Suicide almost took someone VERY precious to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Early on Thursday morning, the 45-year-old actor took to Instagram to reflect on the suicide attempt his mother, Ata Johnson, made 30 years ago. Johnson felt inspired to open up about this tough topic as he was shooting his HBO show, Ballers, in a cemetery.

The Moana star shared:
Intense stuff. This isn’t the first time that Dwayne’s been candid about his mother’s attempt at suicide.
For OWN‘s Oprah’s Master Class in 2015, the Tinseltown hunk shared similar details about the incident, including that the episode was brought on following a family fight. Man, oh man.
We encourage anyone who is struggling with suicidal thoughts to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
And we thank The Rock for, once again, sharing this story with all of us.
