Dwayne Johnson is a level of celebrity that goes beyond just being a movie star. Although he recently announced that he currently has no plans to run for president of the United States, the fact that such an idea has been pitched for Johnson shows the level of fame he truly has. It is also the level of glory where people want him to hold their babies and are willing to ride their babies to make it happen.
The Rock was recently in Mexico to promote the release of black adam when the father of a child in the crowd wanted the star to hold the child. Since he wasn’t standing next to Johnson, he had to put the boy on top of several people’s heads, and the boy ended up crowdsurfing in The Rock’s arms. The Rock shared the video on Instagram. Look.
The image is sweet and weird at the same time. Dwayne Johnson clearly agrees with this. He has a big smile on his face and hugs the boy warmly. He also likes the crowd because you can hear them make more noise when they take the baby. We know that The Rock is gifted with children, as we have seen him with him.
He certainly shows great confidence not only in Dwayne Johnson, but in everyone else present at the event, that this father was willing to let his son go and be taken away by a group of strangers. The worst case scenario here could have been negative. While I’d be more than willing to let Dwayne Johnson keep my baby if he wanted to, I’m not sure I’d be willing to navigate strangers to make it happen.
Perhaps the craziest part of the whole exchange is Johnson’s comment in the accompanying message that he wasn’t surprised that someone in that crowd was handing him a real baby. He is used to seeing people having such emotional reactions towards him and getting things delivered. Although Johnson says he initially thought this girl was a doll, and is quite young and therefore petite, it’s not hard to make that mistake. However, this is one more reason why leaving the baby in the crowd is a bit extreme.
But having his daughter in The Rock’s hands was clearly a big deal for the father. In a few years, the little girl will be able to watch this video and see herself in the arms of Dwayne Johnson, and even if Johnson is not the biggest star in the world at the time, (he probably still will be) always be old enough for the child to understand what time it was. And so it was with Dwayne Johnson.
