Speaking in the clip about how he stays motivated, The Rock said: “Like so many of you guys out there, we are busy, we are on this treadmill of life, there’s no stop button.

“We’re going and going and going, we’re tired, we have babies, we have bills to pay, we have school to go to, we have jobs to go to, we have relationships, we have a lot of stuff that just makes us tired throughout the day.

“I’m putting on my workout stuff, I’m tying my shoes, and and I’m like, ‘S***, I should just call it a night. No-one’s ever going to know, everyone’s asleep, maybe I’ll just pick it up tomorrow.'”

When this happens Johnson revealed what he does to push himself to carry on, as he added: “I try to remember what it was like when I didn’t have much at all; those seven bucks days.

“I try to remember that, and usually that gets my ass in gear. When I think back to the days of having seven bucks, and what it took to get to the position that I’m in now.

“If that doesn’t motivate me, I’ll ask myself, I’ll say: ‘How bad of a motherf***** do you think you are? How bad do you really think you are?’

“And then I’ll have this conversation with myself like I’m crazy, like, ‘Alright, it’s up to you. You think you’re a bad motherf*****? Well go out and prove it.

“‘No one’s watching. Everyone’s asleep. No one will ever know’. Usually then I’m OK and I’m telling myself, ‘F*** you. I’m ready to go.’

“So that is my answer as much as that is inappropriate and sorry for the kids that are watching with the language that I used, but that is the kind of stuff I tell myself.”

Johnson is looking in incredible shape ahead of the release of Black Adam in 2022, where he plays the lead character of the superhero film.

The ten-time world WWE champion was recently urged to return to wrestling by John Cena following his own comeback.

He told E!: “Dwayne Johnson is a star in his own universe. There is no one like him. There will never be anyone like him.

“For him to be gracious enough to return to WWE, it’s own global entertainment phenomenon, that’s great for WWE and it is great for The Rock.”

Cena added: “As a fan of WWE, I really hope he returns. I think it would be special for everyone.”
