The Rock lives a king-sized life, not because of what he achieved professionally but because of the impact he brings to the lives of countless people, sometimes through his direct generous acts or indirect influence.

The US Navy veteran shared how The Rock unknowingly saved his life once. The veteran, now YouTuber, wrote in a post that he lost his right leg in an accident back in 1999. His shipmates had him watch a lot of The Rock’s matches to keep him going and it worked out like magic.

The ex-Navy personnel continued paying gratitude as someone from WWE gifted him a book with a fake autograph of Johnson’s. ”That autograph was fake LOL but we did meet at WM19 but guess what? I LOST THE PHOTO!” the fan wrote.

This story moved The Brahma Bull to such a level that he immediately responded by reposting it on his official Twitter handle.

He replied, ”Thank you for this story! I’m very sorry to hear about what happened. I will send you my REAL autograph 😊 ✍🏾 cos that ain’t my writing though I appreciate the genuine effort made by whoever got that for you. I’ll send you some other gifts as well! I’ll be in touch this week and most importantly, thank you for your service brother 🇺🇸👊🏾”

Moving ahead, the former World Champion recently made his much-awaited return to the squared circle and received a grand reception from fans as he always does. That said, Johnson never takes his fans and fame for granted.

Dwayne Johnson’s relationship with his fans

Celebrities are so accustomed to getting love and recognition from all across that it’s not very surprising for them to lose interest in it. But Dwayne Johnson is an exception. He connects with fans on a deeper level for a reason.

During a recent Instagram video, the wrestler-turned-actor articulated how he never thinks popularity has a drawback and how he fears going back to a past phase of his life.
