The Rock besucht kranke Kinder

Dwayne Johnson (43) hat während der Dreharbeiten zum "Baywatch"-Film ein Kinderkrankenhaus in Los Angeles besucht. "An alle Kids, die ich getroffen habe: Kopf hoch und bleibt stark. Und an alle Mütter und Väter, die ich getroffen habe: Bleibt auch stark", schrieb der Schauspieler am Sonntag (Ortszeit) auf Instagram und postete zwei Bilder von seinem Besuch.

 

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

Aufbauend
Auf einem Foto steht der Action-Star ("Fast and Furious") vor einem Krankenhausbett. Die Mutter des kranken Christopher habe sein Produktionsteam um das Treffen gebeten. "Wir haben darüber geredet, wie cool all seine Narben von verschiedenen Operationen aussehen - vom Kopf bis zu seiner Brust. Die Narben sind wie eine Art Ehrenabzeichen und die Erinnerung daran, wie stark dieses Kind ist."

Im Dienste der guten Sache
Johnson sagte, er habe vor der Klinik Szenen für "Baywatch" gedreht und für den Besuch die Produktion kurz unterbrochen. Die Verfilmung der Rettungsschwimmer-Serie aus den 90ern soll 2017 ins Kino kommen.
