If there were to be a Mount Rushmore of Hollywood action icons, Dwayne Johnson’s face would certainly be up there. Such is the heft of The Rock’s contribution to American cinema. An entertainer par excellence, Johnson honed his skills in the Professional wrestling world of WWE. His long stint in Vince McMahon’s arena also gave him an insane physique which is widely considered one of the best in Hollywood.
While haters cry about steroids and fans point out his exceptional genetics, the fact remains that Dwayne Johnson has an S-tier physique. However, the secret to his amazing body might lie elsewhere. In a YouTube video, the Black Adam star insinuated that s*x is what gives him the motivation to achieve and maintain the titan body that he has.
Dwayne Johnson’s Secret to Motivation
Taking to his YouTube channel titled ‘The Rock’, Dwayne Johnson once gave his fans advice on love in his video, The Rock’s Love Advice – Seven Bucks April Q&A. A fan asked Johnson, “How do you find the motivation to work out every day with having a partner, baby’s mama, kids, and a job that’s nonstop?” Well, Johnson has always been someone who is dedicated to the gym and has been an inspiration to many. However, if you are looking for a philosophical answer or a to-do list from Johnson, then you are in the wrong place.
Johnson stated that everyone needs to look for balance and anchors in their lives. The Red Notice actor gave all the credit for finding his anchor to none other than his wife, Lauren Hashian. The duo started dating all the way back in 2007 and have been together since, getting married, and raising beautiful children.
“All jokes aside, we always look for that balance in life. All of us, we look for that balance, we look for that anchor, what those anchors can be. I am very lucky that I have a woman in my life, a partner I have been with for 10 years, Lauren Hashian, that’s my lovely lady, my baby mama, and who helps me find that anchor.”
Next, Johnson revealed the secret to how he manages to stay motivated all the time and let’s just say it’s quite a unique answer!
“How do I find the motivation to workout? Well, I just, I bust in the bedroom, completely naked, when Lauren’s laying there…Here it is. Here it is, dreams come true, it’s called heaven.”
Well, we are pretty sure this was not the answer his fan would’ve been expecting. To each their own though, right?
A more Serious Answer from Dwayne Johnson
Elsewhere, Johnson once again talked about the motivation behind his dedication to working out, and this time, he had a different answer. He stated that when he puts weights on to the bars, he isn’t just adding plates. Instead, he is adding his anxiety, fear, hopes, and so on onto it. Johnson continued that whatever is going on outside the gym is what he’s working with inside as well.
“I don’t just load these bars with metal plates. I put everything on them. My anxieties, my fears, my hopes, my dreams, and my responsibilities as a provider, a father, a husband, a businessman. And some even say, a leader. Whatever I am dealing with out there, that’s what I am working through in here.”
He also added that going to the gym is all about the small promises one makes to their own selves. According to Johnson, the gym helps you through the voice in your head that says you can quit if you want, but it’s all about not giving the voice all that power. Amen to that! He has time and again been blamed for using steroids to build his physique, but Johnson has always stated that it’s his dedication and discipline that got him here.
