Proud Hollywood daddy, Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock, shared a throwback picture of himself back in 1996 when he couldn’t afford to buy a bed and had to pick a used mattress from a dumpster.

Sharing a side by side photo of himself in the same outfit, the Wrestler turned actor wrote:

”When I took this iconic absurdity of a picture in 1996 I was one year removed from sleeping on a used mattress I took from a garbage dumpster in the back of an hourly sex motel. Couldn’t afford to buy a bed so we do what we gotta do to get by. You can imagine all the fun colorful bodily fluids I tried my best to clean off.

21 years later I’m taking the same photo backstage hosting #SaturdayNightLive for the fifth time. If you’re going thru your own tough times “used mattress” stage, do your best to have faith things’ll get better and always be willing to outwork your competition because you never know where life is gonna take you.
