9/11 shook the entire world. It took each and everyone by surprise. Nobody saw it coming. The entire world mourned the countless innocent lives lost on this fateful day two decades ago.

Dwayne Johnson sent out his heartfelt message

“First and foremost, I have to say that I can’t fathom or comprehend the pain and the suffering and the anguish that the family and friends of the victims are going through. The workers working diligently 24 hours a day. Sifting through the rubble and looking for any remnants of life. It is difficult to talk about this, and I will say that I can’t; I couldn’t imagine what it must be like to be there.” Johnson can be seen saying in the video.

He further added, “I couldn’t imagine if my own family were there. I will offer my condolences and certainly say that everyone is in my heart and in my prayers. And I just wanna say to everyone out there. Again, to the family and friends of the victims and everyone involved is to stay strong. Just stay strong.”

Johnson and his ancestry

The Rock holds dual citizenship in both the US and Canada. In acknowledgement of his Canadian lineage, he obtained half-Canadian citizenship in 2009. His Canadian lineage comes from his father’s side, who was of African-Nova-Scotian descent.

He is of Samoan descent from his mother’s side. This rich multi-cultural heritage could be a reason for his zeal to uphold what is right and to stand against injustice in all shapes and forms.

In his 2000 autobiography, ‘The Rock Says…’, Johnson talks about his extraordinary life story. The book opened at number one on the New York Times Best Seller List and maintained that position for several weeks.
