Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is one of the most beloved celebrities on the entire planet.
In a span of only 25 years, Dwayne Johnson went from being a CFL washout to becoming the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. Now, he’s one of the most revered movie stars on earth.
During his unprecedented climb to the top, Dwayne has always remained humble.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a single person to say even one bad thing about him. Dwayne is kind, selfless, and has never forgotten where he came from.
Of all the impactful people to come into his life, Dwayne’s biggest hero has always been his mother, Ata.
“She’s a survivor so every single day, she lives life to the fullest,” Dwayne wrote via Instagram. “And is a shining beacon of love, joy, and kindness .”
This year, in order to show his appreciation for all her sacrifices, Dwayne got his mother a very special Christmas gift.
The star of the recently released Red Notice , along with his two young daughters, came together in order to surprise Ata with a brand new Cadillac.
Dwayne shared the touching reveal via Instagram with his legions of followers on Boxing Day.
In the video, Dwayne can be seen covering his mother’s eyes as his two little girls count 1-2-3. Then, Dwayne removes his hand as his girls exclaim “Merry Christmas!” at the top of their lungs.
Ata’s overwhelming shock is almost too much to bear. She quickly clasps her hand to her mouth and begins to cry.
“She was shocked. She got a few good ugly cries in. Then once her grand babies joined her inside the car, she was overcome with pure joy joy,” Dwayne explained in the caption .
Dwayne also posted a few accompanying pictures of Ata and her grandchildren enjoying the new car.
“Hell, even Hobbs, my dog wanted to peep the whip with his new Christmas chicken,” Dwayne joked . “I’m so grateful I can do this kinda stuff for my mom, who’s had one helluva life.”
This isn’t the first time that Dwayne has gone above and beyond for his mother at Christmas.
Back in 2018, Dwayne fulfilled every child’s dream by buying his mother a brand-new home. Dwayne described the gift as “Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket” — meaning that she could pick any house, anywhere she wanted.
Dwayne explained how he wanted to gift his mother a sense of permanence and stability.
“All our lives growing up we lived in little apartments all across the country,” he wrote . “Lived like gypsies on the road from one state to another.”
“I always say, if you got a good mama, then you gotta pretty good shot at becoming a decent human being,” Dwayne reasoned.
Dwayne went on to say how he doesn’t take a single aspect of his life for granted, and neither does his mother. They embrace a shared philosophy and treat every day as if it were a gift.
Which raises one very important question — how is Dwayne going to top himself next year?
Perhaps he’ll buy his mom her own private island or maybe gift her some prime real estate on the planet Mars? Whatever the case may be, it’s clear to see that Dwayne has always been there for his mother and that he always will be.
