Great Story As Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Moved To Tears After Meeting Inspirational Fan

Dwayne Johnson would have been enjoying himself in recent weeks following the incredible box office success of 'Fast & Furious 7' (you can watch the trailer here), but a chance encounter with a fan who was absolutely desperate to meet him left the former WWE Superstar teary eyed and prompted a touching Instagram post on Easter Sunday.

After The Rock left the gym (we were surprised to read that he does actually leave the gym) he noticed a group of kids running behind his truck, and rather than put the foot down and get the hell out of there like most people would have in that situation, he decided to see what all the fuss was about.

Cool story to share on Easter.. After my workout I'm drivin' in my pick up and notice these kids in the rearview mirror screamin' & runnin' after my truck. Thought to myself, "Should I stop or keep drivin'?" I stopped. I hop out of my truck and this kid runs up to me, hugs the hell outta me and says it's been his life's dream to meet me and tell me how much I've inspired him to fight cancer (Hodgkin's lymphoma) and hard core chemo and stem cell transplant treatments. He was a little teary eyed and said for months and months all he's wanted to do was find me and say this face to face. I told him what it meant to me to hear this story. I thanked him, hugged him (and his friends), got back in my truck and drove away. As I'm drivin' I start shaking my head (and tearing up) at how fragile life is and how amazing and cool the universe was to make this meeting happen between myself and this special kid Nick Miller. Let's always take a moment to count our blessings.. cause there's always something to be grateful for. Happy Easter y'all - DJ
