Hollywood film news on August
Johnson touched by prisoner's well wishes
Indo-Asian News Service
London, Aug 10 (IANS) Action star Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was
touched when a criminal prayed for him after he fell ill during
the shooting of his new movie "The Gridiron
Gang".
.
According to contactmusic.com, Johnson was trying to recover
from food poisoning as he shoot night sequences at a juvenile
prison camp in California when he confronted a
convict on his way to solitary confinement. Johnson had a brief
conversation with the troubled teen and was amazed by his
kindness.
He says: "I had been sick the day before and the next night we
were shooting in the dorms. A fight had broken out among the
inmates and I saw a kid in cuffs on his way to
solitary confinement. He looked up at me and said, 'Hey Rock, I
heard you were sick.'
"Up until that point I had not been aware of how fast word
spreads through the dorms. Then he said, 'I'm gonna pray that
you feel better,' and just walked on. Here's someone
I didn't know, who I'll probably never see again, taking the
time to express his concern for me. It was very moving and it
showed that no matter what these kids have done,
they are still just kids with feelings and emotions for
others.".
