Dwayne Johnson makes bombshell claim ahead of live-action ‘Moana’ release

Dwayne Johnson recently made bombshell claims ahead of live-action Moana release.

The American wrestler-turned-actor revealed that he experienced a nerve-wrecking health scare earlier this year.

Dwayne, known as The Rock, recalled a lump when he was taking a shower during Jumanji promotions.

After this finding, the Red Notice actor made a doctor’s appointment two days later, thinking that lump would get better.

“I didn’t even tell my wife Lauren,” said the 54-year-old in a new interview with Esquire magazine.

Elaborating on why he didn’t inform his wife, Dwayne mentioned that he didn’t want to “worry” her before he got to know what it’s about.

Later, the Jungle Cruise actor shared that his doctor felt the lump and told him it was “probably epididymitis,” which according to the Mayo Clinic, is an inflammation of the coiled tube at the back of the testicle.

Dwayne was asked to go for ultrasound but he had to wait for some time because of a promotional event for his new movie, Jumanji, at the time.

“I had to live with that for those twenty-four hours, not knowing and I had to be on all day, joking around, making speeches,” he told the outlet.

However, Dwayne added that he’s “fine” now and it was “a case of epididymitis”.

“I didn’t know that then, and the thing was really painful,” he added.
