You just have to love Dwayne Johnson
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a lot of things—actor, producer, businessman, tequila maker, former professional wrestler, father, and husband. He’s also known as one of the most generous men in Hollywood, as one high school sophomore (and her entire school) found out— after she waited over two hours to meet him.
“This awesome girl (Carol) waited two hours to finally meet BLACK ADAM,” Johnson wrote on his Instagram page. “His heart may be cold and black, but it still beats 🖤. Especially, for kids.” The video shows an ecstatic Carol trying to hold it together while meeting The Rock. She can’t stop smiling or crying as he stops to take a selfie and other photos with her. He asked her what school she goes to and how her grades are and then posted the video of the pair meeting along with a special surprise.
“Great to meet you, Carol and tell all your friends at Crosstown High, that I’m giving ALL OF YOU FREE TICKETS TO WATCH BLACK ADAM⚡️at your local theater on OPENING NIGHT!!!” he said.
Black Adam is a comic book legend, and Shazam’s archrival. According to IMDB, “Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the Egyptian gods-and imprisoned just as quickly-Black Adam is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world.” Producers will be depicting Johnson’s character as an anti-hero more so than the supervillain he’s portrayed as in the comics, with all the sparkle and shine he brings to any role he plays.
“The Justice Society was the FIRST superhero team in the comic world – even before Justice League,” Johnson wrote of his character. “It’s a very cool and perfect time to build out the DC UNIVERSE with these awesome new characters from the DC pantheon.”
The much-anticipated movie hits theaters in October, and the lucky students of Crosstown High will all be in attendance. “My team will be in touch with you and your family for details,” Johnson continued. “Thanks for being awesome and SURPRISE! Enjoy the movie on OCT 21st!! He’ll go back to being ruthless and full of rage tomorrow.”
