank you.
00:24:12
The Rock: Thank you.
00:24:32
Thank you so much.
00:24:33
I did.
00:24:34
I love you back, I truly do.
00:24:35
Oprah: That’s a good mana y'all just gave.
00:24:36
It’s a good mana.
00:24:38
The Rock: Thank you.
00:24:39
I did.
00:24:40
I needed this and I needed this.
00:24:42
I needed the love and this mana because what
I also realized is and I felt it coming in
00:24:46
is that you know you go to Rock concerts and
things and events and wrestling matches or
00:24:50
whatever.
00:24:51
But you know, when you come to this room and
you have thousands, 12, 13, 15,000 people
00:24:57
who have one intention which is to be better
and give so much love and receive so much
00:25:02
love, it's a powerful thing.
00:25:04
Oprah: Yeah, it is a very powerful thing.
00:25:06
Thank you for being here today to share it.
