Dwayne Johnson has been recognized as one of the nicest people in Hollywood for years, and there are little things he does that reminds us why he has that title. Not only is he an incredibly successful actor, but he also has a heart of gold that's so admirable. Dwayne Johnson's Instagram video to a little boy is so touching that it made the boy's day and just might make yours too. Johnson posted the video yesterday and it has already accumulated 4.5 million views and thousands of comments. Johnson addresses a little boy named Hyrum Harris, who has "acute lymphoblastic leukemia which is complicated by Down Syndrome", according to the caption. Johnson started off by telling viewers that "this little boy is in the fight of his life." He then speaks directly to Hyrum and says, "I heard that you love a movie called Moana, which is crazy because I love that movie too. And I also heard that you watch Moana almost 10 times a day because the character you love, Maui, gives you strength." Johnson finishes the video by singing a bit of You're Welcome from the film. And he accompanied it with a lengthy caption as well. In part of it he wrote, "Hyrum, I know I’m a complete stranger to you - who sounds a lot like your hero, MAUI (only with a very large head), but myself along with millions of other strangers who will watch this video are sending you so much love, strength and mana your way. I STRONG. Love, the Rock aka the dude who sounds a lot like Maui." View this post on Instagram There’s a little 3 year old boy out there named, Hyrum Harris. Diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia which is complicated by Down Syndrome. In the fight of his life right now and doing his best to stay strong - by watching MOANA up to 10xs a day because the character he loves, MAUI makes him feel strong. According to Hyrum’s mama, his most important thing to say now is, I STRONG. Yes you are big man. Yes you are. Hyrum, I know I’m a complete stranger to you - who sounds a lot like your hero, MAUI (only with a very large head), but myself along with millions of other strangers who will watch this video are sending you so much love, strength and mana your way. I STRONG. Love, the Rock aka the dude who sounds a lot like Maui.
