Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson just gave a veteran the surprise of his life.
The actor was leaving the gym after his workout Monday morning when he ran into John Henderson, a 73-year-old Vietnam veteran, who asked him for a photo. Johnson obliged and then told the man goodbye. (RELATED: Kid Rock Was Asked, ‘Who Are Your Heroes?’ — You’re Going To Love His Answer)
He told the rest of the story on Instagram.
“I got in my truck and started to drive off,” Johnson said.
“Buuuut then I thought, ‘You know what let me go back and grab a pic with my phone with that OG who paved the way for so many of us.’ When he came back out he said, ‘Ya know I’ve been around this world my whole life and been inspired by a lot of things. This really makes me happy.'”
“I said, ‘I appreciate you and all you do. You inspire all of us to keep on keepin’ on.'” (RELATED: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson And Girlfriend Are Expecting)
“Made me think that no matter where they come from – military, the streets, sports etc.. there ain’t nothin’ like that OG wisdom that can only come from years of experience,” Johnson added.
