Watch The Rock's mom learn he bought her a house for Christmas
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson slayed the gift-giving game this year.
For Christmas, he went big and bought his mom a brand new home. Then he captured her reaction on video and shared the touching footage with his 126 million Instagram followers.
"This one felt good... Bought my mom a new home for Christmas," The Rock captioned the video of his mom unwrapping the card, which he disguised as a "Willy Wonka Golden Ticket."
"All our lives growing up we lived in little apartments all across the country," he wrote, explaining that he first bought his parents a home in 1999, but five years later they got divorced.
"Since then I always made sure my mom and dad have everything they’ll ever need — houses, cars etc. But the house this time is a special one and the timing is very meaningful," he wrote. "I told her to treat this card like it's 'Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket' because she gets to choose any home she wants — anywhere she wants."
As The Rock's mom learned her son was planning to buy her a new house she began to sob and the two shared an emotional embrace.
The Rock ended his post by writing, "I always say, if you got a good mama, then you gotta pretty good shot at becoming a decent human being. And somehow, somewhere along the line I became one lucky SOB to be able to make stuff like this happen."
Awwwww!
