Pic: The Rock’s message to his mam on Mother’s Day proves what a champ of a man he is

He really is a class act.

In the grand pantheon of people that most men would want to be for a day, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson must rank pretty highly.

Not only is the people’s champion more ripped than the Incredible Hulk’s shirt but he also seems like an really cool guy, as seen by this wonderful gesture to a fan of his that was stricken with cancer and his manic lip-syncing on live TV.

The Rock has frequently talked about the sacrifices that his mother made for his family when he was growing up and the San Andreas actor decided to mark Mother’s Day with this moving post on Instagram.

We knew that he’s just a big softie underneath all that muscle.

Don’t say that to him though because he’ll probably lay the smackdown on our candy ass.

Take a look.

Cool Mother’s Day story.. early am flight and I’m sittin’ across from my mom when out of the blue she looks around the plane, then looks at me and says “Son, I can’t believe the life I have.. grandma and grandpa would be so proud.” I asked her, “Are you happy ma?”. Just then the flight attendant placed my moms breakfast down on the table and my mom said to me, “Am I happy?.. I used to worry about how I was going to buy groceries for us and now I just had my breakfast placed down in front of me”. She bursts into tears and says “Yes, son I couldn’t be happier”. This is the woman who when I was 14yrs old we were evicted out of our apartment in Hawaii ’cause we couldn’t afford the $180 per week rent. At this moment Im shaking my head and smiling quietly (as my mom blows her nose;) ’cause she just told me she’s happy. And y’all know when our parents tell us they’re happy, its so satisfying for us, ’cause it means we’ve done a good job for them as their kids. Happy Mother’s Day to all the deserving amazing mamas out there. And Happy Mother’s Day to my amazing mom who will no doubt kill me for posting this crying pic. #EnjoyBreakfastMom #GratefulTears #TryNotCryInTheEggs
