Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson confirms he tested positive for COVID-19
The Moana actor even compared testing positive for COVID-19 to recovering from "nasty injuries," which he endured during his wrestling career, and to being evicted.
"The reason I feel this is different is my No. 1 priority is to always protect my family, protect my children, my loved ones... So this one was a real kick in the gut. But I am happy to tell you guys that we as a family are good," said Dwayne, confirming that he is no longer contagious.
"We are counting our blessings right now, because we are well aware that it isn't always the case that you get on the other end of COVID-19.
"Some of my best friends have lost their parents, their loved ones, to this virus that is so incredibly relentless and unforgiving and it is insidious."
'The Rock' confirmed that he contracted the virus after visiting close family friends, who are said to be "devastated" to have passed it on to Johnson's family, despite being very disciplined when it came to social distancing.
In the caption of his post, he encouraged all of his fans and followers to boost their immune systems, wear their masks and to stay positive during the pandemic.
Dwayne Johnson joins a long list of celebrities who have overcome the illness, including Academy Award winner, Tom Hanks, and Breaking Bad star, Bryan Cranston.
