“Not my finest hour,” says Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson as he posts a picture of a broken gate on Instagram.
The 48-year-old then reveals that he literally tore down his own front gate after a power outage caused by a storm rendered it inoperable.
“Not my finest hour, but a man’s gotta go to work,” said Johnson in his caption. “We experienced a power outage due to severe storms, causing my front gate not to open. I tried to override the hydraulic system to open the gates, which usually works when the power goes out — but this time it wouldn’t.”
“Made some calls to see how fast I can get the gate tech on-site, but I didn’t have 45min to wait,” Johnson continued. “By this time, I know I have hundreds of production crew members waiting for me to come to work so we can start our day.”
“So I did what I had to do,” he remarked. “I pushed, pulled and ripped the gate completely off myself. Ripped it completely out of the brick wall, severed the steel hydraulics and threw it on the grass. My security team was able to meet the gate technician and welders about an hour later — and they were apparently, ‘in disbelief and equally scared’.”
Johnson concluded his caption with a plug for his upcoming role as the titular DC superhero in Black Adam.
“And I think I’m one hundred percent ready to be Black Adam,” wrote the actor.
His post has over four million likes with his followers expressing their disbelief at his actions.
Johnson has the honour of being Hollywood’s highest-paid actor two years in a row now, pulling in over $87 million from June 2019 to June 2020.
This makes us wonder what he would do during frequent power outages in Pakistan.
