Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently returned to a 7-Eleven in Hawaii to “right the wrong” of stealing candy from the store when he was a teenager.
The Rock explained in an Instagram post that his family was “broke as hell” when he used to live there for nearly a year when he was 14. He confessed that he would steal a Snickers bar from the store “every day” on the way to the gym as his pre-workout snack because he couldn’t afford to buy one.
The Rock posted about his recent visit to the store, where he was seen emptying the shelves of every Snickers bar, buying all of them, and then leaving the Snickers bars for anyone to take for free.
Johnson told the store clerk, “if somebody looks like they’re stealing Snickers, give them these, so they don’t steal it.”
The Rock paid the bill, which ended up being $298, and tipped the clerk who had to count all the bars he bought and another cashier who was also working at the time. He then graciously posed for selfies with fans.
“And as a bonus, it was a lot of fun to take care of everybody who walked into 7-11 while I was there,” he quipped.
“We can’t change the past and some of the dumb stuff we may have done, but every once in a while, we can add a little redeeming grace note to that situation — and maybe put a big smile on some stranger’s face,” Johnson said.
