“I Felt So Bad” – Dwayne Johnson Once Gifted a Rolex Watch to a Stuntman After Accidentally Knocking Him Down During Scorpion King Shoot

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson worked in the WWE and established himself as one of the most prominent heels in the history of the promotion. However, the wrestling personalities and the WWE Universe know how humble he is in person. The Rock brings the security of a big and reliable brother to everyone wherever he goes. 

Despite this, The Rock isn’t a person who doesn’t make mistakes. In a recently resurfaced interview, Johnson narrated a story where he felt very guilty after an error. In fact, Johnson gave away a brand new Rolex watch to the person who was hurt because of him.

The benevolence of the Scorpion King

The Rock has worked across several amazing movie titles and franchises. While he is mostly famous for his action and comedy movies, Johnson also has some historical fiction under his belt. In fact, his very first film, The Scorpion King, was a historical fiction. Although the film did perform well at the box office, it still received a lot of backlash.  In a recently resurfaced interview, The Rock revealed a stunt mistake he made, which knocked down another stuntman. 

The video interview showcases a section of The Graham Norton Show. Johnson is known for his muscular build, and the show’s audience could imagine the damage taken by the stuntman. According to Johnson, “I had this big action sequence. And um I wound up hitting a stuntman and kind of clocking him super hard. He uh he was a little older he went down and I felt so bad. I was about defeated.” 

The Rock later revealed that he pulled off something crazy to overcome his guilt. He said, “I bought him a Rolex watch and he was….. but that’s how bad I felt. I felt super bad because I mean these guys are the backbone of our business. uh, so I did buy him a Rolex watch.” The interviewer asked if The Rock faced any encounters of people trying to get hit by him on purpose.
