The Rock Dwayne Johnson is one of the coolest celebrities in existence and this is why.  The Furious 7 star shared this cool story on Instagram Sunday (April 5th).

“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.”

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT…

“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.”

A great story from Dwayne who, in my estimation, may be the best celebrity ever based on how interactive he is with fans not only on social media but, more importantly, in person. How many other celebrities would see those people in their rearview mirror and step on the gas rather than the brake? Most, I predict.
