Johnson talked about depression and attempted suicide

His interview with the famous 45-year-old actor began by telling about the dream of his youth:

"When I was little, I was very good at playing soccer. I was predicted a brilliant career, and I was very happy about it. But pretty soon I was disappointed. I got numerous injuries, and the career of a football player for me no longer existed. It's clear that I could play amateur football, but no more. Then I experienced great pain. I was offended by fate for allowing this, for myself, for my carelessness, and for many others. That was a very difficult time. I suffered from depression and constantly wanted to cry. It was terrible".

After that, Duane told about a terrible story that turned his whole life. She touched his mother, who tried to commit suicide in front of her son. Here are some words Johnson recalls this moment from his life:

"When I was 15, we constantly lacked money in our family. I remember how we were put up for debts to the street, and we were left without a roof over our heads. Then my mother sat behind the wheel of our car and went with us somewhere. On the question of where we eat, she was silent. And then my mother in the middle of the road stopped the car, got out of it and began to walk on the opposite side to meet the moving cars. When I saw this, I ran to her and dragged her to the side of the road. Only now I understand that a miracle saved us from destruction. The most interesting thing is that my mom does not remember this. The doctor explained to me the name of this mental disorder, but now I will not name it. Over time, my mother returned to her normal state, but this case never remembered. "
