Actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson speaks onstage during CinemaCon 2022 – Warner Bros. Pictures “The Big Picture” Presentation during CinemaCon 2022 at Caesars Palace on April 26, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has responded to a fan who took a cardboard cutout of the former WWE superstar to her prom earlier this month.

On May 22, Instagram user @smilesweetsraccoon (real name Mel), shared a picture of herself posing with the cutout. The caption read: “Thank you @therock for taking me to prom. I had so much fun. Best date a person could ask for."

When Johnson saw the post, he reshared to his own Instagram feed on Monday (May 30) and said it was “absolutely my honor” to be Mel’s prom date. He wrote: “You were the best prom date EVER!! Great to meet your family and friends too! ps, I’m super happy you posted this!"
