Dwayne Johnson has proved that he is not only the most popular movie star in the globe, but also the best. He’s also, quite possibly, the nicest guy in the world. We frequently see The Rock take time out for fans, but they don’t get much more special than this one, where Johnson stops to take several pictures with a young girl who is in absolute shock at meeting him.
The Rock uploaded a video to his YouTube channelInstagramThis video shows him meeting with Carol, a Memphis 10th grader. She stood for nearly two hours outside in the morning to take a photo with The Rock. She likely spent those two hours quite nervous at the thought of meeting him, but those nerves completely overwhelm her when she finally sees him and it’s just adorable. You can see it here.
Throughout the entire interaction Carol is simply unable to regain herself, which maybe isn’t that surprising. She’s clearly a huge fan and now she’s standing next to a guy who she’s only previously seen on movie and TV screens. Dwayne is as kind as possible, but he’s trying to help her stay calm. And he takes all she wants.
In the post attached to the video he also reveals that’s giving Carol and her friends free opening night tickets to Black AdamIt’s also very nice. Carol probably still can’t believe that she got to meet Dwayne Johnson in person. As someone who has had the opportunity to interview The Rock, it is something that I understand.
The Rock is in Memphis as part of the production for the Third season of his show Young Rock. Carol managed to find him, and she decided to wait until morning to meet him. This would allow him to have more time for a simple photo. Clearly there’s some dedication here, but she also gave Johnson space and let him come to her, which is nice.
Dwayne Johnson has spoken previously about an experience he had early in his wrestling career, where Johnson didn’t give a fan the time, and that the moment taught him that he had the power to make people feel good. Furthermore, he learned that doing so didn’t even usually require that much from him. He chose to be kind to his fans, which is clearly giving this child a life-changing experience.
Dwayne Johnson will never forget an experience like this. It’s possible she may need to refer back to the videos and pictures, since it’s not certain how much she’ll remember.
