Early life
O'Hurn was born in Sacramento, California, the second oldest of cleaning company owner Paige (née Hillenbrand) and Adam Hurn, who separated when he was nine years old. He has four siblings, sisters Aspyn and Carly, and brothers Dagan and Drake. He is of English, Irish, French and German descent. Brock added the O' because he says his family's original name in Ireland was O'Hearn and he wanted to get back to its roots. O'Hurn attended nine different schools in Orange County, Palm Springs, and San Bernardino, California, causing his education to suffer. O'Hurn discovered bodybuilding during his sophomore year in high school after being dissatisfied with his body, weighing at at the time.
At the age of 12, he knew he wanted to become an actor. O'Hurn starred in his first play as "Jack" from 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.
O'Hurn swept floors and bagged bread at a bakery. After graduation, O'Hurn briefly worked with his uncle's company that installed heating and cooling systems before getting a job in Mission Viejo, Orange County for Abercrombie & Fitch and subsequently working as a salesman for True Religion, which taught him the value of customer service and helped him overcome his natural shyness.
In an 2015 interview with Buzzfeed, he said: "Don't get me wrong. I like Abercrombie. There's nothing wrong with them. They're awesome. It's just... That wasn't my dream, you know. That's not my goal. That's not what I was passionate about."
