Dwayne Johnson then went on to provide Walcott with motivational words. He said, “I admire the hell out of you. I respect the hell out of you.

More on the video, Johnson proclaimed, “You and I are so similar in many ways. You know, there is no blueprints for people like us. We either make our own path or we traveled the path that has been traveled before. When it comes to the path that has been traveled before? F**k that. We are gonna make our own path. Half black, half Samoan, raising eyebrow, suplexing fools, trying to make in Hollywood, there is no blueprint for me.”

The Brahma Bull then continued showering praises on Walcott. He said, “Someone like you, strong, powerful, putting in the work with your own two hands. The hardest worker in the room, and doing it on your terms. Breaking world records consistently and raising the bar. Showing people how it’s done. With grace, with power, powerful black mom. I respect and I love you. Keep up the good work, I wish I was out there.”
