found that with depression one of the most important things you could realize
is that you're not alone you're not the first to go through it you're not gonna
be the last to go through it and oftentimes it happens you just you feel
like you're alone and you feel like it's only you and you're in your bubble and
and I wish I had someone at that time who who could just pull me aside they
it's gonna be okay let me okay so wish I knew that just gotta remember hold on to
that fundamental quality of faith have faith
and on the other side of your pain is something good after about a month and a
half of staying in that little apartment and cleaning I got a phone call from the
head coach of the team who cut me head coach of the Calgary Stampeders
he called me and he said hey I know we cut you but I'd like you to come back I
said okay I appreciate that coach thank you very much I'll think about it
you said okay great I hung up the phone and my dad said gonna do it right I said
no I don't think so I think I'm done with that
and he goes what I said my guts tells me I'm done he said what he gonna do I took
a deep breath I said I'd like to get into the business he said what business
I said the wrestling business he says you are throwing it all away
it is a worse mistake you will ever make he said you're ruining your career I
said maybe I'll be no good but I feel like in my heart I have to do this and I
either need you to train me or need you to not train me
my dad rose to the occasion I've tried and it wound up being one of the
greatest chapters in my life I remember I had great angst every night before I
went out because I was not able to be myself
my very first WrestleMania biggest show of the year the Superbowl of wrestling
that night 20,000 fans started chanting rocky sucks it was a sobering moment and
that was the beginning of the end of my initial run in the WWE few weeks later a
tour tendon to my knee and I was out for the rest of the summer
and I came to the realization before I went back that it wasn't me personally
that they didn't like it was that I wasn't being me I wasn't being real
wasn't being authentic who is this guy in wrestling who's smiling when he's
getting beat Buicks later I got a call from the WWE and I spoke to Vince
McMahon he said when you come back we could continue to shove you down
people's throats or we could turn your heel because they want to boo you anyway
I said I think it's a great idea and I said before we get off the phone I have
one request so when I come back and we go live I just need two minutes live me
talking to the audience live two minutes is all I'm asking
he said okay you got a couple of weeks later I came back we're on live TV I
grabbed the microphone fans were already booing he started
chanting rocky sucks across the country higher chance of
rocky sucks
I said um I may be a lot of things
but sucks isn't one of them in that moment the rock was born and about a
month later I was a hard to see only company and
things were on fire
and the greatest lesson about that is be you be yourself whether it's in
entertainment whether it's out in public whether your
celebrity or not whatever and the most powerful thing you can be is yourself
I'm sorry by seven so whatever time my call time is and I tell this to Studios
and directors and our producers whatever tell my call types so my call time is at
seven then you back your clock up for hours and then that's when I get up and
train twice I'll get my cardio in and breakfast and I'll go hit the weights
clanging and banging we call it jack and higher but like what time do you go to
bed I mean you might shoot really late at night I'm averaging on a movie on
average probably about five hours as I get up super early generally I have this
thing where I like beating the Sun huh not just in terms of what Sun comes I
have to get up and how do I do it it's just important to find balance and I try
and do things really that I really enjoy doing and a lot of times you know it's
like in life right life brings like drama and you got to deal with this
person and they think your relationship here and all these things you try and
just kind of balance them out as best I can I got a great team around me by the
way who really really helps me well and helps me allows for me to come in and
work 12 hours a day 14 hours a day get up at 3 o'clock in the morning send out
an Instagram video where I'm talking to my cardio machine like a crazy maniac
requires a lot of people around wanted to entertain I did when I was 8 years
old I thought I was a combination of these
guys I thought I was a combination of Chuck Norris Richard Pryor Harrison Ford
and Rocky Balboa and Harrison Ford from Indiana Jones I was like all these guys
in my oh and Elvis Presley to Nate Wright lofty ambition yes exactly so I
knew at that time when I was eight I wanted to be
and entertainer and I love the idea of that and what it meant and when I was 8
I saw Indiana Jones for the first time and I love that character like wow that
guy was so heroic and it kicked ass and he knew I wanted to be something and it
was important to me to be something that was it was important to me that I didn't
fail but by the way and if I did fail at least a bit what was also important was
a lesson and I didn't realize that until I got older because you know when you're
in it you're in the grind you don't really recognize those things when
you're younger but I could recognize it now and the importance of them now and
just in terms of the drive and the determination a lot of it was experience
to get your ass kicked you get back up and you put the gloves
back on and you swing away gold this is my 10th year of acting that goal was
always to work in and I started in the action genre yeah love action and I love
kicking ass but the goal is to become a better actor and so for me in order for
me to do that I had to work in all different genres so I wanted to explore
family movies comedies action comedies family comedies mix drama into as well
so that was important to me was just to give better
