Dwayne Johnson might be the greatest human being ever.
The Baywatch star held up production on Monday to meet a fan named Ryan, who has special needs, and his family.
Ryan and his family traveled to the beach where the Baywatch
cast was shooting with the slim hope of getting to meet Johnson. In his
Instagram post, Johnson explained that the family said they were
willing to wait all day until after filming had ended so as not to
disrupt their schedule, but Johnson wasn't having it.
"That would've been 12hrs." Johnson wrote. "Way too long."
Johnson then stopped what he was doing and immediately walked across the beach to greet Ryan, his brother, mom and nurse.
"When I walked down the stairs, Ryan's mom
(pictured here) was waiting with a huge hug! Her tears started to come
as she whispered, 'Thank you, thank you,'" Johnson wrote. "I met Ryan,
his brother and his nurse. What a great and cool kid. Without getting
into the details, this kid has waaaaaay more heart, is stronger and
tougher than I could ever imagine."
Johnson explained that moments like these
particularly resonate with him, because he is a parent and knows he too
would do anything to make his children happy.
"I walked away from this family so grateful to
have met them and Ryan," Johnson wrote. "I don't ever take meetings like
this for granted."
This isn't the first time Johnson stopped working
to spend time with fans who have had serious health concerns. Last
month, the former WWE superstar took a break from his workout to meet
survivors from the Live Strong Foundation.
"You can live three weeks without food, three days
without water, three minutes without oxygen, but only three seconds
without hope," he wrote at the time. "Stay strong, guys, and keep
inspiring all those around you and defying the odds."
