The fans of Dwayne Johnson must be aware of the American sitcom based on the star’s life. It has already shown several parts of his life that were not known to many. Thus, the anticipation for its third season rose to a great extent. However, the season came to an end with the release of its final episode on February 23. 

A week after the end of the 3rd season, The Rock made it a point to not only appreciate the sitcom but thank the audience on behalf of the entire team for tuning in. Along with that, he also shared something personal with his fans while taking a jibe at Kevin Hart. This emotionally rich post of The People’s Champion, along with added humor, makes it wholesome for the fans. One can also get motivation from it, like most of his other social media posts.

The heart-touching video beautifully describes a time when The Rock’s family was evicted from their home in Hawaii. And then cut to the present, where he was able to provide his mother with her “final dream home.”
