An interviewer help changed Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's life with a simple question, he explained in a viral video.
As a WWE legend and one of the most famous people in the world, film star Johnson has impacted so many lives and continues to do so. But Speedy Morman, a journalist and on-camera personality, has been credited with helping incite a change in the People's Champ life from what he asked him in a recent interview.
Rock gets asked a whole bunch of questions in various junkets, red carpets and talkshows but one in particular from Morman made him think long and hard. Although he's a megastar, Morman wondered whether the 52-year-old is able to have much fun because he's always on the go.
Speaking in a video on his TikTok, he said: "A couple of weeks ago I interviewed The Rock and during that interview preparation, I realised this guy probably doesn't have much fun cause he's always f***ing working and wonder deep down, if he's actually happy? So I told him that in the interview."
He asked The Rock, "You, if I'm honest, don't seem like you have a lot of fun. Do you have fun, do you enjoy this?".

In response, the Fast and Furious star said "I love this question" and then admitted, "I gotta think about that".
Rock then proceeded to reference the chat in another media obligation weeks later, saying it was "one of my favourite interviews ever" and revealing the discussion sparked conversation in his family and made him think he should have more fun.
He recently took to Instagram to reveal he had been taking on the advice and was making a point of relaxing after a relentless period of work.

"I'm doing something right now that I have not done in easily over a year - put my feet up," Rock told his fans.
"We all work hard and we should enjoy and put our feet up. I know a lot of you guys do that well and I need to do a better job of it - of stopping and just enjoying the hard work. I'm on my way. Step one."
Reflecting on the "crazy" realisation that was able to spark a shift in someone as successful as The Rock, Morman said: "My job is to ask questions so asking thought provoking questions that could somehow incite a change in someone of that stature is really all you could ask for. He sent me a voice message and I would never share that."
