Over the Easter weekend, The Rock wasn't taking a break when it comes to hitting the gym and staying in great shape (it's pretty much how he makes his money), and while he was out and about, the star of Furious 7 made a lifelong fan's dream come true.
Nick Miller is a huge fan of Dwayne Johnson, and when he saw the movie star and WWE legend leaving the gym on Easter Sunday, he just had to stop him and tell him how he had been an inspiration to him during a particularly difficult time in his life.
Miller was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, and has been inspired by Johnson's attitude and work ethic to keep fighting it as hard as he can. On a post on Instagram, the star said that Miller's story was incredibly powerful, and that it moved him to tears when he heard it.
Cool story to share on Easter.. After my workout I'm drivin' in my pick up and notice these kids in the rearview mirror screamin' & runnin' after my truck. Thought to myself, "Should I stop or keep drivin'?" I stopped. I hop out of my truck and this kid runs up to me, hugs the hell outta me and says it's been his life's dream to meet me and tell me how much I've inspired him to fight cancer (Hodgkin's lymphoma) and hard core chemo and stem cell transplant treatments. He was a little teary eyed and said for months and months all he's wanted to do was find me and say this face to face. I told him what it meant to me to hear this story. I thanked him, hugged him (and his friends), got back in my truck and drove away. As I'm drivin' I start shaking my head (and tearing up) at how fragile life is and how amazing and cool the universe was to make this meeting happen between myself and this special kid Nick Miller. Let's always take a moment to count our blessings.. cause there's always something to be grateful for. Happy Easter y'all - DJ
