When he is not saving puppies, Dwayne Johnson, AKA The Rock, is being a superhero to sick kids. While on a break on the film version of Baywatch with Zac Efron, Dwayne thought he would spread his awesomeness by surprising the kids at Savannah’s Pediatric Specialty Ward:

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is ready to pay it forward this weekend!

While the actor may be hard at work filming scenes with Zac Efron for the upcoming Baywatch movie, the Hollywood star decided to take a break from the beach and visit a few deserving kids.

“I surprised the children at Savannah’s Pediatric Specialty Ward aaaaand look at the concentration on lil’ Aiden’s face!” he wrote on Instagram while giving a fist-bump to one of the patients. “And good Lord I wish I had Aiden’s concentration when I was in my high school math classes. I wouldn’t have failed Algebra twice.”

In true Rock fashion, his Instagram post wouldn’t be complete without a few encouraging words to the families he interacted with.

“To all the kids I met—you guys keep smiling and staying strong. All the mamas and daddy’s I met, y’all stay strong too,” he wrote. “Gotta tell ya little stuff like this will always be the best part of fame.”

He continued, “Awesome experience and THANK YOU to all the hard working and caring staff who helped make this visit possible.”

“Aiden” Is pictured in the first Instagram below. If you have ever known a family with a sick child, you know that any upbeat moments to breakup the nerve-wracking time between tests and results is a blessing. This hospital visit comes on the heels of Dwayne arranging to have Gabriel “Tater” Singleton, a 7 year-old battling stage four neuroblastoma, come to the Baywatch set as his guest. Dwayne posted on Instagram pictures of the boy with the caption, “Tater! Guess what buddy? I’m coming to meet you!! I want you to be my special guest on our #BAYWATCH set in Savannah, GA. Everyone on set is excited to meet you… especially the pretty girls!”

While filming for his show, Ballers, Dwayne worked with an officer named Richard Arias. Eight years ago, Dwayne was escorting his mother, Ata, to weekly chemotherapy and radiation treatments for lung cancer. During that time, Richard was taking his father, Jesus, for treatments at the same hospital. One day, Dwayne and Ata walked in right before Richard and Jesus and when Dwayne saw them, turned around, smiled and held the door for Jesus. Richard told Dwayne he’d been waiting eight years to thank him, saying, “… you have no idea what that moment meant to him. And me.”

In short, The Rock rocks.

I surprised the children at Savannah's Pediatric Specialty Ward aaaaand look at the concentration on lil' Aiden's face!👍🏾. We shot #BAYWATCH scenes at Memorial Health Hospital and thought I'd pop up to the ward. Awesome experience and THANK YOU to all the hard working and caring staff who helped make this visit possible. To all the kids I met – you guys keep smiling and staying strong. All the mamas and daddy's I met, y'all stay strong too. Gotta tell ya little stuff like this will always be the best part of fame. And good Lord I wish I had Aiden's concentration when I was in my high school math classes. I wouldn't have failed Algebra twice. 😂👏🏾👍🏾💯

So I called an audible and went to visit Christopher. Glad we did… While I was visiting the Pediatric Specialty Ward surprising the kids, I got word from my team that there was a mom who was pleading with our production staff, that I go upstairs to her son's room to give him a much needed big surprise. Since he's older he's in the main hospital and not in pediatric care. We were shooting #BAYWATCH scenes outside of the hospital, but instead of heading back to shoot I called the audible, put production on hold and went upstairs to see this young man. I walked in and his smile lit up the room! And I mean lit that room up!;) We talked for a while about his family, his school and how hard he's working to eventually graduate AND we talked about how COOL all his scars are from his multiple surgeries – from his head to his chest – those scars are badges of honor and the reminder of how beyond tough this kid is. Right before I left his mom looked at him and said, "Christopher I can't give you anything, but I'm so happy I could give you this today…" and she started to breakdown, which was captured in this pic. Made me think to give so much credit to these parents who would do anything to take their kid's pain away and ANYTHING to bring a smile to their faces. As a papa bear I understand. Glad this mom brought a smile to Christopher's face. And glad I got a chance to shake the hand of this very strong and inspiring young man. Stay strong Christopher and show them scars with pride. You're the man! ~ DJ
