Replying to that, he stated, “Well, there was a moment where I first started my pro wrestling career. And of course, when you wrestle, and you go to the venue, whether it’s at a flea market, or whether it’s at an arena. Everyone knows you there, so the adulation is strong.”
“I had landed in some Midwest city, had to drive to another city. And I was driving through the small town. I stopped at a gas station, and I got some gas and got some other things. And the person behind the counter said, ‘Are you the Rock?’ and it threw me because no one had ever recognized me outside of the world of pro wrestling.”
The Rock further added that he asked the gas station employee whether he want to take pictures since he was delighted to meet his first admirer.
