Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has made up for his past missteps.

Over the weekend, the 50-year-old Black Adam star shared a video on his social media page, documenting a recent visit to a 7-Eleven in Hawaii.

In the footage, the wrestler-turned-actor purchased out the store's entire Snickers bars supply and left them for any customers to take for free.

While it was a generous move, it was also an act of redeeming himself. When Johnson was just 14 years old, he would go to the same 7-Eleven and steal the chocolate bar on his way to the gym because he couldn't afford to buy one.

The video on The Rock's Instagram amassed over 1 million likes, with many users on the social media platform writing that they are happy that a famous star was willing to learn from their mistakes.

One user praised: "That's what it's about! Fixing the things we might have broke! Legendary stories!"

Another applauded: "That's kinda awesome. Not the whole stealing everyday part, but just going out there and making it right is amazing."

The Rock has always been known for his good deeds, which have included surprising students with disabilities, supporting kids with cancer, and even kissing a baby that was crowd surfed to him. This past June, he also bought his mother a home.

"When I was a little boy, I hated when my mom would cry," he wrote in an emotional Instagram post. "These days, I'll happily take her tears of joy."

"Mom, there’s no greater feeling than to make you happy ~ welcome home. I always say, if you got a good mom then you got a shot at becoming a good, caring human being," he added.
