Throughout his career in entertainment and athletics, the 52-year-old actor has sustained multiple injuries, ranging from muscle rips to reconstructive surgery. But he doesn’t seem to be downhearted about this latest injury. He said,
“Listen, if you guys have any advice, any anti-inflammatory advice, please let me know,”
The Rock is still working, though, and even making jokes about his predicament. He ended the video saying,
“I have to tell you, even with all the advanced medicine that could take care of this, it already feels better. Let’s get to the gym. Here we go,”
Many people are still inspired by Johnson’s unwavering work ethic and upbeat outlook. He is still regarded as one of the most adored and respected celebrities in entertainment because of his ability to manage suffering and misfortune with dignity and humor.
