Dwayne Johnson made another
bid for the title of Best Son Ever when he gave his mom the house of her
choosing for Christmas. "This one felt good," Johnson captioned his
instagram post. "All our lives growing up we lived in little apartments
all across the country."
The
first home my parents ever lived in was the one I bought for them in 1999. They
divorced about 5yrs later and as with life, stuff happens and things got a
little complicated. Since then I always made sure my mom and dad have
everything they’ll ever need - houses, cars etc. But the house this time is a
special one and the timing is very meaningful. I told her to treat this card
like it’s “Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket” because she gets to choose any home she
wants - anywhere she wants. I always say, if you got a good mama, then you
gotta pretty good shot at becoming a decent human being. And somehow, somewhere
along the line I became one lucky SOB to be able to make stuff like this
happen. Merry Christmas Ma and WOOOHOOO enjoy your new home.
Johnson has always been
frank about his family's early struggles, including the fact that they were
evicted from their home when he was just 14 years old. "We were living in
an efficiency that cost $120 a week," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "We come
home, and there's a padlock on the door and an eviction notice. My mom starts
bawling. She just started crying and breaking down. 'Where are we going to
live? What are we going to do?'" Given that experience, the fact that
Johnson's now able to gift his mom the home of her choosing is even more sweet.
