Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has shared a heartwarming video of him gifting a truck to an old friend he credits with helping change the course of his life.
Sharing the video with his 209 million Instagram followers, the WWE Superstar-turned-Hollywood icon shared a story about one of his "lifelong friends", Bruno Lauer.
Writing alongside the video, Johnson captioned the post: "Merry Christmas, Bruno [...] Love you, brother!"

The 48-year-old actor continued: "My life (especially my teenage years) has been full of the wildest twists and turns - yet God and the universe had always found a way to put a few people in my path that would change the trajectory of the road I was going down.
"Meet one of my lifelong friends, Bruno Lauer."
WWE fans may recognize Bruno Lauer, as he portrayed on-screen manager Harvey Wippleman - who accompanied wrestlers such as Sid Justice, Kamala, Giant Gonzalez, and Bertha Faye.
He is also recognized as the only man in history to win the WWE Women's Championship.
Johnson then revealed that Lauer took him in when Dwayne was a teenager, writing: "My mom and I were evicted off the island of Hawaii and I was sent to Nashville, Tennessee to live with my dad. When I landed in Nashville, I quickly found out I wasn’t gonna live with my dad.
"S**t happens, plans change and that’s the way it goes.
"Instead, I told I was gonna live with a guy named Bruno. Who at the time lived in a tiny room at a spot called the Alamo Plaza motel.
"Bruno could’ve (and should’ve) said hell no, I’m not takin’ in some kid who I don’t know. But he didn’t.
"He took this punk kid in and we became lifelong friends."
In the video, the pair shared a story of how Lauer gave a 15-year-old Johnson "his last $40" so that he could buy a car.

After recounting their whirlwind story (which sounded more like an old WWE storyline than real life), Johnson revealed that he had bought his old friend a new truck.
Lauer then tells Rock: "I love you man, and not because of this, because of who you are."
He then told Johnson: "There's only about five people in the world I would die for and you're one of them."
Johnson ended the emotional post by writing: "I love you, brother. Your kindness and heart - helped change my life’s trajectory.
"And when you’re ready to retire from 'the business' you just say the word. I got you covered."
