The Rock made a surprise appearance at a movie theater and called Rodriguez to the front, noting that he was impressed and inspired by Rodriguez's story.

Rodriguez learned Johnson had given him his truck by reading a note that The Rock left in the front seat.
An emotional Rodriguez hugged Johnson and thanked him numerous times, while Johnson thanked him for doing so much good in his community.
Johnson is among the most famous entertainers in the world after his time in professional wrestling as an eight-time WWE champion and his many blockbuster movies.
His latest hit film, Red Notice, with Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot, began streaming on Netflix this month.
