Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Makes a Surprise Appearance at a High School Prom (Sort of)

One of The Rock's biggest fans showed up at prom with "Dwayne Johnson." She had a blast, but he looked a little... board.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was spotted at a high school prom with a loyal fan — well, sort of.

The fan — only known as Mel — brought a cardboard cutout of the former WWE star to her high school prom.

Another posted: "A true gentleman." While a third wrote: "You are the best Dwayne."

Some fans were sorry they didn't think of taking the cutout on a date. "Why didn't we think of this?" one fan wrote tagging a friend.

Another commented: "Girl is a legend, sorry @therock 🙌" And a third replied: "OMG I love this girl! ❤️😂"

The One Quote That Inspires “The Rock” to Be Kind

Mel also left a comment under Johnson's post. "You are such an amazing person. You absolutely made my senior year in high school the best. Thank you for everything. ❤️" she wrote.

This isn't the first time the actor has been praised for his acts of generosity, like when he gave away his custom truck to a veteran. He says hearing one particular quote by John Templeton when he was 15 really stuck with him: "It is nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice."
