Dwayne Johnson stops film production to meet fan with special needs (Photo)

In case you needed another reason to like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson how about the fact that he stopped production on the set of Baywatch to meet with a fan who has special needs.

If you haven’t already noticed Johnson may be the nicest celebrity or human on the planet and here’s more proof why.

While filming his upcoming movie on April 25, Johnson got word that a fan with special needs had traveled to the set and was willing to wait all day to meet him, but Johnson didn’t make him wait. Instead, The Rock immediately held up production to greet the young fan named Ryan and his family.

Johnson posted about the meeting on social media and shared a shot of him hugging Ryan’s mother.

Thank you universe. I was on set this morning ready to start our shooting day when I got word that there was a family with a special needs young man named RYAN who was hoping to meet me. They understood that they travelled in unannounced but they were willing to wait all day until I wrapped to meet. That would've 12hrs. Way too long. So I asked production to hold and walked across the beach to the barriers where they were waiting. When I walked down the stairs, Ryan's mom (pictured here) was waiting with a huge hug! Her tears started to come as she whispered, "Thank you, thank you". I met Ryan, his brother and his nurse. What a great and cool kid. Without getting into the details, this kid has waaaaaay more heart, is stronger and tougher than I could ever imagine. He can't talk much, but he did tell me, "I love you" in sign language. I thanked him so much for that love. I walked away from this family so grateful to have met them and Ryan. I don't ever take meetings like this for granted and when that mama hugged me today and I felt her start to cry... that stuff gets me every single time I hug a parent in these situations, because I'm a parent too and will do anything to make my babies happy and put a smile on their faces. I know I'm a lucky guy to be in this position and have this platform. I'm grateful and moments like this will always, ALWAYS be the best part of my job. Stay strong Ryan and thanks for teaching me how to sign language buddy. Great meeting you and your family. Thank you universe.

One look at his Instagram and you’ll see that he does this sort of thing all the time and always says that the best part of his job is meeting his brave fans.

Johnson is definitely a superhero in our book!
