Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, met a beautiful little boy, Jett. He’s five years old and is battling DIPG.

The Rock posted the video of their interaction on social media and it left everyone teary-eyed. Johnson explained what DIPG is on the post as well.

“In 2021, this family’s hearts were shattered when Jett was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). Highly aggressive and inoperable brain tumor that occurs almost exclusively in young children.”

The disease takes away the ability to walk, talk, and ultimately breathe while ensuring the mind is still functioning.

Apart from Jett, his family was present as well.

Dwayne Johnson has often met fans virtually

The Great One is not known as that without any reason. Even though he has reached a different level of stardom, he always puts his fans first.

Therefore, over the years, he sent innumerable video messages to fans, had virtual chats, and had other interactions with him. These are just some things he does to show his immense appreciation for his fans.

Recently, Johnson gave away his People’s Choice Awards to a fan, Shushana. Her fight for life made an impression on Johnson, who believed she deserved the award more than him.

On the other hand, Johnson gave away his custom-built Ford truck to another fan because of his hard work towards society and family.

The Rock is widely missed by his fans

While Johnson is loved by fans across the globe, so is his WWE character, The Rock. He played an arrogant young man, but was an absolute hit among the fans.

He played the role of an anti-hero. Essentially, a heel, but people loved him like he’s a babyface. His catchphrases, his style, his matches, and everything he did became a sensation during The Attitude Era.
