Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson knows how to make someone’s day. When he found out that Hyrum Harris – who’s battling acute lymphomatic leukemia, complicated by Down syndrome – loved his character in the movie, “Moana,” he shared a video on Instagram on Monday.
“I heard you love a movie called ‘Moana,’ which is crazy because I love that movie, too,” The Rock tells Hyrum in the clip. “I also heard you watch ‘Moana’ almost 10 times a day because the character you love, Maui, gives you strength.”
After singing a few lines from “You’re Welcome,” he said, “I know you’re like, ‘Dude, leave the cool singing to Maui.’ You’re absolutely right, Hyrum. I wanted to tell you, man, stay strong. There’s another dude out there, me, Dwayne, who, like you, loves Maui too. There’s no one like Maui. He’s the coolest thing. I’m a big fan of Maui, too, and I’m a big fan of yours. Thanks for inspiring everyone around you, including myself. Stay strong, Hyrum.”
The next day, The Rock got an update about Hyrum’s joyous reaction.
