In a new interview published on Thursday with Esquire, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson spoke on a recent medical scare, which involved a visit to see his doctor after feeling a lump on his testicle while showering. The doctor told him the lump was likely to be epididymitis, which is an inflammation of a tube at the back of the testicle, but that it could also be cancer.
Johnson underwent an ultrasound the the next day.
“I didn’t even tell Lauren. I didn’t want to worry her before I knew if it was anything to even worry about. By the way: I’m fine. But I didn’t know that then, and the thing was really painful. So I had to live with that for those twenty-four hours, not knowing – and I had to be on all day, joking around, making speeches.”
