Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently shared a heartfelt post on Instagram expressing his regret for not saying a proper goodbye to his late father, Rocky “Soulman” Johnson.
In the post, Johnson reminisced about his father’s historic moment in 1983 when he became the first Black Heavyweight Tag Team champion along with Tony Atlas.
He described his father as a trailblazer who paved the way for men of all colors in the sports and entertainment industry.
Johnson expressed his regret over not reconciling their complicated father-son relationship before his father’s sudden passing.
He acknowledged his father’s tough love and strict upbringing, stating that he is now grateful for the lessons learned.
Since his father’s death in 2020, Johnson has been open about his regrets and the unresolved issues in their relationship.
In a Father’s Day post last year, he urged others to reconcile with their fathers, even in the face of complicated situations.
