In his hometown of Hawaii, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson went back to a 7-Eleven to “right the wrong” of stealing candy when he was a teenager.
The Black Adam actor wrote on Instagram that he used to take a Snickers bar from the nearby 7-11 “every day” on his way to the gym when he was 14 years old. He had the candy bar as a pre-workout treat.
“I finally exorcised this damn chocolate demon that’s been gnawing at me for decades,” the Rock wrote. “We were evicted from Hawaii in ‘87 and after all these years – I finally got back home to right this wrong.”
At the time, Johnson shouted out the store employee, claiming that she “always just turned her head and never busted me.”
“I’ve exercised a few big demons over the years (I still have a few left;) so I know this one seems VERY SILLY but every time I come back home to Hawaii and drive by 7-11…I always knew I needed to go in and clean out every Snickers bar they had – the right way,” he added.
The Rock is shown in a video purchasing items for $298 from customers who enter the store. Then he informed BK, the cashier, that he would leave all 40 Snickers on the table for anyone who appeared to be stealing one.
“We can’t change the past and some of the dumb stuff we may have done, but every once in a while we can add a little redeeming grace note to that situation,and maybe put a big smile on some strangers’ faces,” he concluded.
