Oprah's 2020 Vision Tour Visionaries: The Rock Interview

something so powerful, yes, it is so powerful. I know we gave you a master class of your own and something you said there really stuck with me, that the most powerful thing you can do is be yourself, be yourself, yeah, yeah, and and and you were talking about that before about that moment in the one where you do learn to be authentic, when everything changed, that's when everything changed, it's like a moment of change and click when We for me, when I realize that there is great power and that being myself is the same for all of us, but I think it's the most powerful thing we could be.

It's easier said than done because I struggled for a long time trying to figure out what my identity is and who I am and, for example, when I first came to Hollywood in the early 2000s, I was said again, Well, if you want to be a star, then maybe you shouldn't talk about wrestling, maybe you shouldn't go to the gym so much, maybe you shouldn't raise your silly eyebrow and you know there were a lot of things like that, but when you don't know, you accept it and then I thought, well, maybe so don't call yourself the

rock

, okay, so again I went through that whole process for years trying to figure out who I was and then when I look back at my previous career, the Movies he was making were good, but not, you know, oh, that's how I like to look at him because he's his true authentic self and did you have a sweet revenge moment?

Who sucks now? Yes, it was good. So right now when I felt good, I really need to make a change in my career. I need to be me and I want to have the kind of career that's a global career and I said, "I'm not really sure how we're going to do it." I will do it, but I need you to accept the

vision

with me and I'm willing to work with my own hands, like I was telling my agency at that time in Hollywood and they all looked at me like I had three heads and they thought, well, just no, they thought it was okay, sure, sure, sure, it kind of appeased me and I finally left them and then I decided, you know, what my name is the

rock

and I come from the world. of professional wrestling and I look the way I look and I talk the way I talk and I would love to work out and you know what I'll be and then here I am today so for those who said no I don't get it as sweet revenge so that you posted on Instagram in November, joy and hope cost nothing, remember this, yes and yet it is the most powerful gift we can all give and that is the true magic of life, so after all that you have been especially over the past week, what are you most grateful for today?

I am very grateful for life. I am very grateful for an opportunity. I am very grateful for my family. I am very grateful. It's a big thing for me. I mean, it's truly my anchor, yeah, yeah, right, it's my anchor and I wake up with a heart full of gratitude and even in death and even when things don't go well and even though I didn't make it to the NFL, making it to the NFL. It was the best thing that never happened, yeah, because it also gave me a great feeling of gratitude to be here, so I would say that's how it would be and I also want to tell you and I'll tell you this, Oprah, and I want to tell you guys like I was so excited to to come here and do this with you and share a little bit of my story, my background and any kind of wisdom that I've learned over the years to share with you, but I want you to know that especially this week of Just You Know, Let It Rest to my dad.
