Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is speaking out about the last time he talked to his late father, Rocky Johnson, with whom he had a deeply complicated relationship.

The 53-year-old actor said they fought over his father’s memoir. Johnson said Rocky’s book contained quotes, ostensibly written by him, that gave his dad credit for his success.

"It hurts," he told The New York Times Magazine in an in-depth interview published Sunday.

Johnson's father, a former pro wrestler himself, had just published "Soulman: The Rocky Johnson Story," at the time, and Johnson said he was shocked to read that he had written the foreword for the book — even though he hadn’t.
