The Rock was able to reflect on his relationship with his late father Rocky Johnson with an incredible act of generosity to a long-time fan of the Final Boss.
On Twitter, the TKO board member shared a video of himself meeting a fan named Ricardo and his son Isaiah. The Rock spoke about how Ricardo does everything to try and help his family, much like the late Johnson did for his own kin.
In an incredible moment of generosity, The Rock gifted Ricardo a truck to help with his cleaning business, an industry Johnson was also once a part of. The gifts didn’t stop there as The Rock also gifted Ricardo and Isaiah $100,000 to help with the business.
Sometimes I just miss my dad.
Wish I could give him my truck or give him a little cash.
(my old man was an OG so he was all about that cash;)When I met Isaiah’s dad, Ricardo – he immediately reminded me of my old man.

Rocky Johnson and his son had a sometimes strained relationship, as documented in NBC’s Young Rock as well as his 1999 New York Times bestseller ‘The Rock Says.’ Despite this, The Rock inducted his father into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008 in an induction that saw ‘High Chief’ Peter Maivia be posthumously inducted.
This is hardly the first time The Rock has been incredibly generous. In June of last year, The Rock bought a home for WWE’s Tamina Snuka and has previously bought a car and other purchases for his mother. More recently, The Rock shared that he is giving away another truck to mark the launch of ZOA Energy’s new Mango Splash flavor.
