In a recent interview, the actor revealed that he feared receiving a cancer diagnosis and did not even tell his wife what he was going through.
Dwayne Johnson, also known as “The Rock”, recently experienced a major scare after discovering a painful lump in his left testicle while taking a shower.
Speaking with Esquire magazine, the “Jumanji” star said he found the lump on a Friday and spent the entire weekend worried about the situation, but chose not to tell his wife, Lauren Hashian, whom he has been married to for seven years.
“I didn’t even tell Lauren,” Johnson told the publication. “I didn’t want to worry her before I knew whether it was something I should be worried about.”
According to Johnson, he visited a doctor the following Monday and was told that the leading diagnosis was epididymitis, an inflammation of the tube located at the back of the testicle. However, he was also warned that testicular cancer was a possibility.
Johnson, 54, revealed that he then had to spend another 24 hours without knowing exactly what was wrong. An ultrasound performed the day after his appointment confirmed that it was not cancer, but rather epididymitis, just as the doctor had initially suspected.
The “Moana” actor assured that the scare is now behind him and that everything is fine. “By the way, I’m fine,” he told Esquire. “But I didn’t know that at the time, and it was really painful.”
