The Rock is not only about his movies and television shows, but he is also about giving back. This Christmas, he gave his mom, the woman who gave him the most, a sentimental present that made her tears of joy and explained why he gave her that gift!
This one felt good.
Surprise! Bought my mom a new home for Christmas.
All our lives growing up we lived in little apartments all across the country. Lived like gypsies on the road from one state to another.
The first home my parents ever lived in was the one I bought for them in 1999.
They divorced about 5yrs later and as with life, stuff happens and things got a little complicated.
Since then I always made sure my mom and dad have everything they’ll ever need – houses, cars etc.
But the house this time is a special one and the timing is very meaningful.
I told her to treat this card like it’s “Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket” because she gets to choose any home she wants – anywhere she wants.
I always say, if you got a good mama, then you gotta pretty good shot at becoming a decent human being.
And somehow, somewhere along the line I became one lucky SOB to be able to make stuff like this happen.
Merry Christmas Ma and WOOOHOOO enjoy your new home.

While so many celebrities, like the Kardashians, spent the holiday buying themselves expensive useless presents, DJ was buying his mom a house and making wishes come true for kids from Make-A-Wish, Starlight Foundation and Rays of Sunshine Foundation. How can anyone hate him? He gives back!
That is why when I look at the people who went to the same school as me, it makes me proud to say I went to the same college as him. I cannot say the same about going to the same high schools as Jared Kushner and Stephen Collins.
Thank you DJ for being a role model that kids can look up to, don’t ever change.
