Dwayne Johnson Takes a Break from Making Movie to Hang Out with Kids in Hospital

Kyle NewportMar 14, 2016

"Sorry, Mr. Producer, but this film can wait."

Or something like that.

This past weekend, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson took to Instagram to share a heartwarming story. While he was shooting Baywatch in Savannah, Georgia, it was brought to The Rock's attention that there was a young fan in the hospital where a scene was being filmed who would love to meet him.

That's when he faced a decision: keep filming or go surprise some fans? Well, Johnson chose the latter, a decision that shouldn't surprise anyone.

Here's what The Rock had to say about the photo above:

"

So I called an audible and went to visit Christopher. Glad we did... While I was visiting the Pediatric Specialty Ward surprising the kids, I got word from my team that there was a mom who was pleading with our production staff, that I go upstairs to her son's room to give him a much-needed big surprise. Since he's older he's in the main hospital and not in pediatric care.

We were shooting #BAYWATCH scenes outside of the hospital, but instead of heading back to shoot I called the audible, put production on hold and went upstairs to see this young man.

I walked in and his smile lit up the room! And I mean lit that room up!;) We talked for a while about his family, his school and how hard he's working to eventually graduate AND we talked about how COOL all his scars are from his multiple surgeries - from his head to his chest - those scars are badges of honor and the reminder of how beyond tough this kid is.

Right before I left his mom looked at him and said, "Christopher I can't give you anything, but I'm so happy I could give you this today..." and she started to breakdown, which was captured in this pic.

Made me think to give so much credit to these parents who would do anything to take their kid's pain away and ANYTHING to bring a smile to their faces. As a papa bear I understand.

Glad this mom brought a smile to Christopher's face. And glad I got a chance to shake the hand of this very strong and inspiring young man.

Stay strong Christopher and show them scars with pride. You're the man! ~ DJ

It certainly appears Johnson's time with Christopher had an impact on everyone involved. Of course, there was more.

The Rock also met a youngster named Aiden. And like with Christopher, the WWE star couldn't help but admire his new pal:

If it means delaying production in order to spend time with fans, so be it. That's just the type of guy The Rock is.
