‘The Rock’ returns to the store where he stole as a child to pay for his mistake

It is not necessary to introduce Dwayne Johnson, better known as “The Rock”, because we all know that he is one of the biggest and, of course, the best paid celebrities in Hollywood.

In days gone by, La Roca shared a couple of posts on his Instagram, in which he recounted a visit he had to a 7-Eleven convenience store in Hawaii, where he spent $298 as a way to make amends for a teenage mistake.

Dwayne published an emotional video in which he explains that when he was 14 years old he used to go to this store and steal a daily large Snickers chocolate for almost a year, since it was what he ate before training, but he did not have enough money to pay for it .

The Rock explains that he had been waiting for decades to come back and make amends until, finally, the day came. So he went into the store and bought all the Snickers available on the shelves. In addition, he took the opportunity to pay for the products of the people who were in the store.

People were really surprised, and with good reason, it’s not every day you run into The Rock in the store. Already at the checkout, he also took the opportunity to explain to the employees why he was carrying out this action and they were very happy to take photos with the celebrity.

Once the purchase was finished, the actor decided to leave the bags full of chocolates in the box and instructed the employees to give them away to those who “look like they want to steal a Snickers”, as he did in his youth.

In addition, the former professional wrestler shared a series of photos from his stay at 7-Evelen, with the following message in the description:

I’ve exorcised several demons over the years (I still have a few left) so I know this one seems silly, but every time I come back to Hawaii and pass 7-Evelen… I always knew I needed to go in and take all the bars with me. Snickers they had but the right way.

It is to be admired that Dwayne never forgot that fact. And even though he spent a lot of time, he knew that he had to remedy his past actions somehow. This great act of humility was shared on the social network, where he has no less than 350 million followers around the world.

La Roca is one of the most beloved actors in the industry, as he has shown on many occasions that behind that rude, muscular and imposing image, there is actually a friendly being that exudes tenderness and confidence.

As a last comment to your descriptionDwayne wrote something that invites us to reflect on our daily actions:

We can’t change the past and some of the silly things we’ve done, but once in a while we can add a little redemptive grace note to that situation and maybe put a big smile on some stranger’s face.
