The Rock might not be actively wrestling but he proved he is still The People’s Champion as he gifted a personal possession to a veteran of the US Navy.
The Rock stars in the new Netflix movie Red Notice alongside Wrexham FC owner Ryan Reynolds and a certain golden egg that recently starred on WWE television.
The WWE icon is known for his acts of generosity and on Thanksgiving Eve, Dwayne Johnson was in a giving mood as he held a private screening of Red Notice with freebies on offer of many brands that The Rock has invested in.
While this might have been enough of a good time, The Rock decided to go one further for US Navy veteran Coach Oscar Rodriguez as he surprised him with a truck. But not just any truck, The Rock’s own personalised Ford pick-up truck.
The Rock decided to surprise Rodriguez after hearing about how he takes care of his 75-year-old mother as well as providing support for domestic abuse victims, and is a leader at his local church.
On social media, The Rock detailed his plan, saying that originally he planned to give away the Porsche Taycan that he drives in Red Notice:
“Today was a good day.
Merry Christmas @coach_orod and enjoy your new truck [red truck emoji]
I invited fans to a special theater screening of RED NOTICE and I wanted to do something cool for all of them.
Free concessions, @projectrock, @teremana, @zoaenergy, @saltandstraw ice cream.
