This Man Helped Dwayne Johnson At His Lowest – And Now The Rock Has Repaid Him With A Touching Gift

When Dwayne Johnson repays a favor, he likes to pay it back big. That’s what one man found out when “The Rock” donned his Santa hat and asked him to come visit the set of his sitcom Young Rock. And the gift that he had for his very good friend left them both wiping away tears.

A very big shout out

On New Year’s Day 2021 the superstar ex-wrestler took to Instagram to share his appreciation for a friend who was there for him when he was at rock bottom. Johnson also left no one in any doubt that now he’s at the very top, the actor is still the same generous guy that he’s always been.

The Rock is a giver

Johnson’s philanthropy is actually well known – particularly during the Christmas period. That’s when the superstar dons his Santa hat and puts the famous red suit under some serious strain when he becomes “Dwanta Claus.” And 2020 was no different as Johnson popped up in character on John Krasinski’s web spot Some Good News.

Big-time donations

Dwanta had stepped in after hearing that a widowed dad was struggling to get the cash together to buy Christmas gifts for his kids. And Johnson didn’t just offer a trip to Hollywood to visit the DC Universe set. Oh no, the star was so moved by the man’s story that he gifted him a signed script and got FedEx to donate $5 million to the Toys for Tots charity!

Dwanta lifts heavy

Johnson clearly loves the Dwanta Claus persona, and he posted a video to Instagram of him working out in his Santa hat. The star tells his fans in the clip, “Dwanta Claus is coming tonight, on his way.” And Johnson’s followers know that any one of them could be the recipient of a special gift from the big man.
