Dwayne Johnson recently wrapped up the shooting of his much-awaited The Titan Games' season 2. He also recently starred in Jumanji: The Next Level, that went on to break several records at the box office. Johnson has been a highly influential personality ever since he featured on a wrestling show. With a base of 173 million followers on Instagram alone, it would be safe to say that Johnson has inspired by millions across the globe by his career trajectory and good deeds. However, there was one instance when a 4-year-old inspired the Jumanji actor.
When Dwayne Johnson got inspired by a 4-year-old cancer patient
Almost 2 years ago, Dwayne Johnson took to Instagram to share a picture of a 4-year-old girl, Caroline Lantz who was suffering from cancer. Lantz was battling with stage four of neuroblastoma. Along with her picture, Dwayne also penned down a heartfelt caption to pray for her well-being and also asked his fans to pray for her too, as she was about to get her surgery done the next day.
The Rampage actor captioned the post writing, "My God look at this beautiful Lil’ 4 3/4’s year old human. I’m so grateful this post caught my eye. We’re all pulling for you Caroline for a successful surgery tomorrow. I don’t know you, but I never knew how much I needed to see this picture until now. You inspire and motivate me. And I’m bald too, so that automatically makes me cool like you. Stay strong. Love, DJ. #Repost @maltz30 Hi @therock! I wanted to reach out to you on behalf of this little, fierce warrior. THIS is Caroline Lantz, she’s 4 ( she’ll tell you she is 4 and 3/4 🤣) and she is battling Stage 4 Stage Neuroblastoma: a high-risk, aggressive cancer that has spread throughout almost all of her body, including her bone marrow. She needs us all on our knees praying🙏 for her as she goes in for her surgery to remove her tumour this Friday, April 27th at 8:00 am CST. I know you are a busy man, but if you have a moment to reach out to all of your fans to ask that they pray for Caroline this Friday it would mean the world to this precious girl!"
