“I Was Broke as Hell”: $800 Million Dwayne Johnson Finally Compensates for Stealing Everyday as a Kid

We all have lived our childhood days, quite beautifully. Visiting those old memories again is always a journey of nostalgia. Who doesn’t like it? Similarly, our very own Dwayne Johnson visited one of his childhood pleasures recently. 

The former wrestler stepped into the teen Johnson’s beloved store to make things right. What can a 14-year-old do that needs rectification by his older self? This question must be troubling you. 

The popular actor of Hollywood took out his time to revisit the store he used to steal from. He even documented his visit and shared it on Instagram. 

Dwayne Johnson finally made things right

On the weekend, Dwayne Johnson was found in the 7-Eleven in Hawaii, a daily stop during his teens. This time, his purpose was something different. Unlike his youth, now he wasn’t there to steal. On the contrary, he bought all the Snickers bars present in the store. However, he did not buy it for himself but for the hungry customers. Further, he also bought the supplies for all the customers present there. 

He left all the purchased snickers bars in the store. And said to the cashier, “I’m gonna leave these here. If somebody looks like they’re stealing Snickers. Give them these, so they don’t steal it.”

His generous take on making things correct he did wrong in his youth days is quite adorable. One can also take inspiration from his journey of stealing a Snickers bar to purchasing all of it for others.
