Dwayne Johnson reveals cancer scare, Oscar buzz, and a pledge to keep politics private
In an Esquire cover feature ahead of Jumanji/Moana press and ongoing awards chatter, Dwayne Johnson reveals he faced a cancer scare after a lump on his testicle prompted an ultrasound, which ultimately showed epididymitis rather than cancer. He also acknowledges Oscar buzz and a lack of a nomination, saying it would have been incredible but doesn’t define him, and he plans to return to work. Johnson also says he will keep politics off his public platform, noting a prior Biden endorsement caused division, while remaining open to discussions about AI and other topics.
