Actor Dwayne Johnson has opened up about his days in poverty in his Thanksgiving message.
The "Baywatch" actor shared a photo of himself with his family on Instagram on the occasion of Thanksgiving, saying, "After we bowed our heads in prayer, we went around the table and everyone shared what they were thankful for.
"Beautiful seeing and listening to everyone speak from their heart. Tears, laughter and boundless gratitude."
The 45-year-old actor also quipped that he is not in the mood to handover the "Sexiest Man Alive" title to Blake Shelton, who has been crowned by People Magazine for the current year.
"Personally, I'm a little surprised no one expressed how thankful they were that THE Sexiest Man Alive (I refuse to relinquish my title to Blake Shelton or any man) was sitting at the table," he said.
Addressing the "elephant in the room", Johnson shed a light about his past struggles and experiences during the holidays.
"Jokes aside, it was a very special Thanksgiving. As my mom pointed out earlier in the day, there was a time back in '87 when we couldn't even afford Thanksgiving dinner and was praying someone would invite us over their house to eat.
"We were in a tough spot back then, but we got through it. And here we are today. One big, extended, blended, slightly crazy, loving, grateful ohana," he said.
