The Hollywood star was moved by Gorimbo’s humble story of having only KSh 1000 left in his account after sending his UFC earnings to his village in Zimbabwe for a water well.

The WWE legend decided to surprise Gorimbo at a gym, where he sneaked up behind him during an interview and revealed the fantastic gift.

Gorimbo was speechless and emotional as he hugged Johnson and thanked him for the gesture. He promised to train harder to achieve his goal of becoming a champion in his fight division.

“You and your family enjoy your new house, brother. The lights are on. The bills are paid. Keep your “My Reason” list close, keep taking care of your people, and I’m honoured to play a very, very small role in your $7 bucks journey,” The Rock wrote.

Adding:

“I’ve been there too. Got your back, brother. Let’s get to work on that dream of becoming @ufc champion one day.”
