The Rock is a big fan of The Notebook because get this!! He is a fan of romantic comedies. The Rock was highly impressed with the director Nick Casavettes and feels that everyone should see the film. In his own words "You're like 'Oh my word, this is amazing,’ and then they flipping die! I looked at my girlfriend Lauren, she's bawling. Oh, my word. Don't give me a stupid ending like that.” Well!! He hated the ending.

This is not an understatement. The Rock is a super nice guy and a sweetheart. He is someone who makes time to go up and say hi to the sound guy’s son if he comes to visit his dad on sets. This is not a social media thing and Johnson is habituated in bringing kids with disabilities on the sets and will never post about it. He is that type of man and usually does such things for the Make-a-wish foundation.
During the filming of Skyscraper, he got hundreds of pounds of candy and with friends from Microsoft even got Xboxes for them to play where he would join in the fun. He has taken many kids on drives in Lamborghinis and Ferraris around the neighborhood. He also gave this speech onset "I just want to tell you how brave you kids are. I'm blown away by your strength, and I wish I had half of it.” The Rock is that kind of guy.

Blair Rich the president for marketing for Warner Brothers shared a story where Johnson gave her advice on her eating habits. When they had a meeting for “Rampage” Rich had not eaten the whole day and was shaky. Rich was sitting with a packet of unopened Chicken salad in front of her and Dwayne asked her if that was her lunch. Rich replied yes but said she would eat it later Rich said, "I am, but its fine, don't worry, I'll eat after.” In front of 50 people, Johnson opens the packet and started feeding the salad to Rich which made her face turn red.

According to Johnson "Obviously so many things have to come together for that to happen. But I have faith that one day the right thing will come along, the kind of script that makes everyone feel good but also has these awesome elements to it.” He wants to win an Oscar or at least host the event and his fans would love to see him do so.
The Rock is dedicated to both life and career and there never was a nicer celebrity in Hollywood which is why he is only The Rock in name but is actually a softie.
