Johnson shared a lengthy video on Instagram on October 15 wherein he spoke about surprising a high school teacher, who has endured hardships in the last couple of years.
The Great One said, “I normally never post these on Instagram. You guys never see them, they get sent directly to the fans and families, but I woke up this morning and it was just so heavy on my heart man.” He then introduced his fans to Mallory Clifford, who works at Garrett High School as the school track coach and guidance counselor.
Johnson hails Clifford’s courage and calls himself her biggest fan. “I’m now your biggest fan, quite possibly, literally your biggest fan, because you know me, I’m The Rock and I’m as big as a tyrannosaurus rex and old as a tyrannosaurus rex,” The Brahma Bull said, treating his fans to some self-deprecating humor.

To make up for the missed chance, he also hummed a tune from Sam Cooke. This isn’t the first time Johnson – one of the most recognizable faces in the world – has reached out to a fan or responded to a call from his admirers. Recently, he also spoke about fame and its pros and cons.
