“Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has gifted a $30,000 truck to a lifelong friend.
Bruno Lauer took in the actor when he became homeless as a teenager after he and his mother were evicted from their home in Hawaii, and once again nine years later when Dwayne fell on hard times while trying to make it as a wrestler.
On New Year’s Day, the Fast & Furious star, 48, took to his Instagram to share a clip of the sweet moment that he ‘returned the favour’ to Bruno by surprising him with a Ford F150 and promised his friend he’s ‘got him covered’ when he chooses to retire.
The former wrestling manager – who worked under the title of Harvey Wippleman in the 1990s – first took Dwayne in aged 15, and then the pair later lived in Bruno’s trailer in Nashville.
Bruno even helped The Rock purchase his very first car when he was just 15 years old and trying to launch his wrestling career in Memphis.
Dwayne surprised his lifelong friend with the vehicle to thank him for his generosity, leaving Bruno overwhelmed and shedding a tear in the clip shared to social media.
In a lengthy caption alongside the video, Dwayne explained the story behind their friendship, which included Bruno purchasing The Rock his first car from ‘a crackhead’ for $40.”
