At Universal Studios Hollywood, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson met with twenty-one wish kids from Make-A-Wish. The Today Show broadcasted the encounter in a four-minute clip. As a surprise for the children, Johnson posed as a tour guide during the backlot tour at Universal Studios. Johnson ended up spending more than five hours chatting with everyone, even though it was only supposed to be an hour.

In an interview with “Today’s” Jacob Soboroff, he discussed how important Make-A-Wish has been in his life ever since his father helped grant the first wish in New Jersey in 1983. The Hollywood celebrity has extra affection for the organization because of its long existence (almost 40 years) and the 900,000 wishes it has fulfilled.

Dwayne Johnson’s philanthropic gestures

Aside from his fame as a movie star, The Rock is well-known for his philanthropic nature. As head of the Dwayne Johnson Foundation, he gives money to organizations like the military and animal shelters on a monthly basis and fulfills wishes via the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

He does good deeds that aren’t seen by the general population. In the process of purchasing homes for loved ones or giving cars as gifts to coworkers, the ten-time WWE champion brings joy to many. Tanoai Reed, who is also his cousin and stunt double, received a vehicle worth thirty thousand dollars from him in 2018, and he also gave the same truck to Harvey Whippleman for Christmas.

The Rock’s followers love his heartfelt gestures as he expresses his gratitude to moms throughout the globe.

Oh, hi, this is Md Robin Ahmed, a WWE fan and I everyday go through a slew of popular WWE stories on Sportszion. Watching Big Show's Showstopper was the beginning of my passion for WWE, though I have to say that his Chokeslam is not one of my favorite moves. Over time, my love for professional wrestling has intensified, mostly due to the Shield, and my all-time favorite wrestler in WWE is Big Dog. I would give everything to be able to be within a few feet of him to witness his iconic Superman Punch and Spear. My major is engineering, but I'm most happy when I'm doing something artistic that doesn't put me under any pressure. Watching them wrestle and discuss their matches is always fun for me. And I've finally discovered a career that gives me fun since it allows me to with my dream heroes lifestyle. So, Welcome! I'd love to hear from you on LinkedIn and Facebook.
