Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson gives man who reminds him of own father $100,000

This is the moment Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson gifts a man $100,000 and his truck after reminding the wrestler of his own father.

The Hollywood star shared his touching encounter with a father named Ricardo and his son Isaiah. This duo’s struggles reminded Johnson of his late father, Rocky Johnson, who passed away in 2020.

Ricardo, much like Rocky, worked hard to provide for his family and established a cleaning service to earn a living.

Writing on Instagram on Thursday (25 April), the actor said: “Sometimes I just miss my dad. When I met Isaiah’s dad, Ricardo, he immediately reminded me of my old man.

“This moment with Ricardo, felt like my dad was still here with me and I could make him happy.”
