El reconocido actor y luchador profesional estadounidense Dwayne Johnson, más conocido como ‘La Roca’, le dio una gran sorpresa a su padre al obsequiarle un automóvil. Las imágenes del acontecimiento fueron subidas a su cuenta de Instagram y han causado furor entre los internautas.

El pasado viernes, el actor de 44 años compartió una foto de él con su padre junto a una reluciente camioneta Subaru. En su mensaje, agradeció a su progenitor por todos los sacrificios que ha hecho por él y su familia.

El texto que acompañó la foto de Instagram decía: "Compré a mi padre un regalo de Navidad y lo sorprendí. Ha tenido una vida dura”.

“Mi padre, Rocky Johnson, es minimalista. Siempre lo ha sido. Nunca me pide mucho y con los años sus necesidades son siempre menores”. Escribió también en su cuenta.

Bought my dad a Christmas gift and surprised him. He's had a hard life. This one felt good. My dad, Rocky Johnson is a minimalist. Always has been. Never asks me for much and over the years his needs are always the barest. Crazy story, my dad's dad died when he was 13yrs old. That Christmas, my dad's mom had her new boyfriend over for Christmas dinner. Her boyfriend got drunk and pissed on the turkey. My dad went outside, got a shovel, drew a line in the snow and said if you cross that line I'll kill you. The drunk crossed it and my dad laid him out cold as a block of ice. Cops were called. They told my dad's mom that when her boyfriend regains consciousness, he's gonna kill your son so one of them has got to go. In front of the entire family, my dad's mom looked at him and said get out. He was 13yrs old and now homeless. That f*cked up true story happened in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1954. He needed the bare minimum then, just like does now. Over the years, I've moved him into a big home, got him trucks to drive - which he'll literally drive into the ground until I get him something else. Hell, I'll get him anything he wants, but the SOB just won't ask;). Every Christmas, I always think about that story and my dad having every odd stacked against him at 13, but he fought thru it and still made something of himself. Makes me appreciate his struggle and hard work. Also, makes me appreciate the fun times he would beat my ass in the gym so bad when I was 13 and say "If you're gonna throw up, go outside.. and if you're gonna cry, then go home to your mother". I hated it then, but I embrace it now. Made a man outta me. Without pissing on my turkey. ??????. Just a small way of saying thank you dad and Merry Christmas! #DwantaClaus????

Dwayne aprovechó para contar la historia de su papá, quien vivió acontecimientos bastantes duros. Tuvo que valerse por sí mismo desde la corta edad de 13 años, tras huir de la casa de su madre debido al agresivo novio de esta. A partir de ese momento se ganó la vida él solo.

"Cada Navidad, siempre pienso en esa historia”. "Me hace apreciar su lucha y trabajo duro... ¡Esta es solo una pequeña manera de decir gracias papá y feliz Navidad!"

‘La Roca’ volverá a la pantalla grande el 2017 en la octava entrega de la franquicia de "Rápidos y furiosos" y también al protagonizar la popular serie de los años noventa "Baywatch".
