The Rock Recalls His Father Getting Kicked Out Of His Home At 13 Years Old

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was a recent guest on “The Pivot” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including the time his father Rocky Johnson was kicked out of his home.

Johnson revealed that his mom’s then boyfriend decided to kick his father out of the home. He said,

“It was Christmas. My dad’s dad had died I think a year earlier and there was a new boyfriend in the mix. He came over and they had their turkey and he peed on the turkey. The boyfriend did. He got drunk and peed on the turkey. My dad was 13. They got in a fight. My dad took a toy gun and he drew a line in the dirt and said, ‘If you cross that, I’m gonna take this shovel and I’m gonna kill you.’ He was drunk. He crossed the line.”

He continued, “My dad, at 13, he grabbed the shovel and laid him out cold as a block of ice. Cops came. As he was out, the cops looked at my grandmother and said, ‘When he gets up, one of two things are going to happen. Either he’s gonna kill him or he’s gonna kill him. One of ’em got to go.’ And my grandmother looked at my dad and said, ‘You’re out.’”
