The Rock Surprises Stunt Double Cousin With Truck

Normally, when we think of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, we picture the super tough action movie star. But off-screen, this talented actor has a much softer side. Dwayne started off as a wrestler for the WWE, but as the years went on, he made the transition to a successful movie career. Some of his blockbuster hits include Disney’s Moana, The Scorpion King and The Fast and Furious films.

Dwayne has appeared in countless action films and each one normally involves some big stunt. That’s where his cousin, Tanoai Reed, comes in. Tanoai has been Dwayne’s longtime stunt double and he helps pull off those epic action scenes in each film. Dwayne recently made a post to Instagram that said, “Over the course of my career, my stunt double (and cousin) Tanoai Reed has broken multiple bones, severed tendons, torn ligaments.” He also included a video clip of the two men together.

Tanoai thought that he was being interviewed with Dwayne about their career together, but this man had no idea the surprise in store. Dwayne wanted to show his cousin just how much he’s appreciated all of his hard work over the years, so he purchased a custom pick up truck and set up the elaborate reveal.

Just watch the moment when Tanoai realizes that all of this was for him and he embraces Dwayne full of emotion. What an incredible way to give back to a very special person. It’s obvious that these two share a lot of love for each other and I think they’ll be working together for years to come.
