Dwayne Johnson Surprises A Lifelong Friend Who Took Him In As A Homeless Teen With A $30k Pickup Truck

We’re used to seeing Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as a man destined for success. I mean, the guy is a third-generation superstar in WWE history and the highest-paid male actor who earned a hard-to-imagine $87.5m from the 1st of June 2019 to the same date in 2020.

But it turns out that the legend himself had a humbling beginning. Dwayne recounted the moment his lifelong friend Bruno took him in as a homeless teenager on not one, but two separate occasions. Bruno was also the one who bought Dwayne a car with his last 40 bucks. “Bruno could’ve (and should’ve) said hell no, I’m not takin’ in some kid who I don’t know. But he didn’t,” Dwayne wrote in his viral post. And the two have been inseparable ever since.

Thus, right on time for the new year, the wrestling megastar decided to thank Bruno. In a small clip taken from the upcoming TV series Young Rock, Dwayne invites his lifelong friend for one big surprise.

“I want to thank you for buying me my first car from that crackhead, and now I have the opportunity to tell you this is your new car,” announces Dwayne, pointing to the $30,000 Ford F150. See the full heartwarming clip below that will make you like The Rock even more.
