Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is making friends at UBC. Johnson posted an Instagram video Sept. 28 where he met students and joked around with them. It's already been watched by more than one million people.

"Bottom line, I’m a grateful and lucky SOB to have the greatest fans on earth. Time is my most valued currency these days and I’m always on the go, so I appreciate these students (or anyone for that matter) taking time out of their busy lives to wait patiently for hours while I finished up our #SkyscraperMovieproduction on the campus of University of British Columbia," he wrote.

 

Tears and all. Bottom line, I’m a grateful and lucky SOB to have the greatest fans on earth. Time is my most valued currency these days and I’m always on the go, so I appreciate these students (or anyone for that matter) taking time out of their busy lives to wait patiently for hours while I finished up our #SkyscraperMovie production on the campus of University of British Columbia. I just love my guy in the back of the group jumping up and down like he just slammed a Rock size amount of caffeine and tequila. Good to meet y’all. Keep working hard in school and don’t be like Uncle DJ and get placed on academic probation after his first semester in college. ***editors note: for the record, Uncle DJ bounced back and became Academic Captain two years later of our beloved Miami Hurricane football team. #UBCLuv #TheU

It's not the first time Johnson has posted about the city on social media. In August, he stood on a balcony in a Vancouver highrise and posted an inspirational video, which earned more than five million views, about how failures can eventually lead to success.

 

 

In September, he invited an American 10-year-old to Vancouver as a reward for saving his brother. Read that story here.
