Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Gifts Close Friend a Huge New Year’s Gift

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is one of the most popular figures in the world and his influence knows no bounds. He has made it big in life and has overcome all odds to reach the zenith of stardom. 

However, things weren’t handed over to the WWE legend, and he had to make it through the hardest of times. At one point, he was homeless and was set to move back in with his father. 

To his surprise, a WWE manager agreed to take him in as a 15-year-old boy and gave him a place to stay. This man was Bruno Lauer, the famous WWF manager known to fans as Harvey Wippleman. 

The Rock never forgets and wanted to repay his friend for the favor. In a recent post on Instagram, ‘The Brahma Bull’  was seen gifting Bruno a brand new Ford F-150!

The car has a huge backstory. As a young man, Bruno agreed to pay $40 to buy a run-down car from a “crackhead” as a gift to Johnson; the two had a lot of fun memories living together. Johnson learned that he would be reunited with Bruno on the set of ‘Young Rock’. 

He then decided to repay Bruno in the form of a beautiful brand new car. As you can see, the former manager broke down in tears upon receiving the gift. 

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson never forgets those who helped him

The Rock has been forever grateful to those who helped him when he was in need. Growing up was a tough time for Johnson and he needed all the help he could get. 

To this day, he remembers the help the late Pat Patterson gave him and honored the Hall of Famer with a heartfelt message upon receiving the news of his death. 

He also shares a special bond with Mark Henry who lived with him during his early career in WWE. 

Dwayne Johnson’s story is one of the most inspiring, and he always stays close to his roots. He will never forget the helping hands that pulled him up and does what he can to repay the favor in his own way.
